| DAC question - is music streamer DAC better than mcintosh DA2? I have had my MA12000 for 3 yrs now. My first dip into audio was the 70s/80s, hence always leaned towards separates. I went to several listening sessions of different amps/preamps and a few integrates before my purchase. One session I had the ch... | |

| Digital Path to Complete my System I am a little bit into the weeds here... My digital knowledge/background is - how do you say ...less than zero. Speak to me as you "would a young child ...or a Golden Retriever". Digital path...ethernet - streamer - Dac/clock - to my preamp...is t... | |
| Digital Path to Complete my System Wow...ok...after reading the reviews....the Grimm MU2 would be an end game to my digital side. Anyone have this in their system that can provide pros/cons or likes/dislike. Anyone listen to a side to side comparison to Aurenders top system? In on... | |

| Where to go next with the turntable TT have so many variables that need to work together for optimal...personally listening taste = chassis, feet, platter, motor, tonearm shape/design/material, unpivot/gimbal, too many to name for cartridges. A slight change in any part of the chain... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k I have owned my McIntosh MA12000 almost 2 yrs now (also have a Hegel in my den). Listen to and auditioned several others in the same price point. The MA12000 is my last - and will be passed on to my kids. It was a financial stretch for me personal... | |

| TT Arm-base Unipivot vs Gimbal-base Designs... Both designs seem to be made in more/less equal numbers....and on all levels/price-ranges of TTs...so no real advantages on either? Taking in to account a "synergy" approach of arm, base, cartridge then both gimbal & unipivot design can perfo... | |
