Head Amp For Naim Uniticute2 Help Appreciated
It's your lucky day. The Schiit Lyr can be had for about $450. I got mine from Audio Advisor. Check out the reviews at 6 Moons and other sites to see if it's something you'd enjoy. It's very powerful and matches well with my AKG702's. I rarely use... 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
For my coffee consumption, I use a 42 ounce Frieling French Press. I hand grind Jamaican Blue Mountain beans in a Kyocera CM-50 with a modified lower bearing to assure consistency of grind. Coffee is one of the things the U.S. just can't get right... 
Which REL sub, R528 or B2

Starter System Suggestions
NAD!!!! Get the boy a nice NAD integrated and some monitors. It's the best way to start. Seriously, nothing beats NAD for the price. He'll never forget it when he moves on.

Haha, this is hilarious. It's always bothered me. How about on the sidewalk or deck? These are the book smart people that took 3 tries to pass their drivers test. Nothing wrong with them, but don't buy from them under any circumstances. I have a b...
