Any one using 2 separate amps using a/b switch to same speakers?
One of the problems with a switch is that it can introduce an unwanted/additional sound artifact. Unless you are a dealer that needs to switch between different amps/speakers, it would be better if you just re-cable each amp separately.Probably no...

@dekay . That was a good one!🤣Bob 
Just sharing my excitement
Oohh, what finish did you select for the Quatro's?Seems like everyone is moving up to Quatro's, except me.😒Though I have to say my Treo's are a perfect fit in my room. I really don't have the extra 2-3 inches in depth for the Quatro's, so I will m... 
New speakers? No thanks.
Once I can sell my old 2w and 2wq subs, I am going for the new Sub 3's.I wish I had more room, but the Treo's are the perfect size.Bob

DAC recommendation with tube preamp
I use an Ayre Codex.-Definitely superior to the Node integrated DAC.B 
BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp
Though the integrated DAC in the Node is good for the price, I would output to a better DAC, if possible.So, yes, use the Oppo.B

Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake
@skyscraper,I wouldn't fault AQ, you made the mistake. They wouldn't stay in business correcting things for free.When my dog chewed up my new, uninstalled cables inside the box, I wouldn't have asked them to repair them under warranty.B 
Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions
@lowrider57 ,I, too, am streaming Quobuz to my Nodes. Until last August everything was fine, but since then I have issues with skipping or repeating tracks.I just found that some high rez tracks cause one of my Nodes to hang up or distort sound. B... 
newbie seeks advice
@kenmason,I, too, learned of high end stereo early, and had to give it up while I started my business, so I can commiserate.I hate to say it, but your equipment is pretty old, and technology has only gotten better. I second Adg's advice and go try...
