Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound
I am so happy for you!  You have a pile of cash invested in quality electronics and it is good you have complete enjoyment with the sound you will enjoy for along time. This is what it's all about, excitement, and enjoyment of music and an experie... 
Warm romantic & detailed
I would recommend as a speaker builder, hobbiest to stay away from metal / plastic drivers if your ears are sensitive to harshness.  The less harsh silk dome tweeters you can listen for hours. Some cone drivers can also be very smooth but can have... 
Crown vs Vidar
Update , with what lttle time I have ,  I was blessed to have a Shiit frend at work.  I borrowed a saga preamp, Bifrost Multibit DAC my friend had laying around after he upgraded to a Freya,, Yiggy,  mono Vidars.   The change in sound was remarkab... 
why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable???
Everyone's ears are different. I respect your opinion, but I can hear a difference by trading CD players, dvd players, blue ray players, pre amps, DACs. Power amps, and speaker cables. I will not spend alot of money, but will try to do the best fo... 
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
I have heard a Shiit Saga preamp with a solid state tube. I could not tell any difference in sound as opposed to a regular glass tube. It ran warm, but not hot. For power amps, I am not sure if solid state tubes exist? It sounded really nice. 
spend on the streamer or on the DAC ?
I saw the coolest product not sold in the states but in the UK you might be able to. I never heard of it before. Advance Paris. At Kronosav.com 
Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon?
Eric, if you think you need help, you should get it from a professional that  can help. That being said , I know many people out of what can be considered very intelligent.  I am a computer guy for a research R&D facility and know dozens of PH... 
Preamp suggestions, yes again
I recently borrowed some audio equipment from a friend.  The Shiit Saga + II and the Bifrost DAC.  Playing off an Innuos mini mk 3.  This is going to be difficult to beat for the price!  The voices became buttery smooth, more clear and detailed as... 
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Try  wired connection directly off the router should give you a gigabit speed. Wireless bandwidth is limited.  Especially of running wireless video to receiver boxes in other areas of the house. 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...
As an electronics guy here is my opinion Take it or leave it.  A power cords whole purpose in life is to supply power.  Many manufacturer's will do a great job in circuit design,  power supply design and for some reason overlook the amperage ratin... 
Expert Advise Needed on Streamer - DAC combos.
After doing a home Demo, I was totally impressed with the sound of the Innuos mini MK III.  It is heavy for its size. I can burn cds to a 1TB hd in the unit which is more than I will need.  I listened hours  for about two weeks with it as a Roon c... 
Educate me on music streamers, please.
I communicated with the international service supervisor of Innuos and he said they can add Deezer to be available on my device.  I did a demo of a mini mk III and loved it!  Its sound is outstanding . I have Deezer which I want to keep.  If you w... 
Innuos and Roon
I am testing an innuous  mini MK III with it setup as a Roon Core. I am inexperienced with this technology.  This is a demo Unit and my first experience with Roon. I have to say the innuos sound is amazing with Roon. The key is the DSP.   All room... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
What along opinion.  My response, Really?  Well I guess everyone has a right to tell it like they see it.  That being said, being technical about the innards of electronics in audio has absolutely nothing to do with enjoying the music.  I have an ... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
YES!
