| Lumin U2 Mini Agree @woots The SQ of streaming from the internet is quickly approaching CDs or local files. And in my system, streaming local files has always beat out the sound of a CD from a transport into the same DAC. | |
| Is this the entrance to my rabbit-hole? A few years ago I had 1976 Khorns with AA xovers. I recapped with the Crites kit but wasn't happy with the sound. I ended up with a pair of Volti crossovers that I felt made a very nice improvement. And Greg Roberts is a gem to work with. Just som... | |
| sbooster upgrade for Lumin D2 worth it? I think to add a PS to any Lumin product, there has to be some surgery performed. | |
| Lumin U2 Mini A lot of people come here asking about streamer sound quality because there are many here who say streamer = streamer. So to some it is indeed a revelation. Yes, even the cheapest Lumin is much more expensive than the Node. But to me it was worth... | |
| Lumin U2 Mini @jetter What’s your point……? | |
| Lumin U2 Mini I’d have to give the nod to the bluos app over the Lumin, but only slightly. Then again, the app was the best thing about the Node I owned. SQ goes to the Lumin for sure. | |

I just recently replaced my JL audio subs with a swarm sub system. I really like it. Very clean and tight and integrates ... | |
| $4000 BUGDET - YOU ONLY HAVE 2 CHOICES - YOUR FEEDBACK MUCH APPRECIATED How old are those LaScalas? If they are old, new crossovers are a great upgrade as well. The appear to be AL5 Lascalas. No upgrade necessary... | |

| Comment about SS and Tubes What you really need is a more powerful tube amp. | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise Well if you are not opposed to the idea of replacing the Strata, I would take that 10K and upgrade to a better amp/preamp combo. You already have a Terminator, so you don't even need the onboard DAC of the Strata. You might find this alone would g... | |
| A rookie with 10K, seeking advise Tubes will always get my hearty recommendation. You didn't mention your analog front end or your phono preamp. Personally, I'm not a fan of all-in-one solutions like your PS Audio unit, but I understand if convenience and space is an issue. More d... |
