| My new review for The Absolute Sound comparing AGD GAN amps with BHK300’s I enjoyed your review. Thank you! | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? 1972 fall: Sansui 2000x driving large Advents, via a Dual 1215S and Shure M91E. Satisfying for 6 months before I began to rapidly upgrade, shocking myself at each improvement. First improvement was adding a second pai of Advents to stack, sold to ... | |
| Streamer only I will also give a shoutout to the Bluesound Node. I find the Aurender finicky when power is lost or the internet goes down and up. It sometimes requires multiple rebooting and needs to restore itself. This can result in a 20 minute or so delay in... | |
| Streamer only @benanders , my laptop is about 5 years old, I bought it specifically to drive my Schiit Yggdrasil as it used SSD instead of a disk drive and I used it solely with battery power. I was stunned by the increase in low level information, especially a... | |

| Streamer only Aurender N100H are available used for $1200 or so on this site and others. My own ears provide “anecdotal “ evidence of a profound increase in sound quality above using my Mac laptop as a streamer. The difference is stark. I would recommend this a... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System I’m there with a modest system. Don’t have the bass extension, but what’s there sounds very real. Excellent room helps. Believe it or not, my stereo rack (2 inch oak shelves, each layer isolated, stillpoints under critical gear) with associated vi... | |
| Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review As someone who’s first TAS issue was #4, I am also frustrated by the extremely variable quality of their reviews. Some of the most profound things that a few of their newer reviewers will say is “it made my toe tap.” Ok, at least you didn’t go run... | |
| Kind of Blue The Rudy Van Gelder remasters on Blue Note were an indication to me that digital had hope. These are all great! I’ve now crossed almost entirely to the Dark Side… | |
| The Music Room +1 for another happy TMR customer here also | |
| Upgrades and repairs on hi fi components The late Brent Mullin of HiFi Heaven was really great, too. A terrible loss of superb talent and knowledge in the last few years! I knew several of these guys and miss them. Happy to see bigkidz in the game! | |
| 15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume I have ATC SCM40’s in an arrangement not totally different from what you have, including a large reflective coffee table in front of my sofa. The key aspect of the ATC’s is that they are very essy to place in rooms to get optimal imaging. They do ... | |
| What do you like to see included in a manufacturer's website? Pricing! Anyone else tired of chasing down reviews to get an idea as to whether a product is remotely affordable? | |
| 12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate I too am shocked at the differences between rectifiers, including differences between direct-heated and indirect heated rectifiers. Fun to roll in my Woo headphone amplifier. BTW, this is the first I am hearing of Bill Thalmann’s death. I met ... |
