| conrad johnson CAV45, CA200,... @oddiofyl Yes, indeed. +1000 The CAV 45 S2 makes my Sonus Faber monitors sound very close to electrostatics with pinpoint imaging. I find the presentation to be quite uncanny and special This CJ control amp does indeed "just sound right." I fi... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh About 120 hours now and I’m starting to get a much better sense of how good this integrated amplifier really is. No, of course it’s not tubes, but it certainly has its own special charms. The phono stage is excellent, and my former passion for vin... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh @daodao The 550AXii arrived this morning. First impression is how beautifully and carefully Luxman packed this component. Second impression is how beautifully made it is. Third impression is how good it sounds right out of the box.

| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! I bought a NODE 2021 a few weeks ago and ran it in for about 100 hours, connected to a Jolida Glass FX tube DAC via either a coaxial or toslink cable. SQ was disappointing at best. I experimented with the settings, until I ultimately arrived at wh... | |

| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh Update. Well over a year later. 😋 Finally decided to sell the vintage tube separates. Done. A relief actually. Luxman 550AXii due to arrive by mid-August 2022. Went through a couple of modern tube integrateds in the meantime. Both had/have the... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? @erik_squires The Owens Corning 703 works a lot better for me than the 12" ASC traps I once had. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? Good question, Erik! One thing that made setting up a pair of subs much easier for me was to put a 2’x4’ x 6" Owens Corning 703 fiberglass panel in each front corner. I plan to add a second pair in the rear wall corners. I also have successful... | |

| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? Seems as if some of the comments posted during and after happy hour, or perhaps other recreational substances, have a rather different tone than those from earlier in the day. :) This has been an informative thread for me, so thanks again to ever... | |
