mahgister:  "The wise has many masters or no one» -Groucho Marx"Hello mahgister,     I believe the correct quotation is "The wise may have many masters or none at all."     Just like our African-American brothers and sisters up until Emancipation,...

PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
Hello Ozzy,     For some reason I thought you live in Michigan.  If you do, I think I have a very good and simple NAS solution for you that I bought from a local hi-end shop here in Indianapolis.  This solution requires the use of an iPad running ...

     I enjoy all of geoffkait's posts.  They're typically humorous, irreverent, relevant, clever, slightly rebellious and always entertaining.  Every comedian has an inventory of favorites they rightfully consider gems, puts them in a rotation, sl...

mahlman: " " I will say the manure is spread deep 😄 "  Have to have it to grow good crops.      I do enjoy threads that begin with a premise that is full of manure.  These manure ball threads tend to roll downhill quite naturally and satisfyingl...

Hello geoffkait,     Yes, those north side yuppies can get unruly when well lubricated.     I also enjoy wearing a bra on my head after a few cocktails for a look with a hint of wackiness, promiscuity and devil may care all rolled into one.Tim

     Yes, hope you guys have a good 4TH, too! My wife, youngest son and I are going to Chicago to visit my oldest son for the weekend, he lives near Montrose and Oak st. beaches on the north side.       A thong, face mask and "Trump Happens" hat a... 
WOULD IT BE DUMB TO BUY A MARK LEVINSON NO 23.5
     Uh oh, sooner or later you may regret buying the Krell.  Everything you and others were stating, regarding how timelessly good Mark Levinson gear is, I believe is true.       My only personal  ML excellent experience is  with a ML 326S preamp...

     Inside joke between mahlman and sokogear?     And mahlman thinks most of us didn't read the posts with close enough attention to get it?  C'mon mehlman, knock it off.Tim

     Like pcrhk mentioned earlier, these forums are a means for us all to have the freedom of just calling things as we see them or hear them, like an umpire calling balls and strikes. We're just generally doing it in essay form. rather than true-...

     Exactly, limomangus.  The only reason I know how to solder is because I had to be proficient to pass a H S electronics course.  I'm not really proud of this skill, haven't used it since that class and, hopefully, I won't have a need to the re... 
PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference?
Hello ozzy,     I use a Lumin D2 in my system and think it's an excellent performer.  I use it with a 20TB Synology NAS and an iPad for wireless control using the Lumin software interface.  I believe the X-1 would perform at least as well as the D... 
Combining a sub-woofer with Bookshelf Speakers
      Do what tgrisham and the others suggested and use 2 subs instead of just 1.  The bass from 2 subs will sound about twice as good as the bass from a single sub and the subs will integrate more seamlessly with your bookshelf speakers.  Also us...
