Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options?
@constantin1970, I have them under my big Tannoys. I think sticking to the floor (creating a suction) is how they are supposed to work.   
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
I agree. We lived thru the glory days of rock, fm radio, vinyl etc. Those were the days for music!  
Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience?
I have Tannoy Churchill’s with 15 in dual concentrics. Let me tell you they are nothing, I mean nothing like the coaxial and triaxial speakers of yesteryear!   
Has anyone noticed a slow down in sales?
Yes, I have 3 pieces on eBay, 2 vintage macs. Lots of lookers but nothing yet, but they are 7 day auctions….so we have a few days left.   
This Sounds Like A Pretty Good Deal -- Opinions?
That’s an incredible price for a fantastic amplifier. The 225 was one of their best amps. So were the mc30s which I have two of and will probably never part with. Along with an MX110z which I’ll also never part with. I don’t know about the c11 but... 
Innuos PULSE Mini?
I think you can use the zen mini power supply as an upgrade. Any other word on where this might be available?   
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
Oh @designsfx, you said the U2 mini is not broken in yet, hear they take some play time, Lumins overall are rather warm sounding, just a thought.

@designsfx Thanks for your impressions. Im really leaning towards the mini for several reasons. First I am having a hard time justifying three times the price for the U1….including the salesman. Second, I hear the new processors are great. Third I...

@designsfx I didn’t know a Lumin U2 has been released yet? Do you mean the U2 mini. Also a great unit. I’m currently in the process of deciding on the U2 mini or the U1 or wait until a U2 is released. Thanks.

+1 @jimmy2615 the Lumin U1 is supposed to be an awesome unit if you have a DAC. It’s basically an S1 without a DAC. I’m wrestling with this decision right now. It’s is highly recommend by a friend of mine who who’d did some comparisons with others... 
VPI upgrade?
I’m a VPI lover, VPIs love upgrades. I own a scout II, upgraded the feet, motor, and added a walker speed controller. Also put a Koetsu rosewood signature on it. It will take anything you throw at it and return the favor. In my opinion you can’t g... 
Buyer anxiety
Wooooooooo…..red lights!  
The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details
I agree. In a recording or broadcast studio is one thing but in the home setting I think they suck the life out of the music. The same things apples to carpeting in the home. My opinion.   
Qobuz hell
First, why didn’t you like it? I’m trying to decide if I want to get into subscription streaming. Also, can’t you just cut off your credit card? I’m sorry that you’ve had a bad experience but those of us who are still deciding want to hear you’re ... 
Network optimization for serious streamers
@wvbossfan I agree 100% on the fiber recommendation. I’ve got fantastic results with that. Also if you look at some of the high end streamers like Lumin, they do fiber internally in the component. This is what reduces the network noise which gives...
