| which car is sitting in your listening room? @analogvm15 Ha no way all original! I paid about $15K used. | |
| Best Values In Speakers To Pair With Coincident Frankenstein MKII Monoblocks? I would highly recommend Audio Note you can find used J’s and possible used E’s for under $5K. Easy to drive and designed to be paired with low powered tube amps. I have a pair of J’s myself and love them a very natural organic slightly warm trans... | |
| Tidal WiFi not as good as cd I have the exact same streaming setup as @wrm57 and Tidal sounds great to me. Some cd masters I own sound better than Tidal and Tidal sounds better than some cd masters I own. | |

| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? In terms of streaming the devices you mention duplicate the functions of your Lumin U1 which is a streamer/renderer. Most of the devices you mention are also streamer/renderers but what you need is storage. In my opinion you would be better served... | |
| Interesting cable experiment; surprising results.... It's the Village Baker! I'm glad the cable experiment worked out and I've ogled your bakery on here many times browsing systems! | |
| Paper cone woofers died in 1962 .... a look back My Audionote AN-J's have a nice paper 8" woofer and sounds great to me! | |

| SS DAC's driving tube pre / amp vs ss pre / amp I would say absolutely not if anything I find tubes, and you have some great gear, to be at least as transparent as SS if not more so. However since you were able to audition the Dac, presumably at a dealer, are you able to borrow one for a home a... |
