| TOTL Headphone Amps Thanks Greg! I completely agree with @mitchb . Having also come from the Taurus Mk2, the 430HA is definitely a step up in resolve and mid bass detail. The 430HA has a speaker-like presentation, which I personally love. | |

| streaming DACs around $4k Dave we spoke on the phone earlier this week about the T2. The more research I do, the more I think PSA DirectStream DAC with Bridge II is the way to go... | |

| Identify System Bottleneck - Digital Front End or Preamp @audiotroy why do you recommend the lumin t2 over the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge? | |

| Identify System Bottleneck - Digital Front End or Preamp Negative, give me a real upgrade plan. Not hocus-pocus...Let me restate the ask, again:"Need some opinions on whether to upgrade my digital front end or preamp first" | |
| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better noromance, no the rack will be on the side wall. Only amp stand between speakers. | |
| Opinions Please - Which Turntable Rack is Better Thanks for the replies everyone.

I have changed direction and starte... |
