| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences A: never had an issue with AA. B: can’t call and speak with a human at MD. Left a message, no reply. Just sayin’ | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I’ve been very happy and impressed with my Rel T9iand the T9x is incrementally better. Very musical yet punch with home theater. Hi or Low input. | |
| SACD transport? I’ve not had any real success with a pure SACD players, but have tried the Technics - excellent build, and DACs galore the Denon DCD-A110 looks like a winner. A build like the Technics and all the top end of Denon. Even the Marantz 30n doesn’t l... | |
| HiRes lossless FLAC Radio streams Lumin App 7.0.6 still requires a login. I have the latest IOS and have not seen the update you speak of. What is your app version? | |

| Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system Lumin D2 user here. I’m a retiring IT consultant and hardware person. I have several notebooks around that could be used as a transport feeding a DAC. The D2 frees me from messing with a computer tied to my audio system, and the maintenance, updat... | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? This depends on the wire gauge of your zip cord ;-) | |
