Mola Mola Kula, anyone?
I have the Makua pre with onboard Tambaqui.  I love it.  I first used it with a pair of Kaluga amps.  Beautiful set up, dynamic and punchy for sure.  I have since replaced the Kaluga Monos with a pair of Audionet Max mono amps.  To me, much better... 
Classe CT 5300
Hello,I owned both a SSP-800 and a CA-2300 amp.  the processor had multiple issues, needing repair 3 times.  I fixed it twice then sold it for parts.  While the amp had no issues, I would be reluctant to pour much money into it.   Modern amps soun... 
Help wanted spending money and improving my system.
Hello fastninja12,who were the first eleven?Nice system!  Does seem like a lot of stuff and connections.I agree with the suggestions toward pre amp and DAC.  I also believe in system synergy where possible.  One suggestion to consider would be the... 
REL vs JL AUDIO
I have two nice systems, both with a pair of REL subs.The older pair are REL Carbon Limiteds, run with Longbow REL wireless.It works great.  The wireless allowed me to play with the sub's location until the boom went away.  I was stubborn about th... 
What's a real upgrade from LuminT2
I believe PS Audio has announced it's last update for the Directstream DAC.  I replaced my Direct Stream first wIth an Auralic Vega G2 which was better.  I then replaced this with the Mola Mola Tambaqui which was again better.  All are streaming D... 
What's a real upgrade from LuminT2
MM Tambaqui! 
questions for georgehifi and others about powering my Wilson Sasha2s
I would recommend listening to the Audionet MAX amps.I have not heard the m900u, but the MAX’s easily bested the JC-1’s and BHK 250 on BW 802N’s, Revel Salon 2’s and my current YG Haileys.

Hi OP,  Just last night my wife asked why is it so hard to hear the voices?I realized that we were listening through the Samsung TV and not our soundbar!While I have a fairly high end two channel system, it is in another room.I tried an inexpensiv... 
When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill?
Perhaps a kinder, middle of the 'road' idea here is that experience in listening goes a long way.  The obvious analogy is driving; recognizing potential issues with road conditions, turns, other drivers etc. goes a long way.  All of us benefit fro... 
New Bluesound Node vs Cambridge CXN v2 for High Res Streaming?
lalitk: Isn't the Node the same as the Vault except for the internal storage and CD ripper?  I mean the same streamer, DAC and op system?+1 on using an external DAC.  If the external DAC is decent, it may havea similar or better streamer as well.O... 
High End Portable Wireless/Bluetooth Speaker
Hello OP,  I have tried and owned a few.  For my bedroom, a Muso 2  2nd generation is amazing for its form factor.  At around $1600, that should be enough to spend on something like this. Easily bests the Bluesound Pulse, which is a bit easier to ... 
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
Hello Recluse,My Mola Mola Tambaqui has remote balance through their app.  Sometimes I sit off center and find it useful!  Ken 
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
An Auralic Vega G2 clearly bettered my PS Audio Direct Stream.My current Mola Mola Tambaqui clearly bettered the Auralic. 
Best sub for music,
REL.  two is better than one.
