| Streamers When buying a streamer, make sure you also consider the user interface friendliness as a criteria in your evaluation. Also, some streamers do not support (internal) WiFi access if that's something that is important to you. Good luck with your search. | |

| Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact For that size room, you may want to consider Tekton Design Impact Monitors. I think the bass from the DIs might overwhelm your room. Just a thought. | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE “...Same with Auto companies ... new model every few years...”Not a valid analogy, in my opinion. Even aside from cosmetic/design changes, auto industry tends to make specific and measurable advances in technology which can result in improvements ... | |
| When is the Apple Camera Adapter necessary? My understanding is the camera adapter is just an ‘adapter’ and if your DAC or player accepts USB-A, you should be able to transmit content through this connection. | |
| New tube preamp If you decide to expand your search to include other tube preamps, you may want to add Aric Audio to your list. His preamps may not look as exotic as some on the outside, but it’s top quality under the hood, both parts and workmanship. He can also... | |
| Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right... Duke, how do you handle the adjustment of phase at -90 degrees between the two (or four) passive subwoofers while using only one amplifier in the Swarm system? Does this approach require two or more amplifiers each with a separate phase control? |
