Critical subwoofer tip
I am simply blown away by Millercarbon's knowledge.  He should be teaching at a university.  Fascinating conversation.  Can't believe people have more than two subwoofers.  I did a lot of research before I purchased my subwoofers.  I was torn betw... 
Arcam Integrated Amps
I meant to add customer support from ARCAM is absolutely horrible.  The customer service person after a couple of questions told me to not contact him again.  He was the rudest person I have ever talked to.  Wonder if anyone else experienced the s... 
Arcam Integrated Amps
I purchase an ARCAM AVR550 only because I wanted to use it for both Home Theater and 2 channel listening.  Their AVR850 model sounds extremely good because they have a new G technology that is able to play the first 50 watts in Pure A.  Wonder wha... 
Jaw Dropping Improvement?
I forgot to mention.  I did a blind test at the dealer with and without the DAC and I picked the Bluesound every time without the DAC.  I should have gone with what I heard and not purchased the DAC.  Maybe it was the cheap DAC I purchased.  Anoth... 
Jaw Dropping Improvement?
I purchase a Bluesound Node 2i and the dealer talked me into buying a Project S2 DAC.  When I got it home, I thought it sounded much better when playing the Bluesound alone.  I don't care what people say, but I think MQA sounds great and if you ad... 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
Pretty rude answers.  This guy was just asking an innocent question and the first guy to respond immediately tried to make him feel stupid.  I thought this was a great question.  Not everyone is a knowledgeable as the first person to respond.  Per... 
Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image?
I tend to agree with the potential of hearing loss.  When is the last time you had your hearing checked.  Could be as simple as that.  If that isn't the case them change out our tubes.  Having a digital system, I have not had to face the tube issu... 
Suggestions for New CD Player
Not sure why anyone these days would purchase a CD player?  You have to get off your seat to change the CD.  Streaming hi res on Tidal is a much better alternative and I think the sound quality is much better.  You also have access to a huge libra... 
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change?
I wonder if adding a pair of REL S2 subwoofers wouldn’t increase the size of your sound stage. Btheir high level connection allows them to blend seemingly and act more love me woofers.  Seems like you have a nice system. 
Which Speaker
I certainly would not get a Marantz.  I have one for my surround system in my family room driven by Definitive Technology speakers which are satisfactory for watching TV and some movies.  I am building a higher end system for the living room event... 
Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured?
Did you ship the speakers in their original boxes?  If not, were they shipped in a double box container with Styrofoam to withstand shipping.  I would certainly start there first.  If they weren't shipped in the proper packaging, I would cover the... 
Better Integrated Amp?
I would save up your money and buy something decent.  As they say, junk in = junk out.  I would think think this group could tell you at what price point to start.  You also need to determine how bright you want your sound and choose accordingly. 
What kind of listening chair
You must be kidding? 
If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly
Optical cable makes sense. 
SVS vs REL and experiences with both: your comments and preferences...
I have two REL S2 SHO’s and I love them.  I really like their high level connection technology because they play like additional woofers.
