| Qobuz sound quality intermittent issues? I reboot everything on the digital side of my system regularly, meaning about once a week. Never experienced your Qobuz issue though. | |
| Sad News-- Nancy Griffith Has Passed This is sad news as she has always been a favorite of mine. I really liked the duets she did with the likes of John Prine and Arlo Guthrie. | |
| What Does Ayre Sound Like? Ayre is neutral to the slightly warm side of neutral. Easy to live with. Does most things well. Had the K-5xeMP pre and VX-5 twenty amp, and still using their Codex DAC and phono preamp. Very reliable equipment and great customer service. Wel... | |
| What's your dream speaker? Sound Lab electrostatics. I finally have an amp that can drive them. | |
| The best $99 system upgrade ever! I'm afraid of what my system might sound like if I remove ear wax :) | |

| Tubes for Magnepan’s. OP:What are you currently using to drive your modded maggies? What are you hoping to improve with tubes? I have used both solid state and tubes with mine. | |

| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. Slaw, I agree with you. Let the music make the statement. Nothing turns me off more than a political rant at a music concert. Remember the Fish cheer? It was a good one! | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. @bdp24 If you wake up in the morning and you are warmer than room temperature then it's a good sign :) Please stick around, I enjoy reading your posts! | |

| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? I realize that I was asking about tube amps and am still interested in them but I had an opportunity to pick up a Pass X350.5 and pulled the trigger. I am waiting for it to arrive and will report back my impressions. | |
| SONGS THAT INSPIRE (Name songs that inspire) Eric Clapton / Steve Winwood "Presence of the Lord" | |
| Ayre K-5xeMP vs. Electrocompaniet - EC 4.8 MK II, or others? Get the Ayre. It's a great preamp and very reliable. | |
| advice on speaker matching, selection As an afterthought, if you really like the M&K's but just want to boost the low end why not consider a Schiit Loki+ for $150. It's a basic equalizer and may be the least expensive way to tailor the sound to your liking. |
