GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse  appreciate the initial comparison of AVA225 and LSA Voyager.  You say you didn’t expect the two amps to be so close.  Curious which one you expected to sound better?  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse Audiovector R3 Arrete’.  They are 8 ohm and 90.5 sensitive.  A  friend of mine was just over and he liked them very much.  He has a big room and really enjoys his Fyne 704’s. The R3’s are the company’s smallest floorstander and happen t... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
@markmuse, Thank you so much for doing this comparison.  I cannot wait to hear how the Voyager v AVA 225’s goes. The 225’s have been of great interest to me for a long time. I own the Voyager and loved it in used with my previous speakers.  But ... 
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
@ei001h, I leave the Krell on indefinitely and also the Innuos player. I started doing that about 3 years ago since none of my gear has tubes. Everything plugs into a Puritan 156. I tried the Krell directly into the wall and liked it better in the... 
Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k
I purchased the K-300ki from @yyzsantabarbara and could not be more thrilled with it. IIRC, the K-300i was the first product that used the iBias circuit although they may not have used that term in the original K-300i literature (or maybe even now... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@Melm, very good observations regarding low-level detail/musicality.  With skill, you largely overcame the pitfalls of using words to describe music and gear with respect to the topic of your post. In my view, you left nothing out.  So the follow... 
Anybody else notice...
I’ve been cracking up for years over the ubiquitous extraneous  “S” as cited in earlier posts:  Gears. In my field of work, GE (General Electric) was a major player and was often referred to as GE’s by foreigners.   Not being derisive.  I fully ... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
@dbb Thanks for asking.  I am not saying that, but I should explain: I tried ENO alone and then *added* EE switch and Supracat, so all three devices were in-network. I’ve not yet removed the ENO to evaluate the EE and Supra Cat alone, which is ... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
30 days ago I added the ENO silver filter **by itself** for about a week before adding an EE 8switch and Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable between the switch and ENO. Note: I have no ethernet wall plates so I was able to use ENO Ag without an ethernet pa...

Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
I am not a beta tester.  Fix was offered after reporting the issue in detail.  I’m glad I took the time to do so.  
LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps
Soundhound, you covered the moving parts of the matter rather well, in my view.The words “current” and “currently” are meaningful, however, as more and more choices will come, beyond what we already know is on the horizon: Atma-sphere, Mytek class... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
Several hours ago I got a beta version of an update that will be available for all Innuos users next week. I presume there may be others who have received it. It was offered after an email exchange with Nuno concerning issues with albums not being... 
LSA Voyager GAN 350 versus Merrill Audio Element Amps or AGD Grand Vivace and Vivace Amps
Very good question you ask.I have the voyager on a very good power cord, spring pods and 10lbs of weight on top.  I am very pleased, but have spent no time with any higher priced class D amps—GaN-fet or other.In case you didn’t see it, https://for... 
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
I read through Galen’s articles a few years ago.  My speakers were not plumb just sitting on the floor.  Something I read emphasized the value in correcting that in order to dial in set up.  Probably those articles.
