Open Baffle Experience
OP. As I sit here listening to my recently acquired Spatial M3TM's. I will tell you that they are different. I can see where they might be a completely wrong choice for some. In my space, with my rig they are magic! I will comment on two major im... 
Amplifier recommendation
+1 For Aric Audio. His Components are top notch. As a person he is one hell of a great guy. Just an absolute positive experience from the beginning with him, and the music. It just comes from nowhere with a very neutral (in my opinion) presentatio... 
Should I add a DDC? Looking for experienced advise please.
@yyzsantabarbara  Ok. I have a cheap computer. Its called a Zen mini MKiii by Innuos. Its designed to handle music and that's it. It cost $1000 with external Innuos power supply. I don't use Roon as I can't justify the cost. The Innuos sense 2.0 a...

@yyzsantabarbara Got it! I dont use a computer for anything other than to control my Innuos (yes I know the Innuos is a computer). You have way too many things in your chain for me. Thats why I am trying to figure out if adding one more piece is w...

@yyzsantabarbara WOW! Is this the guy that writes Kamala's que cards? That's what I would call a de constructed word salad there!   
Should I add a DDC? Looking for experienced advise please.
@jjss49 That's where I'm at and not positive of what approach to take or if its even necessary. Do I add something at the ethernet/ZEN junction, or between the ZEN and Pontus and convert to I2s? Where would I see the most benefit if at all? I'm n... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Running the LinLia E-6SN7's in my Aric Audio 6SN7 line stage. Feeding my Aric Audio Super KT88 120SE, the one pictured on his website! I will be buying a second set for the amp. I have accumulated a very good selection of NOS 6SN7 tubes. The LinL... 
Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think.
Thank you for the input! I found a Zen mini MKiii with LPS this weekend locally. Paid about .40 on the $1.00 and couldn't be happier. Took me maybe 10 minutes and I was playing from my Tidal library, even ripped a few CD's! Very surprised at the...

@danager Thanks for the link. So you have to down load 5 or 6 different apps just to make it work? When I decided to buy the node. It took 10 minutes to have music playing. 1 app down load it fill out the info, plug in the power, ethernet cable an...

@danager Ive been streaming with the node 2i for two years now. I bought it to see how I liked that platform. Ive decided that having access to a library like that is pretty cool. So now I have decided to up my game a bit. So its not like I can't ...

@mahughes Thank you. I was curious as I didn't see any reference to it on their site. I did dig around and found the current, planed, and coming. That is very cool! I will do my studying it may not matter. I will look for some videos about the ap... 
A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
If it were me it would be Texas Hillbilly Coalition. Most of their stuff would be good for that type of motivation.  
Please help my ignorant a$$, I just want a good streamer...I think.
Ok gonna have to study the Innuos products a little deeper. Lumin supports tidal connect which is the control I prefer out of what I have tried. @mahughes Boy you hit it on the head, its music! Thank you for you thoughts on this. @danager "buy a... 
Audio Friends Don't Let Audio Friends ...
I would hope my buddy would tell me the honest truth. I actually ask them too, good or bad I want an honest opinion. If something I change has a negative impact and I don't realize it for some reason. I would hope my buddy would speak up. It might... 
DAC? how much more $$$ to get a significant improvement over Bluesound Node?
