| Eversolo dmp A6 vs Master edition vs Z8 I loved the standard A6 in my system and one of the primary reasons for the purchase was to rip my 600+ CDs to a 2TB SSD. The ripping app was so buggy - it would rip 3 or 4 discs fine, then it wouldn't rip. It would give me a "restart?" message ... | |
| When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached? If everyone actually enjoys music (which I truly hope), isn't that all that matters? I love LIVE music, Spotify through my Blowz NC headphones on the plane, Spotify @ work on my crappy laptop and Qobuz on my budget (to most) systems at home. It h... | |
| Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$ @ John 1629 - I have had the i-3 in my office system for 7 years. Last year, I had a desire for a Mac integrated and bought a used MA5200. The blue lights were mesmerizing for about a month and then I ended up turning them off :-) That aside, ... | |
| Good movie and/or 4k disc recommendations? 1917 and Heat are two of my favorites. Oh, John Wick 1 and 2 - not so much 3. | |
| Denon AVR-X4700H & Vandersteen 2Ce Signature III. If you have an Ayre with an HT bypass, you're all set for 2-channel integration. One of these? Ayre AC-5 Twenty Ayre AX-5 Ayre AX-7e Ayre EX-8 | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV I wanted Cornwalls for my living/HT room, but I had to settle for Heresy IV's. First world problems. Alas, the Revel F35s sounded better for HT, so the Heresy IV's went to my office and I'm really liking them in that small (12x10) space. I look... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV If I dropped over $6k on speakers, they had better sound pretty damn good stock. Why anyone would spend all that money and then plan all those mods? Seems like you might be happier with a different speaker to begin with...maybe $6,000 isn't a lot... | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? Here are the first three that come to mind: Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light (Bruce Springsteen) John Mayer Trio (Live) - Wait ‘til Tomorrow (Hendrix) Alana Davis - 32 Flavors (Ani DiFranco) | |

| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Just an update - I went a totally different route. I went on TMR's website early this morning and they had a mint Mac MA5200 with original box, remote, etc. I had a 5% off coupon code that one of the sales reps gave me the other day and I pulled... | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Thanks for all the input. Still not closer to making a decision, but I appreciate all the suggestions. Lots of different ways to go.... | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp I found a simple switch on Amazon that has nice 5-way binding posts. | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Thanks so much, Elliott. Just for ease, solution 2 sounds better right now. Any ideas for a speaker switching device? | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Thanks, tweak. I was looking at LSA's Discovery Warp 1 as a candidate earlier on. I didn't realize Audio gd made all those electronics. I remember them from my headphone days, but never owned any of their gear. | |
| $4000 budget for amp and preamp Thanks, guys. I hadn't really considered a tube integrated. I used to own a Primaluna integrated with EL34s and I really liked it with the Totems. I didn't like leaving it on all the time and would have kept it if it had a remote. Glad you men... |
