Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
The single point source driver that KEF employs is indeed stellar at imaging (thats what they do best) but I would also look at ...Martin Logan, they would be a completely different sound (u wanna talk about sound stage) from Proacs, and they pair... 
KEF LS50 Wireless integration with REL sub
On the Kefs I would have Sub gain set at 0 or nominal, (dont use the controls on the KEF app to adjust sub, keep any filters off let the KEFS do what they do) then add the REL (it should be placed facing the center of the room in the corner to the... 
Thorens TD 145 MK 1 ; How Many Tonearm Options Are There?
It sounds to me like you really like that Thornes table after all the work you have put into redoing the plinth. Any tonearm would be a huge up grade over that TP16, so I would throw a different tonearm on it and keep it. The RP6 is a great table ... 
Done buying new vinyl
I purchased (for christmas) a new album from Music Direct, its by Kandace Springs a wonderful young artist, the vinyl is aweful (crackling sound on every revolution on every song...very annoying)! I wish they new how to press a record before they ... 
NOS tubes
Back during the golden years of tubed based electronics EVERYONE in the electronics industry and military was using this technology, do you think the tubes themselves were important? They were! And not all companies were equal. So yes and no is th... 
Are Aerial 10T's still considered a Good speaker on 2018?
There are so many speakers out there, but for the money you claim to be saving I think you couldnt go wrong, partnered with the right electronics these speakers will be a tour de force in a medium sized room. My Dynaudio speakers are 18 years old ... 
OPPO 205 Help!
If you look in the manual under "Hooking up to  AV receiver" (page 12)  it states several things about HDMI hookup and your receivers capabilities. Also it states that  " A receiver that supports audio input over HDMI is required" Matt M

Aurender, wich one? Upgrading from a Mac mini
Really you answered your own question already "2 TB’s is plenty". I will make it easy and say that GET the N100H its 2 TB internal storage and has no DAC so you just run a USB audio cable to your MAC, and control the thing with the AWESOME Conduct... 
Thiel is officially closed!!
I totally agree with jon 5912, this is a good thing :-) Also, I really like the point bar81 is making about audio companys and who what and why is steering them in the current and future direction they might be taking. Looking at a companies histo... 
Trying vinyl, need some help!
The Dynavector 10X5 High output MC $650! This is the best $650 cartridge you can buy imo. This will work very well with your MM phonostage. The dynavector sounds very lively and dynamic, itll make you want to stand up and dance or at least tap you... 
Regan RP1 turntable buzzing ground noise
All the REGA turntables have the ground in the shielded cable already, your problem is within your system, try plugging all the 3 prongs into a cheap power strip, and the AMP directly in wall. Also, any cables you can change to balanced (XLR) woul... 
Reducing Background Noise On Records
I'll tell you what...You can spend a lot of money on more electronics that add un wanted color to your sound, or you can buy a cheap can of Gruv Glide this spray will kill all static and lowers back round noise greatly. This stuff also protects yo... 
Buyer wants copy of passport?
It has been disappointing to see the many complaints that sellers have on this site, this is one reason I have not sold anything for a while. For me to sell something on Audiogon,  I would have to have gold as payment!  Very frustrating. Matt M  
Is my Amp OK?
This is the fun part...try some different amps and see what it does. Your about to go on a fun journey and remember if it sounds great, it is! Trust your ears. Speakers need to break in for at least 50 -100 hours before they open up and sound good...
