| Handling Heavy Amps I just purchased a pair of 83 pound mono blocks. I tried putting them on top of my cabinet and about hurt myself, so now they are sitting on pieces of granite and there are furniture movers underneath. I can move them when needed without to much t... | |
| For the love of...kits? I miss the Heathkit and Hafler days. I built a Heathkit multi band radio, A David Hafler D110(?) preamp and a couple of D220 amps that got modded several times. Ahhh, the good old days. | |
| Better cd SQ I’m running a $550 Audiolab 6000CDT into a Denafrips Pontus ll DAC that I believe is currently around $1700US. All the Best. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Cool, I’ve pretty much decided there will be a N200 in future.😁 | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @12many I don’t know how to answer your question. It’s not just a trumpet. It’s anything from a Saxophone to Joni Mitchell’s voice to an electric guitar. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 So it’s been a year plus since you got the N200. Are you still loving it? Have you changed anything else since you bought it? I’m looking to buy the same streamer, so I thought I’d ask. | |

| how do you stream ethernet quality in a non ethernet (wi fi only) room @audiocanada Most if not all streamers have cache memory. Even my cheap BS Node N130 has like 8gig of cache and I’ve seen 256 gig on other streamers. | |
| Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component? Absolutely yes. I ask all the time and rarely get a no as an answer. Heck, I even asked if I could return a dog once as I wasn’t sure she would play well with the other dogs and a cat we had at the time. All the best. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Just got around to listening to the Soren Bebe Trio and this weekend, I’ll be listening to more. 🎶 | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble @erik_squires So I’m listening to Jazz @ 65-70 dbs and a trumpet pops in @80-85 dbs and it makes my ears hurt. The same can be said for Saxophone, electric guitars and some female singers. I currently have 6 absorption panels and furniture and ... | |
