@rocrayThe battle is so close with the LFD and Belles. Still testing out things with different tracks etc. still haven’t decided. But one decision I did make. The Gungnir is staying. RME is going up for sale. The RME is very clean accurate and tra...

@creativepart heard great things about the Rogue Cronus Magnum. Might have to audition that amp.

AUDIRVANA No Support CAVEAT EMPTOR!

So got the LFD mk IV today. Let it warm up for a couple hours play. The Audiolab 8300a is a great value at $1300 new (even better used/open box price) butthe LFD definitely beats the 8300a. Just better dynamics from top to bottom. I always felt th...
