Sharing a subwoofer between a Stereo and HT combination.
I kind of live in the same world as you do. Started with a Marantz sr5015, added a MM7025 amplifier for the left and right to improve SQ. That was a good move until I got a INNUOS pulse mini. That was a nice upgrade from the HEOS streaming app on ... 
DAC upgrade
I sure hope you get the same reaction I got when I upgraded my streamer. Hope you don’t have the problem I experienced, where I was so impressed, that I went from a Innuos pulse mini to the pulse. Good on you for starting out on a good product lik... 
DAC upgrade
a wise person on this forum a week or so back said . When it comes to souping up the node. You can put Formula One tires on a Camaro. It’s still doesn’t make it a Ferrari.

Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
I would like to ask, are you more concerned with ease of the application or sound quality? If application is your main concern, then you’re done. No need to have any further discussions. But if sound quality is the main concern, one is going to ha...

@j_andrews  you are correct about the unavailability of the Pulse mini. Two weeks ago, I traded mine in for the Pulse. Called up my dealer if he still had it, and he laughed and said yeah, no. sorry about my incredulous assumptions. I went from Ma...

I suspect that there should be quite a few used Innuoss  pulse mini available Because if you were impressed as I was, you saved up and just got the PULSE and traded in the mini.   
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
a linear power supply (teddy pardo)is different from a audioquest power conditioner. They do two completely different things. Did your dealer, let you take home the rose to demo? I asked this because usually when you go from $1000 product to a $40... 
Addpowr coherence sale.
@jzzmusician I was able to get the coupon code by asking Bill directly for one while I was on the phone filling out the form online and talking to him on the phone at the same time. I don’t believe it’s online, I do believe he sent it out in an em... 
McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car.
if you walk around the new Wagoneer, you will not see any Jeep badging whatsoever. So, technically, it is not a Jeep . The same as when Dodge changed the brand of their trucks to Ram 🐏. Pretty sure Jeep is using the same playbook, so many marketin...

Musical subwoofer under $2000
That is a pretty nice system you have there I, for the life of me cannot understand why you wouldn’t save a few more pennies and get the REL S510. Why go around, hoping that you will be happy instead of knowing you will be happy. Good luck in your...
