| Hearing aid suggestions I have had a fair amount of experience with this, unfortunately. I have had Oticon and now Widex. Make sure you check with you health insurance provider to see if you have a hearing aid benefit. I usually spend for the middle of the road models as... | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with After owning some Mcintosh products, talking to support and having a short conversation with a rep at a store demo. I'm not sure if I will ever purchase any of their gear again. | |
| Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with +1 for Rogue. I only have experience with their RP-1 pre But I like it. It does not have XLR but it performs as well when I used my DAC/pre with XLR. Good outfit to work with, but you will have to determine if you want to try their amplification. ... | |

I ran a PS Audio S300 (ICEpower) for years pushing Focal 926. But during that stint I rolled in a pair of Quad s-5. I had them for several months. They image beaut... | |
| Benchmark / Anthem / Rogue +1 on the RP-1 and Mullards from Andy. It's what I run and been very happy with the setup. I originally had the PS Audio Stellar 300 as the amp (tube class D combo). Got a good deal on a Quad Artera A/B and swapped to that just to try. Quad/RP... | |
| Better to buy a high end network player with a DAC? I don't know if there is an advantage to an onboard DAC but they build them cause people want them. Some peeps just dont want to mess with another external piece. Not all great players come with a DAC. I think the Bryston BDP series is an examp... | |
| Integrated Amp Choices Not trying to drive you away from integrated but this would make a tidy setup if you are open to class D. Budgets little over $5k. They take trade in for current models and have a in home demo program. Excellent support as well. I ran one of their... | |

| Integrated Amp Choices Rogue Audio Pharaoh might be worth a look. Class D (Hypex) and Tube hybrid from a company with a good reputation and reasonable pricing. But lacks onboard DAC I do believe. But could add external with money saved then pick up the flex to upgrade i... | |
| Bryston BDA 3.14 versus alternatives I have the Bryston BDP Pi. MM is certainly flaky. But the Pi makes a great Roon endpoint. One option could be to invest in a SGC ST to run a Roon Core then use a Bryston Product as an endpoint. You could pick up a used Bryston BDP 2 as the endp... | |
