Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible!
I can understand the frustration.My N100 did the same thing after an 'upgrade'. I had to send it back for diagnosis- one of the drives was corrupted. I cost $180, but it works.I haven't done the upgrade yet, so I don't know if it is the culprit, b...

Amp Section for New Pair of Magenpan 3.7i
AR and Primaluna are pretty good quality. The question is:What will be the best fit for the Maggies?My suggestion is to PM John Rutan (Audioconnection is his Agon tag).He sells Maggies and knows what works with them. And, despite being a dealer, h... 
Yggdrasil - what next?

Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014???
I swear by Vandersteen.In fact, I will be upgrading to the new Sub 3's soon.After owning both the 2w and 2wq (not V2), I can honestly state they are one of the best subs out there when combined with the external crossover. They are also built like... 
Townshend Audio Podiums - current owners opinion on the merits of this product
I bought the Podiums for my speakers, but, alas, the outriggers made them unusable (-think limited space).So, with the blessing of Townshend, I put them under my preamp. There was a definite improvement in clarity-noticeable immediately.I have a s...
