Did I screw up??? C2700 vs c49
I had a C2600 and there was no reliability or quality issues.  Pick the one you like best and I expect they will both last a long time.   I've not heard them back to back - I have heard the C2700 and I do like its performance including its built ... 
Just FYI: Tidal is consolidating their HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers
@moonwatcher Curiosity killed the cat.  I'm very pleased with Tidal.  I occasionally find versions and mix change that I'd wish they hadn't. Ultimately my consideration for Deeze, Qobus or Spotify has to do with integration into Room or my stream... 
Brigid Monos or Mono Blocks?
The M400s were awesome - they were dynamic with clarity and capable of reproducing music with finesse or punch.  I think they are excellent value for the price as I compared them to McIntosh and Audio Research.  They blew away the McIntosh in my o... 
Brigid Monos or Mono Blocks?
I'd prefer monos; however it depends on how the equipment is designed. I have used to own Moon's M400 mono blocks and they are excellent.  The 330A is a heck of an amp and I chose the M400 versus having to buy 2 Y adapter XLRs. I currently own t... 
Just FYI: Tidal is consolidating their HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers
I just learned this too.  I had the Hi Fi plus subscription so while the are ending the military discount they are also lower the cost of the subscription I had. I'm considering adding a second streaming subscription - Qobuz, Deezer or possibly S... 
To loom or not to loom?
@audio_is_subjective64 My goal or vision didn't start with a cable loom as an end goal.  I did experiment with cables starting with speaker cable.  I had several brands and Kimber Kable Bifocal XL was a clear winner. After I realized speaker ca... 
To loom or not to loom?
@ghdprentice +1, I think it depends. I have Shunyata power and Kimber speaker cables and interconnects. I am very happy with where I am and don't expect to move towards 1 loom.    
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Gratitude and appreciation is a wonderful place to be.  Enjoy the journey.  
Let the best be your guide
I enjoy the good recordings and if I find something that isn't a good recording, if it's so bad I can't enjoy it I don't play it. I had a guest who really liked Dolly Parton and some of her early songs you can tell the recording is subpar but not... 
Opinions on NAD please
I have owned NAD Home Theatre Receive (T-765) and an integrated amp (C 375 BEE). I upgraded from a Yamaha home theatre receiver and thought they were outstanding. The NAD home theatre receiver was specifically requested (with incremental cost)... 
Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage
I'd encourage you to listen to Moon's 250i v2.  I had a 250i as a loaner for 2 weeks and it sounded a heck of lot better than I expected it would given it was subbing in for 2 400 watt per channel mono-blocks.  
Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
I've owned the C2600 Pre-amp and MC 302 Amplifier and I enjoyed listening to music at home more than ever (at that point)  Sound Quality: It sounded good.  I enjoyed the sound immensely and the difference between McIntosh sound and others to me... 
Most impactful for playing soft
During my journey I've found the better the system the less need to want to play it loud. (85-95 db) and the quieter the music seems because the 'space' is more accurately presented.  After getting my system components in place I noticed power ca... 
The $10,000 Question
I like Sonus fabers and think the Sonetto V is a great value for speakers. Amps there are two companies that make some excellent amps with great value Moon (SS) and Rogue (Tube)   Good luck in your journey!  
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
There are some great options for speaker cables mentioned - I'd also consider Nordost. I've been very impressed with them as with Transparent.   I've been very pleased splitting my cables - Shunyata for power and Kimber for speakers/interconnects...
