Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster?
Interesting topic. I just had my Ayre QB9 upgraded to a Twenty. I bought my QB9 after it was first introduced in 2010 and that was a big deal back then. I find the premise of the 432 EVO Master intriguing but I’m not in the market at 11,000 Euros.... 
How do you all manage mild hearing loss?
I have slight hearing loss and tinnitus in my left ear. I have my Quad ESL’s at equal distance and separation from where I sit but I’ll turn some to the left if needed. Based on the same principle as shooting photo with a fixed camera lens, I move...

A warm DAC?

Thoren's TP 16 MK 1
roberjerman, I was told by a Jelco dealer that Jelco is out of business and was told me about the Sorane as an alternative. Anyway, I was sort of thinking that I shouldn't bother with the TP 16 modification. The cartridge I'm currently using is an...

Can I Rid Myself Of iTunes?
bjesien, I just received my QB9 Twenty on Wednesday so it still has some burn in time. So far however it sounds more open, more natural. The ability for it to dig in deeper and reveal detail is considerable. The balance and separation have noticea...

Can I Rid Myself Of iTunes?
kijanki, it's ACC for certain. Those cd's are gone for good. I'll look into XLD. lactic, I will look Blue vault 2 but I have a DAC so I'd have to see using it the way you described.

Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
Anybody know something about Hana’s mono cartridge? I’m somewhat considering replacing my AT33 Mono Anniversary. 
Phono Cartridge for $1,000.
If I'm not mistaken, the Clearaudio cartridges are made by Audio Technica. Whether or not the Clearaudio cartridges are better than the AT, I don't know. 
HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC
 That’s a relief. I remember when I first downloaded a DSD file to my hard drive. That was a learning experience and then Audirvana hosted my DSD files. However, I don’t believe Audirvana will transport HDCD. 
TOSLINK OPTICAL cables
I bought a Glass brand toslink cable, which cost very little by comparison to the big audiophile names and there was a significant improvement. I didn’t want to spend a lot because it just runs between my tv and sound bar but the difference was so...
