| Accuphase or Leben for heavy metal Hi - I don't think I've posted before, but thought I'd chip in here as I've (very nearly) the two amps and listen to quite a bit of metal. I've three integrated amps: Accuphase E-550, Leben CS600X and Mcintosh 6700 which are rotated between Peak ... | |
| Bluesound Powernode 2 There's a timing coincidence...I just sold my Powernode2 on ebay yesterday!!!I was originally concerned that, coming from the same family, it would be a bit like the Nad 7050 which I really didn't get on with. Thankfully it was considerably better... | |
| High quality portable server/player/dac for car Thanks Guys. I've had a play and my conclusion is that the HK "upgrade" isn't up to much - be that via HQ portable or using the car's DAC.

| Bluesound Powernode 2 Thanks B and Adrian, much appreciated. I didn't realise there was a 30 day period so might take advantage of that.Adrian - one quick question re. the Atom. Do you use it with Roon? If so can you FULLY control it via the Roon app - i.e. turn the un... | |
| Bluesound Powernode 2 Thanks willemj but I'm pretty much committed to a singular/simple Roon end point. We use Roon throughout the house and the wife, Kids, granny, nanny etc are all familiar with it. I've no doubt that there are excellent alternatives out there but I'... |
