1st Post Intro & Ramblings
A couple of things: 1) quite a few audiophiles have dedicated rooms, most people buying cheap systems don’t, they set them up in living rooms/family rooms that are shared with a tv usually.2) nobody can correctly setup a room in 10 minutes like mi... 
Analogue only preamp ideas? - no need for internal DAC!
you don’t need a preamp if your dac has a good sounding volume control. I had a very nice newer McIntosh preamp that I sold because I hook up my dac straight to the amp and I have no need for analog sources like a reel 2 reel or tt setup. Some dac... 
$7000 preamp vs $700 receiver - Is the difference THAT significant?
any avr unit sounds like crap for 2 channel audio. There are some very good integrated amps out there too, some integrated amps have built in dacs/phono preamps/streaming services built in. If you want to save money, get an integrated amp. If you ... 
All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?!
If anybody thinks a kef is even remotely close in sq as a Magico, they need to take up another hobby or get their ears checked. Same goes for tekton speakers. There is more innovation in the Magico mpods than in any Tekton speaker. 
Used speaker for 5K
Moabs are just an ok speaker, many better speakers out there for equal or less money. The usher speakers mentioned above would blow the moabs out of the water. If you like the dynaudio brand, look at the totem model 1 signature, or the totem fores... 
A long harsh digital trip - final meter?
If you use a fiber network, the line is clean compared to copper. Also if you go with the 1G fiber network, the latency is very very low and the bandwidth is huge.Also, USB is a terrible interface to a dac. As for power cables, I think this is 1 o... 
A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......
Do you think the only way to buy quality audio components is thru a dealer? You are wrong. I have read a couple of times that people have purchased speakers (1 pair was totem model 1’s) from goodwill for a few bucks. I have friends that shop at es... 
Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res
MQA sounds great most of the time, same goes for dsd. Get a good dac and you will hear a difference.Good luck on getting the Hegel supporting Roon. I have had 3 Hegel integrated amps and for a couple years now, Hegel was promising to support Roon.... 
The most criminal practice in the speaker industry revealed!! Keep reading
This guy always posts a bunch of garbage. Nobody reads this garbage but he continues to waste peoples time. Associating a fridge specs to speakers??? There is an optimal setting for the fridge and 1 setting for the freezer, why would I care if the... 
Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res
When you get a good system you will hear a difference. Right now, you won’t hear any difference between cables either. I saw you got a new Hegel, that’s a start on building a decent system.

It’s all screwed up 
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
this is a joke! He owns a store and has the amps packed up already. The pic shows the amps out in a system, he should leave them hooked up to attract potential buyers.Can you imagine if car dealers would charge for a demo run? They have to do more... 
Msb dacs why not alot of postings
I have listened to msb dacs at shows and club members msb analog dacs in the past, they are ok sounding, but preferred others. I haven’t heard the latest top of the line model since the virus occurred, my experience was with the models 2 years ago... 
What is missing here?
I think the OP isn’t a seasoned audiophile for a couple of reasons:* if you see an amp that is 9 watts or something on the low watts side, you know this amp will need high efficient speakers in the 100db range. Nobody drives an amp at its maximum ... 
Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU)
