Got a Node 2i, what's next?
My suggestion would be the Denefrips Ares ll. Buy a Shunyata Venom digital cable for your Node 2i, you’ll thank me! 
This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree
Next thread.... Silver or Black Components, which sound better? 
If the Shunyata Black Mamba is snake oil, then put me down for 55 gallons!
Have you heard any of their  other power cords for comparison? 
Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system?
Used KEF LS50 wireless or new LSX 
Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic?
Caglioti-I have the XA-25 paired with the LTA-MZ2. It's a wonderful combination, eventually would like to move up to a the MZ3 or the big boy model.I wish I could say I have paired with some Klipsch products to see how it sounds, but I haven't don...

Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
I purchased 2 bass traps for the front wall behind my speakers. The difference was revelatory. Today the FedEx truck brought 5 more panels, and I spent the morning experimenting. Again, revelatory! "These rooms don’t really have a need for treatme...

Someone please talk me out of this
My fraternity brothers never talked me out of doing something stupid. They might have talked me out of doing something real stupid. In a way we’re your frat brothers and this doesn’t sound real stupid. Go for it! 
Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25?
The Rogue was my other choice.  
Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25?
Went through the same scenario, looking for a preamp for my XA25. I have a older model Supratek Sauvignon and a LTA MZ2. For my ears the LTA won hands down. I still have the Supratek and will experiment with some different tubes.

Millercarbon- What does “As soon as we move from the hypothetical home of the scoundrel to the particular home of the individual then acoustic treatment can suddenly matter a lot.”On what planet do you exist? Why was it important to include the wo... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
mc-You can do a lot of room treatment for $1000.00. GIK has a starter kit for around $600.00. It can be just as impactful as buying new speakers. You also could buy red carpet and a lava lamp, but the smart audiophile would choose room treatment.p... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
Start with room treatment. You'll never hear what your speakers/system is capable of. Start with first reflection points. Locate your system on the short wall.Good luck & happy listening!
