Best Server To Run Roon Core
@alephresearch   I just removed a MacMini M1 and replaced it with a Nucleus as a test to see if the hype is real. I am here to tell you, IT IS REAL. The nucleus was literally like I lifted a curtain..And I have a gigafoil working "isolate" the s... 
Higher End DACs
I know this is an older thread...But for anyone reading through it, as I did, @djones51 is categorically incorrect on ever single front.   
Puritan PSM156
@merlin66    Your weak spot is your equipment trust me it's not the Puritan. Rotel is glorified Onkyo.  I can say without a doubt after auditioning, A/Bing Shunyata, AQ etc the Puritan makes an audible difference that none of the others did. I ... 
Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7
I have an Ia4 and an A21 SE...Firehazard my a**. no idea where the above poster came up with that. I sense some favoritism of Ayre, which I like. It's a much dryer sound than Sugden though. Sugden is lush, truthful, detailed spacious and airy. All... 
Any one has experience with Sugden Integrated?
Love my A21SE, having used it for several months now and can say this amp is the best value (and probably best sounding) amp I have ever owned. I've been an Audiophile on and off for well over 20 years and heard alot of memorable pieces and this o... 
MSB vs dCS Bartok
MSB is interconnect sensitive and impedance sensitive. Look to your amp and pre amp. Make sure you run the MSB as a preamp in any troubleshooting before you cast final judgement on the sound of the dac.  
VTL Service ??
And even 2021 VTL has the worst Customer service..Some things never change. I own a IT 85 which I enjoy the sound of had a question and got nothing but agida from the conversation with Bea..She is literally a mental midget. They truly do not under... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
I have the ENO for a few days now and nothing but dropped signals. No thanks. Thankfully they let you audition it.  
DAC for Bricasti Design M5 Network Player
@emergingsoul TT2 is a cold analytical DAC. Good resolution but I got seriously bored with that DAC after about 2 weeks.  
Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS
Accurate= note musical 
Bricasti M3 vs. Holo Audio May vs. PS Audio DS
@hgeifman You considered the MSB which is twice the cost of what you bought? I can assure you have listened to both the MSB is twice as good as the M3...Unless you prefer bright sounding gear.  
Tellurium Q Black Diamond cables
Yeah I am staying with the TQ BD for the Heritage. Considering the SD quite honestly but I'd have to try them first.  
Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot
@twoleftears I bet..I heard the Spendors, they're wonderful if not a little hard to drive. I probably should give them a listen if it's no sweat off my back for an in-home audition.   
Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot
@erik_squires I agree on the TT resale, not the Dyns, they tend to hold better, especially those models in short supply like the HS. Resale isnt driving my decision, it's truly the sound, but some of the lesser known names drop in value and are ha...

You are a know troll on these forums...Your reputation precedes you. Take it elsewhere man, no one in interested. With the exception of you.
