Previous Ownership...does it matter to you?
I prefer buying gear from the original owner but it’s not a dealbreaker. I’ve seen 1 owner gear that looked atrocious and other pieces that were in perfect condition and had several owners. 🤷‍♂️  
Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures
@dill  Yes, Audiomart! I remember eagerly waiting every issue.   
Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume
Reference 3A’s with beryllium tweeter or ProAc Response D2. For a truly blissful experience add a REL Carbon Special.   
Now that High Fidelity Cables is no longer, what cables are you upgrading to?
I’m constantly on the lookout for Virtual Dynamics cables. Over the past coupe years I’ve been able to acquire David Series 2.0 pc’s for all my components, Master series pc for my amp and Master Series speakers cables. They are really fantastic an... 
Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube!
Makes my head explode when I read YouTube comments claiming to hear the subtle nuances in soundstage depth and midrange texture or the clearly discernible difference between cable A & B. It must be awesome to have the hearing capabilities of a... 
Qobuz hell
Personally I find Qobuz superior Tidal, Apple and Amazon. Never a problem with the service and it integrates quite well with Aurender.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Sorry man, you lost me at “Steve Huff”.  
Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound?

What is the most important cable in your system

Aurender N10 display issue
@voodoolounge  True. However TMR made no excuses and were extremely responsive to the issue.   Thankfully, it all worked out perfectly. Worst case scenario, I would have returned it at no additional expense.  
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
There’s a minty looking Krell KSA 200 on Audiomart @ $2100  
New DAC or New Streamer?
I’ve learned not to underestimate the value of a really good streamer. I started with a Node 2i then worked my way up to an Aurender n100sc and now a Aurender n10. Each jump was an significant improvement over the last. Not to mention that Aurende... 
Aurender N10 display issue
Team Aurender is absolutely incredible! They diagnosed and fixed the issue remotely. No questions asked, just awesome. I’m elated to say the least. TMR was equally supportive, great people to deal with. Customer support like this is the gold stand... 
Aurender N10 display issue
@curiousjim No Sir. It was from TMR, in like new condition, pretty much flawless (cosmetically at least). They have been very responsive, I’m waiting on Aurender to give me an idea on what the issue is then I’ll take it from there. Meanwhile I’v...
