| Help with speaker selection <$20k I really need to find some Salon 2's to listen to. I have read so many good things about them that it's hard to scratch them off the list without actual time with a pair. I will likely be buying used - but not necessarily depending on dealer, et... | |
| Help with speaker selection <$20k Wow, thank you for the outstanding reply! It seems my three options cover the range from pinpoint/analytic to warm and romantic. That's helpful since I've never heard the Revels and it's been a long time since I heard the Aerials. The space is ... | |
| Router for Audio Streaming Another TP-link mesh user and happy with it. | |
| Budget DAC recommendation for Office system I'll second the MyDac. I will likely be putting mine up for sale soon as I no longer have an office system so it's just resting in a box. It's a great unit and a fabulous bargain IMO. | |
| Ayre KX-5 preamp with V-3 amp I will echo the recommendation to upgrade your QB-9 to Twenty status. I had mine done over a year ago and it's a significant upgrade. I feed mine with a Lumin source and also have JC1 amps in the chain. It all works extremely well together. | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I really enjoy high end car audio and am able to get very good imaging/performance with my DSP by fine tuning the speaker delays and freq responses. I've spent quite a bit of time tuning it, but it's something that is a lot of fun. | |

| Integrated / speaker pairings in the $6-7K range I had fantastic results with Focal Dome sub/sat system and a Micromega AS-400 integrated. | |
| Which subwoofer? I've owned Velodyne, SVS and RBH subs - and now have a JL F112 V2. The JL is in a completely different league in my system. | |
| A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service Totally agree ebm. SkyFi is your place... | |
| Lumin or Aurender I chose Lumin, very happy with it. | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. There is a nice pair of Parasound JC1's listed for $4500. I've had mine for years and have no desire to upgrade. | |
| What is Happening? Is it possible you have some tubes that need to be replaced? | |
| Audioquest DBS System Mine just died after probably 5 years or so, easy replacement. |
