| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test I will say this about direct comparisons. I find during A/B gear testing gear can sound very much the same. It’s when you listen over a period of time and I don’t mean a few hours I mean days or weeks or months. That is when you hear small sounds ... | |

| In search of quality mc Phono stage Thank you for the responses. So the concessions seems to be stay with Tube. By the way my Mac gear is a set of Rebuilt MC 30’s and a C22 pre amp. I will raise my budget. I might look at AN and ANK Phono stages as well. The local shop is very fami... | |

| Meridian dSP7200 questions I have since discovered that the 808.2 can be upgraded to an 808i.2 version. The difference between the two versions is the inclusion of an analogue board to allow different sources. In fact, all 808 after and including 808i.2 had the additional a... | |
| Meridian enthusiasts please help. Also I don't believe my DSP 7200 have the SE upgrade. | |
| Meridian enthusiasts please help. Thank you for the response. I've done a little more research and found out that my 808.2 can be upgraded to accept the analog card. This seems like a good option for me to do. Would you agree? By doing this I should be able to plug any source In w... |
