My experience with The Music Room
I have both bought and sold from/to them several times.  Each transaction has been trouble free. I couldn’t have expected or asked for more.  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
It seems you have to go to the “Buy Now” link on the Denafrips website to see the reference to the Pontus 15th as well as other 15th models. This brings up another interesting factoid in that pricing which appears to be in US dollars on the Denafr... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Check the Denafrips Terminator 2 bs thread.  Seems strange but true. Please post once/if you hear back.  
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
@bcrock did you contact and hear back from Denafrips/Vinshine?  There is not too much chatter about this “new version” that I have seen, which if true, is suprising      
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
As a long time Denafrips user I find the above link very interesting and quite surprising. A picture is worth a thousand words so unless the photo has been photo shopped it seems there is still another new version of the Terminator.  It also seems... 
I’m afraid my Audio Aero Capitole mk2 has died
I had a Capitol years ago.  It was a very nice player for the times but improvements in digital since then are monumental.  Time to move on, imo.  I’d be surprised if parts are even available if you would attempt to repair.  
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
Have you tried your new Pontus without the Iris?  You might find that the Pontus upgrade gives you much of what you’re looking for using your Lumin as a source.  It did me when I upgraded from an Ares to the Pontus when I first started using outbo... 
Upgrade from BluNode 2i with a new DAC or Integrated Streamer DAC?
More good suggestions from siox.  Coincidently my 2nd DAC was the Pontus II after the Ares II.  I also upgraded the power supply on my Node with a LPS.  Going that route or something similar will be a huge improvement over what you currently are u... 
Upgrade from BluNode 2i with a new DAC or Integrated Streamer DAC?
I’m your age and did what you’re thinking about a few years ago. I also sold my vinyl system and now stream exclusively. First, don’t doubt your hearing ability unless your Dr. has told you otherwise. While I know I don’t hear as well as I did whe... 
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
And if my post makes no sense now it’s because you just edited yours.  Now I have really no idea what you are talking about.  But that’s ok.  Just enjoy the music.  
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
@audio_is_subjective64 not quite sure what we are debating here.  My point since posting initially was to say that I didn’t think my Class D amps sounded like or as good as my tube amps.  If you’re certain it has something to do with synergy, my s... 
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
@tvad “Nevertheless, I believe AGD Productions GAN amps (and I suspect Atma-Sphere GAN amps as well), are worthy of recommendation and audition.” I agree that they are worthy of audition.  I quite liked the AGD amps when I heard them at CAS this y... 
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
@tvad The three Class D amps that did not meet my expectations were AGD, Orchard and Atma-sphere, the 3 amps brought up by the OP.  I currently own A/S OTL and Conrad Johnson amps and recently sold some Pass amps all of which I am comparing to.  O... 
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
Just commented on your too heavy to lift thread. Do yourself a favor and just find the right amp. I went the GAN Class D route and now sorry other than it will probably be my summertime amp. It just amazes me how to some people they sound like tub... 
Handling Heavy Amps
I’m in the same boat as you.  Tried the Class D route but now sorry I did.  You’re probably looking at several thousand dollars for your new amp.  Hire someone if your dealer won’t do it, buying used or need to move it again.  Feeling pain for may...
