PSA: Short Unused Speakers and Subs in the Listening Room
Welcome back @millercarbon !  
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
I had one SVS SB-12NSD and was very happy with it. But I kept reading here about people using subwoofer swarms (4 subs) and raving about it. I stumbled across a guy selling two of that same model for $400 for the pair and jumped on it to see what ...

Hearing Aids
I've tried tweaking the custom settings and I've gotten music to sound much better but I think more visits to the audiologist are in order to really squeeze all I can out of these. I have nice detail in the highs I was missing but on the custom se... 
Hearing Aids

More Detail From a CD?
@james37 No the CD has more detail than the files that were ripped from it or the same song files on Tidal. All files are played through the same DAC, amp, and speakers. No change in cables.Also the Pendragons are fantastic. 
More Detail From a CD?
Good information georgehifi, thank you.fuzztone what did you jump to after the NAD? What did it change? 
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
I purchased a used Perfectwave DAC II here and I've been thrilled with the sound. I find it incredibly life-like. The remote that came with it was used so much the labels on most of the buttons were completely worn off. I contacted them and TJ not... 
How far away from your speakers are you?
@steve59 Geez how powerful is your amplifier?!?
