Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
We never buy a home with fewer bedrooms than we have beds. So, if you have three beds, you buy a four bedroom home...   OP, what in your system is staying and what are you willing to part with to achieve excellent sound? I've mentioned the Audio... 
Subwoofer for Raidho XT-1 sadly buried in a console built in?
Look into the Rel Airship wireless steup. Whichever subs you end up choosing, the Airship will make them wireless while also capturing the characteristics of your amplifier. Placement then becomes a breeze. I see in the other thread you’ve selecte... 
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
@roxy54    I'm not so sure, there are a couple of data points in the OP's dialogue that deserve mention. (1) His wife obviously has exceptional hearing if she expelled from her home and summarily banished a pair of B&W's and, (2) She agree... 
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
@blisshifi Indeed...you give/gave wise advice.   I had a similar situation for a room and tried almost everything. I ended up with the Audio Note K SPX (the OP should probably consider the SPE for cost) driven by SHindo electronics. The K is so ...

Duette's wont work in a shelving/cabinet unit. They work fine close to wall but no way in a cabinet.  
Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf (Sad)
@mduffy18d  @blisshifi is giving you proper advice. We have a tv room with a similar shelving handicap. I tried Harbeth, Wilson Tunetots, etc, etc. Rear ports are out. Just forget about them, even the tunetots. The best arrangement I found was wi... 
MoFi controversy
I was told once by a legend in the recording/record business that the "art" of recording and mic placement is different if recording in analog vs recording in digital. I've also been told that editing in DSD is a pain...doesn't much matter to me. ... 
MoFi controversy
I’ve been watching all the outrage from the different sides…but if the recording was pleasing to someone “before” they knew about Mofi’s full process, it should still be pleasing now.   To those who were buying because they thought it a wise inv... 
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
LOL...ahhhh, Tampa in the summer.    Get an Isolation transformer, an upper end Shunyata conditioner or a PSAudio Regenerator like a PP15 or PP20 (adds to the noisefloor of really good AC...but you don't have really good AC). What is your noise ... 
Meitner MA3 amp/integrated suggestions
hi @juanmanuelfangioii    Hope you are well...crazy racing this weekend huh?     @ghasley Have you looked at tube prices these days? I guess it all depends on what some may find affordable vs what they don't...el84's are "affordable" and... 
Meitner MA3 amp/integrated suggestions
@kray    The MA3 is a terrific dac/steamer and the Oliver Sayes amps are heirloom quality. I bet it sounds terrific.   Maybe consider one of the lower power Luxman Class A integrated amplifers. Why not consider a tube amp with tubes that are e... 
My Experience With Tekton
@seamaster300m    I have no opinion to share or offer on Tekton. They fill a need and many who have them are happy. That's terrific. Your comments about Tone Imports, however, are unfortunate.   They have brought to our shores a great many pro... 
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@kennyc    Indeed, their main board supplier.  
Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?
Maybe not in mass quantities nor from the website….he hand builds them five at a time. Parts supplies are very limited.  
Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable?
The Ether Regen is a superb switch with a single, really clean 100mbps ethernet port. It does a fine job. Think of doing nothing as being in neutral for your car’s transmission. The Ether Regen is first gear. Adding a Network Acoustics Eno filter ...
