| Jaw Dropping Improvement? Gotta toot my MHDT Orchid. Tubed. Subtle change from a Wyred DAC. But hey better, not jaw dropping vs Node. Both take Node to a different level though for me. | |

| Step me up from Paradigm Studio 20 v4 bookshelf, seriously. @builder3 "jbmac, I’d keep an eye on eBay for S2’s, they pop up somewhat regularly. The J29 stands also show up from time to time, around $250, give or take. They’re great."On my radar. Missed a very nice pair of v3 on US Audiomart in Sept as they... | |

A fireplace occupies the adjacent corner and there is not enough room to put system on the wall between. Room is about 13 by 17. Sytem and fireplace are on 13 foot wall.I am ... |
