Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
The problem is the inability to audition in your own environment on your own time. And with certain products needing break-in, this can be a prolonged time.   
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
Before you jump into Dirac, you really need to look at "Room Perfect".....Simply amazing reviews and seems to make more technical sense than all other automatic room corrections. This Lyngdorf's circuit design is really neat also. Pretty amazing p... 
No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio
I spent way too much time and money during the shutdowns having lots of fun buying and selling and researching.  Sometimes (no just about all the time)....The fun for me is in the research....AND THEN the HUNT!......Trying to find that one piec...

Yup...Dump it all and go Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 and KEFD LS50 Metas...DONE!  
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
So removing a poor preamp (Marantz SR5015) makes the system sound better...Got it!  
Question about Class A
Rogers High Fidelity EFH 200 Mark III...... And only 5X his budget!😂  
Question about Class A
I have three Class A amplifiers....A Yamaha M45 that is both Class A and Class A/B with the push of a switch, A Tubes4HiFi ST120 Dynaco clone Tube Amplifier and a Pass Labs First Watt F5v2.....Here is what I hear... The tube amplifier is magnifice... 
component grounding
I've been zapped plenty of times by ungrounded equipment. If you play with any electronics enough...You'll get "zapped"...But that's not dead or injured.... I recently bought a Zero Zone tube preamplifier.....It has a three prong plug but the ... 
Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock
So this whole thing about grounding audio gear. There are millions of pieces of vintage audio gear out there without ground plugs. In fact, many don't even have a polarized two prong plug. Yet search as I may, I can't find one situation where some...

Battery to Power Your System?
I tried to find some info on the N.E.W. amplifiers. Seems they are a Pass clone of some type and the folks that have them, love them. Could't find anything on the DC powered version.....I'd like to know more.  
Paypal Changes for 2022
and that’s great, as this is a side business for you. However, the vast majority of audio enthusiasts selling gear here or in other places using PayPal, do this for pleasure, not a business (i.e. selling something to upgrade to a better / newer u... 
Kef LS50s - great like me but need to come up for air
Tough call.....I'd borrow a set of LS50 Metras if you can. If you think the LS50 are good, but need a bit of "something".....I bet the Metas would satisfy that "Thing". There are only three speakers in the last 50 years of playing with this stuff ... 
Paypal Changes for 2022
I live in Massachusetts and I've been getting 1099 for years from PayPal. I sell a 17HMR Bore Guide and do about $3000 a year. I itemize and deduct any expense I can with regard to this little side business.  
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
Been here...Done all this! First streamer was Andover Songbird. I was totally blown away by the whole experience. I bought a Schiit Mode3+ not knowing that the Songbird actually degrades the bit count when using the optical or digital out.....But ...
