| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing You are clearly in a completely different pursuit than I am. | |
| Help me choose an Audio Research preamp/line stage (Please?) OP, Unfortunately the percentage thing does not work because we all have vastly different weighting mechanisms and values. But I can put it this way the SP9 was a notable upgrade from the 8, the Ref 2 notably better than the 9 (there was some ... | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @grislybutter Sorry you have been having so much trouble. I am not aware of any of my posts being deleted… well, except accidentally by myself. | |
| Besides Krell XD amps, who makes "smart home" friendly amp, IP control, Telenet, RS232? Very cool features. I must admit surprised it is added to any high end audio equipment. Normally the rule is as few features and functions as they tend to add to noise and slightly reduce reliability… and clear;y increase support costs. | |

| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections No Aurender does not produce wireless streamers. I would say my components are very well balanced. I tried a $22K DAC for several weeks… there were two small differences one positive and one negative. If I upgraded my other equipment it woul... | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated I would recommend you go to an audio store, even if travel is required and listen to an Audio Research I/50 or LS28/VSi 70. The contrast with your Luxman will be profound. It will also tell you something about what you should do. If you love the s... | |
| Aurender Users @blisshifi +1 Well put. If you use to use the tool (Conductor), there are ample ways to discover new music. | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier I too have used solid state amps for nearly four decades, staying away because of the same reasons you state. In retrospect I am sorry that I wasted so much time. My tube amps have autobiasing and slow warm ups to increase tube life. Although in r... | |
