| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @KENJIT never disappoints. :) LOLThe engineers at KEF have a lot more work to do before they can impress a master audiophile such as myself. | |

| Tim deParavicini has passed away I regret never owning some of his lovely gear. Here’s a 2007 profile:https://www.stereophile.com/interviews/1107parav/index.htmlI first learned of him when I started listening to recordings by Water Lilly, including Ry Cooder's "A Meeting by the R... | |
| Looking For Best Headphones How much do you want to spend? Arguably, the best bargain reference headphones are the Sennheiser 600 and 650. You can find Senn 6XX on Massdrop for a good savings over the official ones, and they are identical. The Sennheiser 6XX paired with an A... | |

| Music streamers cleeds Feedback like yours on the Aurender was what steered me away from them. I get that their Conductor app is good, if you don’t want Roon, but if you decide you want Roon later you’re SOL. I’m kind of blown away that the $20,000 Aurender is a ... | |

| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT karmapolice Tomic has the Treo CTs I know, which I have heard and love as I do the Quatros. If you are satisfied with the bass response on the Harbeths (frequency response: 35Hz–20kHz ±3dB ), would you be seeking a lower range with the Quatro CT (... | |
| Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT Since the Quatros have built-in amps in each speaker for the subwoofers, your amps will only be driving the mids and tweeters (using the hi-pass filters). Those Pass monoblocks may be overkill? If you love the Quatros, the matching Vandersteen mon... | |
| The Nylons "One Size Fits All" is still a favorite...and more... I love them! I confess I'd forgotten about them and haven't listened to them for 20 years. I will be streaming them tonight if they're on Tidal. | |
| Researching an "affordable Roon server/streamer, and my choice... UPDATE: Finally got my SGC server and SonoreRendu streamer set up. It was very easy to do. It sounds excellent. I am SO excited to finally have Roon + Tidal, and start ripping my CDs to the server.SETUP:I put the Sonictransporter server on the com... | |
