Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
There do not seem to be any "Reviewers" willing to do a proper comparison between top streamers from various companies. I have been asking myself why for 5 years now. Or did I miss the  last word review someone wrote comparing Aurendar, Innuos,... 
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
It is one of those absurd questions that garnered 160 responses. The purpose of any query is to elicit responses. Absurd you say! I am moving across the country this month and hope to organize another Society out on the Kitsap Peninsula. If I s... 
How do you measure your listening space?
Listening "Volume" would be a more precise way for rooms to be compared. Small speakers may seem lost in your space.  What do you have now?  
My terrible Customer Journey with the Line Magnetic LM-503PA Mono Vacuum Tube Amps
Contrast that with my most recent experience with Pass Labs in Auburn, CA. Kent English, mgr. I sent my INT25 to Auburn CA 12/01/22. It was repaired under warranty and returned to me freight paid-in a new box- 3 weeks later.  I am not buying a...

Speakers that are good with tubes
Tubes and horns are lovely together. Do buy the Speakers first so you are  not painted into a corner.  
Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound”
The McIntosh sound that I enjoy is not Solid State but Tube. The Mc30 or 60 monoblocks would be my go to. But alas McIntosh is not something I covet thank goodness. I have enough of those already.  
Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack
You guys are making me feel pretty good. I just bought some SolidSteel racks yesterday through US AudioMart. Used. $350 for two  identical units. Now the freight was hefty- Added another $200. The website for this Italian company is designed ... 
How long did you have to wait for Primaluna to deliver
+1 to CB  
(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio
You have spent more than enough to achieve great sound. Before wasting anymore $ on gear, work the room around via GIK or trying other setup orientations in the room.   Read what Bob Katz says about Audio Veros Acourate digital room and loudsp... 
Dac Upgrade
If you can make heads or tails of the above you should go into  code breaking! The Holo May DACs are current favorite. There are many great DACs available. Buy one and see how it goes!  
Integrated amp recommendations for Harbeth 30.1
Almost forgot the room suggestion. Try a placement, humor me, in which  your gear is in a corner facing the diagonal corner across the room. Then place the speakers flanking the gear 2-3' out from the walls split apart  by 8'. Place your list...
