K&K Phono Preamp questions.
I can tell you that you have one very fine phono stage. I have owned mine for 20 years and is now the maxxed out version. I have no desire to change to anything else.Oz 
Negotiate good price
Hard to believe there are many smart people around here when they can swallow this one so easily? You guys heard from any Nigerian princes lately?Oz

Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
I agree with @noble100 If your speakers are generally of the full range variety, no need to add an additional electronic crossover to the mix. KISS applies here, less electronic artifacts, the better.Oz 
Adding a sub woofer?
I added a pair of HSU ULS-15 II subs to my Cornwall IV speakers. I am running the CW full range and bringing the subs in @ 35 Hz. I can very much recommend the HSU  brand, these things integrate perfectly with the main speakers and are unobtrusive... 
Does anyone do off-axis listening as well as Magicos?
Most horns do an excellent job off axis. 
Poor Fritz
Beautiful speakers. But an 85 db speaker can only be so friendly to a tube amp, no matter how smooth the impedance.  
Considering a Raven Audio Blackhawk Integrated for Tannoy Sterlings
I am not comfortable with the belief that one could tube roll an amp that is designed for use with EL34s as output tubes to sound like one designed for 845s. I could be wrong.  Indeed correct. I have owned the Line Magnetic 518ia and many EL34 ...

@hilde45You misunderstood. The question was directed at miller since he described the qualities of the Raven amp, I asked him if he had heard it.Had nothing to do with Mesch.

You want bloom and air, soundstaging and imaging without any added warmth. You will find what you want with Raven.Just curious if you've auditioned a Raven amp? Crickets............

Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer
The Lumin app works best on apple devices. I have used it on a Samsung Tab A and it was ok, but far better on an ipad. I wouldn't even attempt to use it on ANY phone.Oz 
Have speakers really improved within the last 20 years??
You are asking for measurements. Then you say audiophiles want better sound quality. These two don't have to be mutually exclusive, but they don't always go hand in hand. I don't listen to measurements, I listen to music. And if speaker A measures... 
Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer
I had a Bluesound Node 2i and upgraded to a Lumin U1-mini. It was a very noticeable step up in sound quality. The node is a good value and does a lot of things right, but sounds mechanical and less involving than the Lumin when using the same outb... 
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
Hmm. Could someone explicitly confirm what I read here is true: that, even if I use twin-subs, I should set the bass on my speakers to 'Large'? If you really care about accurate integration with your speakers, connect the subs using the speaker...
