Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker
A short update:Boy, am I glad that I kept these things. The wife is still questioning their presence in the living room. But hey, these are a small footprint floorstander. She's comparing them to the diminutive Totem Arros we had for about a decad... 
Reasonably priced power protection?
I bought the Brickwall--two outlet unit. All is good. It integrated seamlessly. I don't hear anything but space. No hums, hisses, etc. Things were pretty much the same before it, but to have the protection and no audible junk coming through is all... 
Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker
Wow! Folks, I've never heard of Herbie's Gliders. The site has soooo much information. This could be just what I need. But I have to figure it out to see what suits my speakers best. I love this recommendation--if you cannot tell. :) 
Reasonably priced power protection?
Thanks folks! Those two were in my top two--believe it or not. I went with Brickwall today!I may "upgrade" to a Furman at some point, but for now the Brickwall product looks perfect!Thank you again! 
Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker
Thanks Lowrider!My wife thinks they are too big. I'm trying to see if she forgets about them. I think everything you say is dead on. I think they need even more break in too. 
Review: PSB Imagine T2 Speaker
Thanks Schubert!Here's a couple things that I have noticed.1. I have to keep the PSBs close to my back/rear wall on a daily basis. I can pull them out for more critical listening. This placement surely isn't ideal. But if I plug the lowest bass po... 
Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board?
@Roxy54I agree that Ebm response is not clear. I cannot tell if she/he is saying, "hey, you are cheaping out and not thinking about sound quality," or "don't overthink this whole thing, just get it because it inexpensive and going to be just fine ... 
Should I buy a phono-pre or Creek phono board?
Thanks everyone!I think that I should buy the Creek plugin. It has decent specs and I can pop it in for $200. I'm sure it's decent if not great for the money. I agree: why can't they pop these in for the $2k of the amp? I suppose this is the moder... 
Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound?
Thanks! I ordered one from Audio Advisor. 
Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions?
I've used Spotify Premium for months. I sometimes stream it to my Creek 5350se and Totem Arros via a Gramofon. I think the Gramofon has a decent/fair DAC. Spotify Premium streams at 320kbps. I tried Tidal's premium hifi feature today. I ended up c...

Oops! Sorry. 
Advice on New Integrated Amplifier
It was Naim separates--preamplfier and amp. Pretty pricey..somewhere north of $5/7k for both, maybe more. Very nice stuff. Something I missed with the Naim stuff that I get from my Creek. I received my Alps switch from Creek today. $150 and I'm go... 
Advice on New Integrated Amplifier
Timrhu,I would certainly consider selling you the Creek. It's in 8/10 condition. I can send you the information on the Alps switch that I bought from Creek. It should be here in Chicago (shipping from London) this week. It needs the switch install... 
Advice on New Integrated Amplifier
I think there is some confusion. I only demoed Naim equipment last week. I haven't had the chance to demo the Rogue Sphinx and Exposure. NAD is really not on my list, but I'd be willing to give it a listen.
