Node 2i VS Lumin D2
I purchased a Node 2i and was talked into adding a ProJect DAC.  When I connect the DAC, I noticed the sound was too thin and I thought the Bluesound Node 2i sounded better by itself.  It seemed to play bass better and I don't care what anyone thi... 
Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU)
I looked a Rythmik before purchase two REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  I thought REL's high level connection made sense.  My goal was to have the best of two worlds, home theater and music.  I like REL's technology because it makes more sense to blend sub... 
One of the Best Stereo System in the World!
What a beautiful system.  He must be incredibly wealthy.   
Woofer pumping possibly due to tube amp when playing vinyl
Millercarbon, your system must cost a fortune.  I can't believe you are satisfied with listening to music in that kind of environment.  I like to incorporate listening into a beautiful room such as a family room so when I have company they can enj... 
the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings
What about buying speakers that are made acoustically to match the instruments you like to hear.  I am sure there are speakers that reproduce classical music better than others.  It would be interesting to hear from those who have found the right ... 
“BLOCK” Function?
The problem with this group is many members are dealers and they are trying to steer things their way.  It would be nice to identify those who are dealers so we can see who they are and to know they are biased.  Tired about hearing about Magico sp... 
Speakers suggestion help
Look at SALK.  His speakers are much better.  Then add a pair of REL S2 SHO Subwoofers. 
Perhaps a Stupid Question
I would buy a BlueSound Node 2i and listen to high res and MQA.  Time to leave the antiques behind. 
Subwoofer Settings
I meant to mention.  I did a lot of research on the subwoofers and determined the high level connection used by REL made sense.  This really helps to make the subwoofers act more like woofers to extend the bass.  I also thought the Rythmic subwoof... 
Subwoofer Settings
I have the same room size.  I purchase a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers and placed them in the corners pointed in the same exact direction to the listening position in the room.  I moved my towers from the back wall and measured the exact distance ... 
Any advantage to Bluesound Node 2i Versus Streaming from PC
Why would you use cheap CAT cable and USB cable in the first place?  Junk in equals junk out.  It is like buying a BMW and buying low octane rather than the higher octane fuel suggested by the manufacturer.  The reason why I purchased a BlueSound ... 
Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules
If the customer walks what do you have then?  0 + 0 = 0.  Great time to add to the sale and increase your revenues when you get them to part with their money rather than sitting on your inventory.  There is something called the cost of money.  Peo... 
Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer
What do you think retailers like Nordstrom and Macy's make?  You know this when they offer their 50% off sales.  A shirt selling for $100 suddenly selling for $50.  You can't tell me their cost is $45.  I am sure they are paying $25 which means th...

What kind of speakers are you using? 
Focal kanta 2 vs Sonus faber olympica 2..which to buy?
Neither!  Buy Salt Audio.  Much better.
