2021 audio system wish list
All,I read the first page or so of this thread and felt so happy this New Years Day. Then I happened upon the "political" and "pandemic" posts and I became unhappy. With all respect to all points of view, it has taken this very informative post wa... 
Point of higher priced streamer?
@lalitk Seriously laughing along with you! 
Speaker suggestions under 4k
@mofojo If the Pioneer S-1EX does indeed sound near the TAD E-1, then you have one mighty speaker at the price they are being offered for on eBay - that speaker looks to have drivers similar to the TAD E-1. I have owned E-1s along with the matchin... 
Looking for a speaker for my LM 845 Premium
Harbeth 30.2 sounds just amazing with this amp, I know, I've heard it plenty. The LM is a really good tube amp, a real keeper. 
I'm pretty excited about my new room i'm building
@oleschoolI have one thing you should consider and it was brought to light in at least one post to this thread. Room treatment. Yes, it is important. But, I'd recommend that you just finish the flooring, walls, ceiling, lighting, etc. Then leave i... 
Audio envy - dang!
Received my first order - one P2 Ocean PC and one Mega M3 (grounded) PC. They arrived yesterday in pristine condition and appear to have outstanding build quality. I plugged them both into the wall in my office to start the burnin process. I had a...

@docroastyWill be interested to hear about your audiosensibility dc cables. I purchased the silver dc cable from Paul Hynes but have no experience with any other dc cables. You can IM me so we don't go off topic on this Audio Envy thread.I do plan... 
Audio envy - dang!
@docroastyI appreciate the update. I know your predicament. I waited two full months for a Paul Hynes SR4T linear power supply to power my EtherREGEN - it arrived a week ago. It was worth the wait! 
Aurender N20 Music Server Comments and Observations
@hgeifman Howard,Thanks for sharing on the new N20. Without your thread, I'd of had no idea that there was a new player.You may remember that you and I shared a number of conversations when I got my N10. The problem was that sometimes it sang, oth...

@docroastyAny updates yet? Very curious the difference between the AE power cord and the TWL Obsession power cord. I’ve been thinking about these two PCs. 
I've been dragged to recommendations, kicking and screaming
@erik_squiresI started streaming in earnest a number of years ago but really found that when I purchased an Aurender product and thus used their Conductor app, I was/am finding new music as often as I want/ed to. As you noted Erik, some genre’s yo... 
Negotiate good price
