Bluesound Node Question
If your tablet or phone can cast to your TV that may work.   
ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection
No, running mains full range and driving sub via speakon cn.   I have a Velodyne SMS 1 that I used to use with the REL but I took it out and went speaker level off the same binding posts as speakers.   I ran that RCA and single cable out of that t... 
DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600
I agree, maybe the DAC 2 card is the way to go.   My Dad has a Mc MA8950 and it sounds great with his streamer and the Amp's DAC 2 card .     I am a big fan of separates but if the built in DAC is well implemented it can sound really good.   I h... 
Do No Harm ... well the least harm anyway
Personally I would run those full range and just dial the sub in with a low crossover. Or use a DSP based low pass for the sub or something like the JL Audio crossover just for low pass,  Those are big speakers you'll be missing a lot of what they... 
Best and Worst customer service?
Eversolo /Zidoo.   My Dad's A6 streamers USB quit working after their latest firmware.   Denied there were any problems...   but at the same time others are having issues with USB.    I asked them for the last firmware, they said no that's danger... 
LAIV Harmony
I am surprised it has no volume control,  I thought that gold knob on the corner was it's volume .   I actually prefer a DAC have a fixed output with nothing in the way like cheap potentiometer or digital volume that truncates bits.      
Eversolo a6 and Lampizator
My Dad's Eversolo stopped recognizing his MA8950 amp's DAC card after the last update.   It worked perfectly for almost a year.  Eversolo answered my request for support promptly but once I told them it was 5 days from end of warranty and I would... 
ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection
I like to run my mains full range, never with any type of high pass going to my Amp.  With a low crossover the REL will never call attention to itself.    I start with RELs recommended volume initially and the crossover set to 25 and slowly work ... 
ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection
I just set up a S/510 for my Dad.   Awesome sub.  I used the Speakon connection and it sounds great.   I also have a REL in my second system and it is using Speakon also.   In my main system that sub was driven by the pre out .   I think it integr... 
Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
I love my Aurender.   Their support is great and it’s built like a tank.   I have used Innuos several times and I thought it was a nice product.    I think Bluesound is great, and I think the mistake people make is that lateral move.  Maybe you t... 
Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp
Agree on that being one of the  best streamers for the money.   Buy a streamer from a company that only does streaming that has great software and support.  Vitally important in this product segment.  
Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4?

Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers
I don't know if the Seven are hemp cone alnico but the driver is of similar design to the C.A.M and S.A.M.    
Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers
I  have S.A.M. in my second system. I agree on their strengths outweighing their weaknesses.   Using a Cyrus i7XR amp with Vault 2i and REL r305 sub.    Great sounding compact system.   They replaced a 25 year old pair of Sonus Faber Concerto.   ...
