| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Victory at Sea - dramatic 1917 - haunting To Live and Die in LA - simply a blast Out of Africa- romantic, pensive | |
| No love for Legacy Audio Have Signature SE's in an open floor plan but the main listening area is 22 x 15 x 9 or so. They were my favorites among a selection of speakers costing more than two times as much. I needed a speaker that could be very near a rear wall so ported ... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? Lumin D2 was a disaster for me. Played Tunein but not Tidal.

| Bluesound Node 2i Question Ah, the mysteries of set up: tried a Lumin D2 and it never worked with Tidal (copious dropouts with either ethernet or WiFi) but Node 2i was up and running in less than 5 minutes. Interface is far superior to Lumin, which had no support available.... | |
| Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC Recently compared (2/27/2020) the Node 2i versus the RME ADI-2 dac. The AB tests with volume matched showed a surprisingly small advantage to the RME. The issue then was why triple the purchase cost for a small gain. If you are not locked in to ... |
