| Qualities Of An End-game System I think my mind shut down years ago but I am still here. 🤣Not sure my system is end game but I sure do love it. | |
| Importance of a DAC's elements I also like separating streamer and Dac I figure a streamer is probably a fairly noisy device electrically speaking. So why not keep the conversion process away from the streaming. I also like separates in general you can upgrade one half or the o... | |
| Shindo vs the world @antigrunge2 The problem with considering Wavac is that I'd hazard a guess that almost no one has heard one of their products. I've always been fascinated by them and would love to hear a Wavac amp someday even though what they make is way out of ... | |
| Aurender Conductor App Experience Not sure about imagining things but perhaps back when I first got my Auralic Aries Mini I started out using the LDS app on my phone. A short while later got an Ipad Mini to use as a remote and I swear the sound improved. 😉 | |

| Paypal drastic changes Sorry but freedom and paying taxes are two entirely different things. | |
| Are You a Swifty? She seems like a cool girl but musically speaking not my cuppa but she is certainly a lot of peoples. | |

| 12AX7A preamp tubes - ribbed vs smooth plate That is very sad new indeed I knew Bill had been ill what an audio legend may he RIP. | |
