Yamaha NS 5000 w/ NAD M33
I can’t really say as I’m not familiar with the NAD, but it should give you more than enough headroom.  But as I mentioned with the Kula, adding a sub was sufficient for me in lieu of adding more watts.   If you’re still focused on improving the ... 
Yamaha NS 5000 w/ NAD M33
I’ve owned the NS-5000s for about a year now and have tried them with the Yamaha A-S3000 and now my current amp, the Mola Mola Kula.  As you’ve observed, they definitely like power to help with dynamics and bass control.  I’m not familiar with the... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
Primarily based on the rave online reviews, I recently purchased 5 Puron filters to use across my two HiFi systems.  In both systems, I noticed more ease and naturalness to the sound.  It's something you can't adequately describe unless you hear i... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
@acmaier3 - Well, because you asked about the sufficiency of my education in regards to my reading comprehension and logic… Yes, I have a law degree from a top 5 law school and am admitted to two state bar associations. I think my reading comprehe... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
I also don't understand why there could be any confusion on the lack of streaming capability in the Mk2.  PS Audio's marketing material never mentioned anything about streaming functionality w/the Mk2.  And for the "well, the Mk1 had the bridge" a... 
trying to upgrade speaker cable: Audioquest type 9 or Rocket 88
I own both and am currently using the Rocket 88s in my system due to the better depth, detail and bass than the Type 9s. I'd be happy to sell you mine, but I have 12' length.  
Lumin t2 bypass output stage
Yes, just set the volume to max (unity) gain.  This is detailed in the product manual which can be downloaded from the Lumin website.  
Holo Red Streamer
There is a long Holo Red thread on the PS Audio forums under the network section, including some users with the PS Audio MK I DAC.  That might be really helpful for your setup.  
Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system
I've heard demos of the lower end Steinway Lyngdorf speakers/systems at a local dealer.  It's stunningly impressive for both 2-channel and home theater (Atmos) audio.  It's not feasible for me as I don't have the space for their proprietary  amps/... 
Tannoy Legacy Eaton with Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated
I have a PL EVO 300 integrated running into a pair of Tannoy Cheviots.  I've been very happy with the combo.  I don't have any desire to upgrade that element of my system.  
Acoustic Curtain for listening area
I've also used Acoustic Curtains in my family room to cover floor-ceiling/wall-to-wall glass sliders.  The curtains are extremely effective acoustically.  They're also a step above Amazon and other cheaper options in terms of cosmetics.  And they'... 
Thoughts on T.H.E. Show in Long Beach this weekend?
The Acora room presented a clear and detailed, but not piercing presentation.  I would liken it to a clear mountain stream.  The 2.5 floorstanders provided an even frequency response with enough bass to be sufficient on their own.  I heard a brief... 
Thoughts on T.H.E. Show in Long Beach this weekend?
I attended Saturday and Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed the show this year.  I'm not certain on the number of exhibitors this year compared to 2021, but my impression is that there were more and better quality rooms overall than last year.   It's t... 
2, Which speakers to exhibit in audio show?
I remember your room at last year’s show.  I really enjoyed the sound and loved the look of your speakers.  I look forward to hearing your setup this weekend.  
OK, so seriously, what is up with TMR's pricing here??
My assumption is they are factoring in the Audiogon ad fee on top of their base pricing.
