| 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. | |

| Audioquest DBS System Mine just died after probably 5 years or so, easy replacement. | |
| Need a preamp, new or used. I have very similar musical tastes and also use Parasound amplification (JC1's) with AQ cabling and have been really happy with my Levinson 326 preamp.The rest of my system includes a Lumin streamer, Ayre QB-9 Twenty DAC, Aerial 10T's and a JL F11... | |
| Is the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge or Lumin D2 good buys in 2021? Another vote for Lumin. I'm using their U1 Mini to my Ayre QB-9 and thrilled with the combo. | |
| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? I've had nothing but great experiences selling here. | |
