I know the Krell, and it is excellent.  Definitely transparent!

As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c.
How would a set of 8b’s integrate with a swarm subwoofer system?  
Integrating speakers into contemporary decor - can WAF ever be overcome?
This is a silly post. If you have the ability to build your own dedicated listing room in the basement, problem is solved. As long as you have one optimized room, for listening, they rest, should be totally negotiable!  
I am interested to update my 15 year old system !
A couple novel comments… If you are going to stick with your Bluesound node, you might want to consider the power supply upgrade. People have said that it makes a significant difference to the quality of the sound, feeding a DAC.  YOU MIGHT WANT... 
Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET)
I’ve had the AHB2, the Atmasphere and the AGD Audions, and I greatly preferred the Audions.  I found the AHB2 to be non engaging and the Atmasphere to be a little harsh in the upper frequencies.  In contrast, the AGD was neutral, fast, black backg... 
Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers?
It would be great if your amplifier could be run from DC rather than an AC signal coming out of an inverter. Worth looking into.  
Original Quads (57) - the perfect amp
You will never regret having the Bedini as an option. As for tube amps, I tried the Rm-10, Atmasphere and others, and preferred the VTL mini triodes monos (4xEL84). I actually prefer the first version (red chassis), but the later version is much e...

How important is the quality of the AES cable, for connecting the MU1 to the DAC (which in my case is a Holo May Kitsune Edition)?  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  check out page 11 of the software manual.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Also… in reading the manual for the MU1, I noticed that they state that you must use the variable volume control, and that they recommend not using a fixed volume level. I am interested in how that does not reduce the quality of the digital signal... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I am curious about the digital inputs on the MU1. I have a Cambridge, audio cd transport, which is not a high ranking transport by any means. In my fantasy… If I feed the MU1 digital input from the CD transport, it would be as good as any transpor... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I am thinking about getting an MU1 but have a question. I currently have three roon endpoints running in my house, and they are all connected to an NUC roon server. If I install the MU1as a Roon server for my main system, would it be the server fo...
