When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
# 1 thing for me is I make a serious attempt to buy Built in America with as many USA components as possible. That limits my choices considerably, but that’s how I roll. My dad made it back from the Philippines, but his only brother’s body was nev... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Swapped out a Marantz 8805 for a Lyngdorf MP-40 Processor. My goodness, what a difference. Room Perfect to the rescue. Best money I have spent for years.   
What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.
Our Lyngdorf already has a Roon implemented so I went with a  Roon Plus a Nucleus with Qbuz. Really clean. No complaints, but I don't have anything to compare it to...

What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?
Back in the mid to late 70's there was a radio station in Columbus Ohio called Stereo Rock 92. Their competitor was QFM 96 that still thrives today. Rock 92 had something called "Midnight And Other Beast". Every Friday night at midnight they would...

I do the 7.4 version. You are surrounded. This disc is about as good as it gets. Its recorded in Dolby DTS and its recorded excellent. Five thousand watts , Four killer subs, and a complete Legacy system. Chest thump is better than being there. I ...

What do audiophiles do in their cars?
XM Radio with whatever the best "optional radio with *** speakers is available. I think the Pacifica has Harmon Kardon 20 speakers and a sub, and my Corvettes always had a Bose system. And I must have the "optional biggest wheels and tires on what... 
How long is it taking to receive a preamp?

More Roon Questions
Thanks for the enlightenment . You sold me as soon as a couple of you said most music sounds better after copied and replayed. Coming from CD’s and DVD’s I’m wanting to not take steps back in Sound Quality. Being penny wise and dollar foolish is n...

vinylvaletYes, I have the V5 powering my center and surrounds and the V-2 powering my mains. I can't believe how much punchier and quieter is is than my ATI Signature Series 6007...And even after hours of spirited volumes, over 100db, that they ru... 
surround processor?
For your information. I currently have a Lyngdorf headed my way. The 8805 Marantz I’m using is headed to my Sons, but I have a new, sealed, in the box Lexicon MC-10 that I purchased and before taking out of the box moved on to this Lyngdorf. I wan...
