Krell DUO 300XD and REL SUB wiring question.
Hi @mikepaul ,  REL has nice little videos on this.  Definitely use the high level inputs with the Speakon connection at the sub end. Tap off of the speaker outputs on your amp as shown.  I have two subs, and use red to positive and black to negat... 
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
Ooh those Acoustic Zen's are pretty!  Never heard them.  I suppose with speakers it is what you find within a reasonable distance.  Although I did manage to finagle a 'weekend trip to Nashville ( from Baltimore) to pick up my Salon 2's!  
Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
Hi @mikhailark , On my speaker buying adventure a few years ago I heard both the D48 and the K6 from Proac.  Very nice.  Bottom ports I believe so bass was impressive and highs silky smooth.  I had Vandersteen Sig3a's years ago and they did not do... 
Aurender AP20 Impressions
Great discussion.  Thanks all.  While I have substantioal investment in my main system, I have a vacation home in Western Maryland with a much more modest system.  I recently reworked it with a Soulnote integrated A2 amplifier, and an all in one d...

Would I benefit with Roon?
Hello @adeep42, Agreeing with most here that Roon is great.  I too bought lifetime years ago, and through optimizing my digital front end it sounds amazing.  Play your music and when it ends, Roon is very slick at playing similar music; this is h... 
Racks, equipment and footers
I love my beautiful Timbernation rack and amp stands. Components all have springs or Isoacoustics under them  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
Hi @macdude !  Interesting.  But I do feed house Verizon TV and Mesh Wifi off of the Verizon Modem and then also feed my audio switches and separate modem and wifi just for audio (Clean Network through GTT DeJitterit).  Thanks!  
Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers
Good info @jpipes .  The only McIntosh piece I have had in my home was the C2700 preamp, and I found it veiled.  I will keep a more open mind about their amps!  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@macdude this is EXACTLY what I did.  Except I got Verizon to send me a new wall wart since mine was 'defective'!  So I have a very new and nice Kubala Sosna DC cable with an existing Verizon plug on the end!  It sounds amazing being powered from ...

Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
good stuff @yyzsantabarbara ! Thanks. What do you know of the new products by Master Fidelity, the Nadac D and Nadac C?  Reviews are over the top.  
Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers
Hello @jpipes , so many choices and opinions!  While never with your speakers, I have owned and quickly sold BHK 300’s which were noisy and dull.  I have owned and sold Parasound JC1+ monos, which were also lacking on sparkle.  I have demo’d the L... 
Aurender N20 upsampling with tambaqui
@saurabhgarg Hello! I have a Tambaqui with the Grimm MU1.  This match allows the Grimm to upsample to the Tambaqui using AES.  It is my understanding that if you use USB, you bypass the streamers upsampling and allow the DAC to do it, if it does.... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
Hi @davetheoilguy , I have a Tambaqui and have use it with Network, USB and AES inputs.  All work well.  Some streamers are optimized one way or the other.  For me, AES works best with my Grimm MU1 streamer and is a match made in Audiophile Heaven.
