Matching Aurender with P.S.Audio
Which do you already own? The DAC or the N150 ?  
Check This Out!
Cool but unlikely worth the $$$...  so many great DACs for less from companies with pedigree.    
Subwoofers
The S/ 510 and 812 are excellent subs  
Dealers of High End Equipment
Not always true,  Fidelis in Nashua NH offered a home demo of a DAC my first visit....   I have returned several times there to purchase gear.   
Dealers of High End Equipment
I do expect a decent in home trial or taking a demo home,   getting a good deal is great.  Support after sale is important.    They offered to ship it free but I wanted it that weekend.  I would definitely put them at the top of my list in the fu... 
Dealers of High End Equipment
I recently purchased a CD transport at Safe and Sound in Chicopee MA.   They've been around a long time and I'm surprised I've never visited.  Probably because I had known them in the past as an Auto Stereo store which is how they started.  It wa... 
No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
Reviews make good bathroom reading.... If I can't see it and hear it in person I am generally not interested.  Lack of in home demo or decent return policy is usually a deal breaker for me.   I actually prefer reading about how great something is...

My list of compact subs with room correction.

No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?
Reviewers have been getting free gear and accommodation pricing forever.  I don't expect that to change at all.     
$8k for speakers - new or used
Used,  can buy a lot of speaker with that budget   
RIP SRV
Lucky to have seen him live ! One of the best ever....   was playing an original copy of Couldn't Stand the Weather the other night .   Why he's not on Rolling Stones top 10 is a mystery to me.   
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
I'm 57,  I was afraid they would stop making quality players.  I have a lot of CDs, 3 or 4 hundred at least.  Most I like all the way through...  Two weeks ago I bought a new transport and my CDs have never sounded so good.   I have purchased abo...
