| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Not done yet. When I retire in 5 years, the system will have to shrink. An amp that has 2 huge heavy units, a sizable preamp, large dac, streamer and 2 big floor speakers will be too large for retirement home. I love it and it has taught me a lot ... | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I purchased a pair of Zu Soul Supremes and had the same issue. I waited for break in and went past the return date. I never got over the fatigue and ended up selling them. Was able to listen to Audio Note e/lx and problem solved. I don’t blame Zu,... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? I think it’s important to realize everyone has different hearing ability and ways they enjoy their music. Do you sit in a chair that’s perfectly positioned and analyze each aspect of the music and wonder if it could be improved if you just…..Are y... | |
| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement Tiled floor. Even the rubber/cork/rubber feet I have the stands on slide easy. Probably not the best for acoustics though! Lol | |
| Mutec Ref 10 Nano and MC 3 USB Thanks benzman. Will do some research on the Ock. | |
| Needing DAC Advice I had 4 dacs at one point of varying “levels”. The Topping dl90, Cambridge modified by ModWright with tubes, Audio Note and Rockna Wavedream. The Rockna was a game changer for me. Was better in every regard compared to the others and really woke u... | |
| Mutec Ref 10 Nano and MC 3 USB Thanks Oddiofyl. Seems to be the general consensus is good. Wish I knew more about streamers with clocks as good as the Mutec. At this point I’d rather just upgrade that but I have no idea if streamers have the quality of the Mutec. I don’t want t... | |
| Mutec Ref 10 Nano and MC 3 USB Important to add that I stream Apple Music with Lossless. | |

| Aric Audio and my system Right on evank. Congratulations. You’re going to love it. Please keep us in the loop when you get it. Always love reading others impressions. | |
| Aric Audio and my system Thanks soix. Nice double entendre! It’s not only great to listen to but a relief to know that what I was hoping for was achievable with the funds I had. Also, great to learn about an entirely new technology. Tubes can be a bit frustrating at times... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Thank you jond. Greatly appreciated. I look forward to visiting my buddy so I can hear his Decware mk3 with Zu speakers so I can compare. I was impressed when I first heard it and now have gone through this experience and would like to revisit the... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Good luck with the review Aric. I’m sure it will go well. Glad you’re loving your amp jtcf. Which amp did you go with? Hang in there evank. I’ve seen amps and preamps come up from time to time on Aric’s site. Just check in every few days and be ... | |
| Aric Audio and my system Thanks for answering evank Aric. Saves me scrolling through the old emails! Lol | |
| Aric Audio and my system And Charles, you are so right regarding the bits are bits debate. Anyone who could sit and listen to the 3 dacs couldn’t possibly agree to that statement. The difference between the Topping and Cambridge is quite noticeable. The difference between... |
