Retirement System Finally Completed: Impression of the Mola Mola Tambaqui
Even if your system hardware is all set, don't neglect the music threads on this site.  By reading them, I sometimes learn about some really good music that I wasn't aware of.  Enjoy that system, it looks great.

@stuartk  See below from Mojo Audio's website.  You can/should read the whole policy here. 45-day no-risk audition: Any product manufactured by and sold by Mojo Audio comes with a 45-day no-risk audition. It does not matter if the item is sold... 
Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews?
To imply a company has a “lack of integrity” simply because they chose not to make changes to their midrange driver is ridiculous, and weird.  I am curious why you even care.  If you don’t like the magazine and/or the speakers, then vote with your...

@brbrock - I both stream and play local music files.  My digital front end is outlined on my virtual system page and essentially consists of playing either files recorded in FLAC and stored on a SSD inside of my sonicTransporter i9 (Gen 4) server,...

@stuartk "do the Mojo DACs require tube amplification to sound "natural?" Not in my system, which is posted here on Audiogon. SMc Audio solid state preamp and two SMc Audio solid state monoblocks. Another interesting article/post on that sit...

Is this thread about magazine reviews, YG Acoustics, or just weird?

@john1  "I had thought that’s not an especially good, long term business model." Uh, define "long term."  YG Acoustics have been around for 22 years, are they almost there? BTW, how many times did Lamm redesign their amplifiers?  Just sayin'.

@rfagon - I agree with your assessment of Michael Lavorgna’s reviews of those three highly regarded DACs. I was also interested in reading his perspectives as a single reviewer listening to all three DACs in a single system. His preferences lean t... 
Non-Audiophile Audiophile question!
I certainly do not have first hand experience but as with a couple of your early answers, my first thought was Ohm. Another speaker line you may wish to consider is Shahinian Acoustics, Ltd. Looking over the line, it seems the Obelisk may be thei...

Michael Lavorgna just came out with his additional review of the Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC  - Part 2 Tube Rolling. Fairly short and succent (generally a good thing), he tried five different tubes, in addition to the original tubes supplied by th...

Streamer for LTA Aero
Here is a follow-up take on this, you can get by with less computing power since your LTA Aero has no DSD or MQA support.   We all started somewhere, which mostly is not the same place we end up.  If you want to get your feet wet with a solution t... 
Streamer for LTA Aero
"a highly capable, yet sensible streamer" and "My interest ...is due mostly to their ripping feature ...I have a couple thousand CDs." It sounds as if you are interested in a server/streamer with an easy CD ripping feature and also on-board sto...

@no_regrets - Yes, I wrote: "I recall a slightly dryer presentation from the non-NCZ version, that I do not perceive with the X SE NCZ or with the EVO Pro." That comment is part summation and part paraphrasing from notes I took and emails I tr...
