Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote?
@superelmar  I can only speak of the A-2.  It is open, airy,  detailed and has good bass control. But it does have a sweetness and is not overly dry or etched.  I say this with an all SS amp perspective.  My only adventure with tubes was with PS A... 
Help settle a streaming argument!
@niodari At the same time, I think the better is your system, in general, the less you will note the differences, although this may sound contradictory for some guys.   Yes this is contradictory to me.  The more resolving the system the easier ... 
Integrated for TAD ME1: Luxman, Accuphase or Soulnote?
It would be fun to hear all three together! I recently picked up the Soulnote A2 for my weekend home.  I think it sounds smooth and sweet!  I also heard A2, A3 and Soulnote separates that all sounded great at CAF.  A2 seems like the value spot!  ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@lalitk , When I got my Grimm I had already decided I liked the Muon Pro Filter System. With the Grimm, I tried it with and without the Muon.  The improvement was more subtle, yet I did hear an improvement with the Muon.  I think this acts simila... 
New Network Acoustics Tempus switch
You're welcome @astev1968.  The EtherRegen is an EZ upgrade (it was for me). It gets hot, is easy to sell and a variety of switch upgrades are available and  worthwhile.  I tried the Bonn 8 but meh.  The M12 was revealing.  then adding the JCAT p... 
New Network Acoustics Tempus switch
Helo @astev1968,   So far the Switch X is sounding very good. I feed both of my audio systems off of the 'clean side' of the SwitchX which is also a modem.  this 'clean side' also feeds Wifi X.  You need it to be able to control any app based se...

A Sonic Revelation: M101 LAN Cable Review
I also visited Lubomir and the M101 room.  He is super friendly and spent much time with me. Yes the difference between his ethernet cable vs standard LAN cable was easily appreciated and significant. He stated his good cable should be the last ca... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
There were at least two Grimm MU1's at CAF.  Bill w GTT showed his with the Makua Preamp with onboard Tambaqui DAC.  The amps were the new Percas, using two stereo amps in a vertically biwired configuration.  I did not find the Vivid Giyas bright.... 
New Network Acoustics Tempus switch
Hi @markush ,  will you be replacing another switch? I am a Network Acoustics fan and have two of their Muon Pro filter systems,  As far as a switch, I have gone from netgear(basic) to Bonn 8 (slightly better maybe) to JCAT M12 Gold (much better) ... 
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
Has anyone here heard the SoulNote integrateds, A2, A3?  They sounded nice at CAF.  
Audience Cables
HI @inna , I have not heard either of those.  I am sure there are plenty that are amazing.  I am trying not to find another one!  :) Ken  
Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023?
Yes +1 on the Gershman Avant Garde Speakers @vacountryboy!  I really liked them.  And I guess therefor I liked the Infigo amps!   
Audience Cables
Hello @inna !  Yes Elation are at another level.  But what is not fair is the way I can not ‘unhear’ things!  :).   They are so much better (to me).  I acquired my cables over time, many used.   The AU 24 SX were  easy to sell.  Not a huge differe...
