Audio Research LS28/SE, Ref 5/SE … what do you like better?
Thanks for all the advice/suggestions …. I decided to spend a little (and have no regrets)  went with the Ref 6.  It sounds sublime!   
Audio Research LS28/SE, Ref 5/SE … what do you like better?
@rsmith73  Thanks for the comments, just the insight I was looking for. I was able to audition the LS28 SE in my system for a week but only heard the Ref 5SE in another system. Your thoughts have me  leaning to the 5SE (or Ref 6, if I want to spe...

Rives Parc - does anyone have the BARE software
Hey easyaudio, Did you ever find the BARE software?  I can pick up a PARC pretty reasonably but I’m concerned about using it without the software. how hard is it to use with only the CD?   Any thoughts are appreciated before I make the purchase.... 
aavik vs Devialet
I recently purchased an Aavik U-300 to achieve an all Borrensen designed system (Raidho D1.1 speakers, Ansuz cabling, Ansuz Darkz resonance control and Ansuz mainz8 Diamond power conditioning). I previously used 2 Devialet Expert 200’s in a mono c... 
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
Hey Guys, Thanks so much for all the great advice and suggestions.  I have a wonderful foundation for my search.   I will take the next few weeks to try and acquire many of the recommended streamers (and look into Roon) to make a decision.   ... 
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
ghdprentice …. Good question. Perhaps  I haven’t heard a really good streamer? The Lumin T-1 that I listened to for a while just couldn’t match the sound (to my ears) of the Esoteric & clock on red book CD. I used the Lumin via Tidal (non MQA)... 
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
Andy, Truly appreciate the comments.  I looked up the Theoretica (hadn’t heard of it) really sounds interesting. Obviously, a significant investment …. was it a real game changer?   I have been looking for a dCS Bridge for a little while, withou...

One other note ….. A friend mentioned that he was very impressed with an Innous Zen Mk 3. Any thoughts/experiences with Innuos?  
Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC)
Hey guys, As always, thanks for all the input!  I guess providing a little more insight into my system and how I will use the “streamer” would help.   First of all, I have simplified my main system over the past year.  Got rid of a good analog ...

Pathos and Dynaudio
I agree with Czarivey. I have owned the Pathos and it doesn't have the power or authority to drive the C4's properly (unless it is a very small room and you like to listen at low levels) 
Looking to hear from Thor owners
Mcpherson.....just thought I would give an update on another potential speaker match. I was able to buy a pair of the TPA-30's (locally for great price)....had a pair of them before, but sold to get more power. Now I'm back because I couldn't get ... 
Looking to hear from Thor owners
Hi Jayson,With the TPA-30's I used SAP Audio Quartettes. They are not very well known, only a few retailers, but they are made in Italy and are beautifully crafted speakers. They were made for lower powered amps (espcially tubes) and were a wonder...
