| Help with Aurender/Qobuz playlist @ghdprentice Ha! Found it. There’s another tab for playlist on the bottom left. Don’t know what the difference is from the playlist tab at the top…Not very intuitive if you ask me. | |
| Levinson 380S vs Boulder 810 I appreciate the responses. I’m a big fan of ARC tube gear (and tube gear in general) having owned the VT100 back in the day (love that amp) Unfortunately my current living situation cannot accommodate a tube rig. At best, a tube pre is possible a... | |
| Mark levinson 532h and 531h Ever noticed that big Jay still has the 532H in his rig? I’m assuming it’s powering his home theater nevertheless it’s interesting that of all the amps he’s burned through, he’s kept the 532H around. | |

| Terminator II or Rockna Wavedream Edition (non signature version) which one to buy and why Just an FYI for the OP and Denafrips owners who may not already be aware of this- I’ve found that utilizing the USB output is an absolute must.

| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range @vthokie83 I too just made the switch over from coax to USB on my Terminator. I can concur with your findings, I’m temporarily using a cheapo $10 Amazon USB cable and it’s besting a very good Cardas Clear digital coax. It’s a bit of an eye opene... | |

| Has Anyone Tried Nobsound Springs Or Other Isolation Devices Below REL Subwoofers?

I do occasionally check out his vids, he comes off as a likable dude but I think his reviews are 100% full of shyte, as are the vast majority of these HiFi YouTubers 🙄 The only channels I actually look forward to are Big Jay and OCD Mikey…Audiophi... | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Ref 3A Royal Virtuoso with Corian cabinets are 55lb mini tanks! Factor in the sand filled Monolith stands and we are at 100+ lbs. | |
| Advice from Audiogon family - best speaker $3k-$4k ProAc is a serious contender. When I went from Sonus Faber to ProAc (monitors) I never looked back. They are extremely dynamic, big soundstage, punchy, completely non-fatiguing, smooth. a DT8 will knock your socks off…good luck on your hunt! | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? @decooney So are you using Cardas or AP for speaker cables? |
