I bought each from two different sellers. One was box-stock original and one ... | |

| Aurender N100H vs N10 I had a similar experience until I moved up to better cords and cables. My point is that improving the inputs and ancillaries will optimize the sound quality from the gear one has now as well as gear upgrades down the road. I think it is a tragedy... | |

| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! Very well could be the case, daveyf. I would estimate the room was 20’ x 25’ x 10’, with the speakers positioned on the short wall about 5 feet out. There was a large opening in the wall opposite the speakers. Acoustical treatment was minimal, jus... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! I honestly regret being the contrarian here but a good buddy and I attended the demo here in Houston yesterday and we both felt there was something seriously amiss with the sound. Not sure what the culprit was (all gear seemed to be very high cali... | |

| Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe techno_dude,Clarity is not the issue, asserting opinion as fact is and that seems to be your way. Hopefully, readers here are astute enough to temper those types of statements with proper caution, ie #ignore.Dave | |
