| Quobuz subscription I wish I could help you with your problem but I just subscribed to Quobuz thru my Esoteric network player and it performs flawlessly and sounds fantastic. Im really impressed with the quality of Quobuz. Im sure Tidal is good too but Quobuz seems t... | |
| streaming and audiophile stereo Huge! I went from a bluesound node to an Esoteric network streamer and I’m here to tell you that they don’t even compare. Don’t skimp on a good streamer. Lumin, Esoteric, but if your budget really can’t handle that, a node with at least a linear p... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? Mine is in the same room. If you have the proper space and acoustics why not. Ht receivers especially high end receivers have a “pass thru” circuit that allows for isolation of each pre amp and respective amps. I’m my scenario it works out great. | |
| Previous Ownership...does it matter to you? Yes I’d like to know if it’s the original owner, or how many owners the piece had. If it was a demo. Absolutely. I have bought used gear and demos in the past without issues but full disclosure is always the best policy. | |

| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures I agree with all you’ve said and I really love it when they don’t even take the time to take any pictures. If I’m the least bit interested I’ll ask for pics but more often than not I won’t even bother and certain won’t buy. | |
| Analyzing DACs There’s a lot to be said about separate components if you have the space. The two biggest issues are noise isolation and separate power supply’s. That’s where you get performance. | |
| Ozzy is done I thought he was finished 20 years ago. | |
| Where to spend my money... Don’t over look the VPI Scouts, especially with the heavy metal platter and nordost JmW 9 tonearm. These are the precursor to the Prime and with a few upgrades like feet and motor you can get equal to or surpass the performance of a Prime for less... | |
| Tough amp decision McIntosh for sure! | |
| DC blockers - what's your experience I use iFi on my NAS and fiber transmitter….they work excellent and are extremely affordable. |
