Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
  This discussion has been both VERY helpful and VERY confusing Sometimes the best answer is one that yields more questions.    Absolutely.    
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Hi, I have had the opportunity to listen to the Aurender A100 and A10. No doubt the A10 is better. I found a local dealer to audition the Innuos. Will be working on that. This discussion has been both VERY helpful and VERY confusing. I am becom... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Hi All, Thanks for the may suggestions.  For the next step (in an always ongoing process), I am looking to keep my Yggy DAC and -- for now -- only looking to upgrade the streamer.  Again, the budget is $3k-$6k.  I have heard the openness and real... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Hi, Thanks for all the suggestions.  I don't use ROON and I don't have any stored music files (or not many, and I never listen to them.)  I am strictly looking for a streamer.  I use Tidal, Qobuz and Idagio.  Looking to keep the budget in the 3-6 ...

Best streamer for a returning audio guy
Hi Another vote for Blue Sound node. But definitely upgrade the power cord. Made a stunning improvement. I have two of them. Started with just BS Node. Later added Yggy DAC to one.  I have Tidal and Qobuz. I listen to Qobuz more. Excellent HR sel... 
Speaker repair...is it easy?

About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
Thanks!  I get we all have our preferences and aesthetics. And none of us have heard every combination in every space. I’m well aware the VAs are not wow-sounding Focals etc., but I vastly prefer the look and natural sound. And I find the sound go... 
About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
Hi TheoWhere are you located?  They are in Philly at David Lewis Audio.  The Reference sound great at low and high volumes...but the Focals do have an added zing.  I just cannot live with the look of them.  And without the covers on, they don't lo... 
About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
Thanks all for the suggestions.  I failed to add that the aesthetics of the speaker is extremely important.  I can't live with Focals or Wilsons.  Or the VA Liszt or a few others.  They sit in a semi-formal living room.  And the VA Beethoven Grand...

Hi All Thanks for the suggestions. Sorry I didn't get back to you.  Just been overwhelmed.Theo and gregm,I've listened to the Focals -- several. And liked them.  The huge monitors are amazing. And several Wilsons (which I did not like -- too clini...
