| NAD M33 Initial Thoughts @sockiojimbo @spacemanrick Tidal, Qobuz and Spotify (as well as another 20 streaming services) can be run directly from the BluOS app. So no need to use Tidal Connect or similar functionality. I have used the Bluesound Node 2i for a long time, st... | |
| NAD M33 Initial Thoughts Thanks for the feedback, especially about break-in time. I will run it constantly and see what happens. And to be clear, it does sound really good but rather, just a different presentation at this point to what I am used to. | |
| SST Son of Ampzilla ll power amp vs Classe Sigma Amp2 power amp I am using the Son II with my Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers and a tube preamp. Curious what is prompting the desire to change as you say you have been happy with the Classe amplification. Is there something you are trying to achieve that is missing?... | |
| What power amp or integrated amp are you using with your Harbeth speakers Driving my Super HL5+ with the SST Son of Ampzilla and use a tube preamp. | |
| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? Using the SST Son of Ampzilla II with mine - 220W. LTA Microzotl MZ2 tube preamp. Tried the Benchmark ABH2 as well, didn't think it was underpowered at all at 100W (and I have a big room), but didn't like the sound as much. | |
| Volume Settings/Control - DAC vs Preamp? Thanks everyone, very helpful answers.I had the source volume low and the preamp high. Will adjust accordingly and listen for differences. | |

| Static-like Sound from Tweeter? Well - very interesting. It is the Benchmark DAC. I even switched coax cables to be sure it was not the cable. That surprises me given all the other things it could have been. Guess i will have them take a look at it. | |
| Static-like Sound from Tweeter? Okay - it moves to the other speaker when I reverse channels at the source and I switched interconnects and it still did it so not the cables. Upstream I have an Olive Music Server connected coax to a Benchmark DAC that then goes straight into the... | |
| Static-like Sound from Tweeter? No tubes in circuit right now Thorman. | |

| Noob jumper questions... 1. Yes2. Yes3. Probably, and it's cheap to do the test and find out for yourself. | |
| good listening/bad listening My system sounds better at night when the lights are just right. It doesn't sound as good when bright sunlight is coming thru the windows. My wife and I both agree on this phenomenom. We know it's not "true" but it's real to us. This is why I susp... | |
