Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs
@yyzsantabarbara ,I was just conversing via email with another Ayre KX-R owner. He and Mr. V. agreed that the Twenty update brought the KX-R to significantly higher level.FWIW,I own both the KX-R (non Twenty) and an Atma MP-1 3.3. I used to own th...

@tomic601 ,I asked Johnny, but he didn’t seem to think the 7’s would make a difference with my Treo’s.But, I may have misinterpreted him.Bob

I would look into Bluesound. The integrated DAC is good for the money, but you are able to output to a higher quality DAC should you want.It should be an upgrade to the Sonos and RoonBob

@georgehifi ,As I said before, I agree.I only posted this to get an idea of what is being done and the differences between the Zu resistor and the Spetz Autoformers in terms of how they are operating.I don't know a lot about such things, and wrote...

Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?
@tomic601 , Good point.I just saw a video of John Atkinson's equipment. Though I really don't follow his reviews, I have to say he seems to be the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGlg7HTPqso Bob 
DSP and stores - Anyone else get the feeling they might be sweetening?
