| Bryston BDA-3.14? Using BDA 3.14 as a streamer. Here are my experiences. 1. Yes, the UI is outdated, but it is functional. 2. I do have the BDA 3.14 wired directly to my router. No WiFi. 3. The 'lost connection' happens if I switch the BDA 3.14 off/on and try to... | |

| Cocktail Audio X35 or X45 I recently purchased an X45, and is a very good unit. Sounds way better than my Oppo 105. I can' tell any difference between ripped CDs and originals. Purchased some lossless 96/24 albums from Qobuz. They sound awesome on my Krell + MartinLogan s... | |
| Who R U? Try Miles Davis 'Bee-Bop'. IT has some interesting rap. | |
| The best CD Player for the money Stay away from transport/DAC separates.I've owned a Linn Mimik II, and a CAL 10. I now own a Wadia 830. Nothing is better, even at higher price. | |
| which amp? too many choices Krell KAV 250a can be had on audiogon for under $2000. It's quite a bit better than Classe | |
| Who R U? I'm Bob, a 50 year old living in beautiful Central Texas with my wife and two kids. I've been in this game since 1966, when I built my first Dynaco tube amps. Back then, I had to buy two amplifier kits to get stereo, because mono systems were stil... | |

| How does one get off the merry-go-round? I have a friend who's been in this since the early 1970s. He recently dumped his Conrad Johonson and Theta separates, and bought a Classe integrated amp and a Theta Miles. He likes the new system better than the old, and he put some cash in his po... | |
| Austin , TX . I'm from Cedar Park. I'm interested if we can talk about HT and digital also. | |

| Help! Need tube preamp to finish system. Sonic Frontiers Line 2. Excellent value. I disagree that preamp is most important component, however. ALL components are important, even cables. I have found that SOURCE components make the most difference. Spend money on cartridge, for example. A... | |
| Classe or Bryston? The Ariel 8 works great with Classe Omega amp. Not bad with Bryston 4BST either. I got bored with the 8s after a year, however, and sold them. |
