| Basic Questions There are a lot of questions there. If you want high quality two channel sound the best way to get there is through a completely different 2 channel system. AVRs do not create high quality sound… too much stuff in a box. If this is not the route ... | |
| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear I’m 70 now. My experience has been there is a pretty direct correlation between weight and sound quality, the heavier the better they sound… one that has not recently reversed. So, I have been enjoying the best system I have ever had, and the heav... | |
| Break In Failed I wouldn’t worry excessively. Most folks have speakers for a decade or more. I would just play them 24 x 7 at a volume that doesn’t bother anyone. Yes, muffling them, and running them out of phase can maybe reduce the breakin a little. Maybe I am... | |
| Where should I go from here with my digital front end? OP, I look forward to hearing your evaluation. | |
| My first tube integrated: which one to get? First, I think what you are thinking is a very good idea. I took me some forty plus years to finally get a tube amp. I, so wish I had done it decades ago. I first got a tubed preamp about 30 years ago, then tubed preamp, tubed CD player, and fina... | |

| Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality? @audioguy85 Very funny…🤣. | |
| Aurender to Roon Core? @lalitk +1 If I wanted to produce the best streamers possible I would not consider letting anyone in. I would want to control every aspect. It is not a negative that Roon isn’t supported, as far as I am concerned it is a positive. Aurender is n... | |
| Power conditions for Integrated Amps @lak +1 Try both options. That is the only approach that makes any sense. | |

| Philosophy of Audiophile Aesthetics @lukemaximus, thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps @vuch +1 Partner doesn’t care about my system… it is my thing… but she instantly liked tubes when I put them in my system (women typically have much better hearing than males and are very sensitive to high frequency distortion). Once I move... | |
| Aurender Star Feature (removing stars) Thanks. I don’t often use stars, I would not have thought of that. I tried a number of things. | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? @holmz 👍 | |
| Philosophy of Audiophile Aesthetics Ok, first, @lukemaximus thank you for bringing this to my attention. Wow. I was only able to get through a few pages… I will have to set aside a little time. Wow. This is a topic of a article in a philosophical journal? I was captivated by philos... |
