Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier?
I have a Benchmark LA-4 line amp, and love it. About a year now. Have it running   a Meitner MA-1 DAC balanced. Mono sub out connection is nice, Volume mechanism is to die for, very accurate. Rory,  at Benchmark is great to deal with and quite kno...

lpretiring is spot on. It doesn't take much. You may not even feel or see the burr or imperfection.  BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, IT JUST SNAPS IN PLACE. Enjoy   EYE OPENING!!!!  
New Project RS2T transport
I think Charles one dad is spot on. You can read my earlier threads.  I just listened for a bout 5 hours over the last 2 afternoons with my RS2T and it was GREAT! After experiencing my past, (previous units) it's always fingers crossed when I turn... 
New Project RS2T transport
Very interesting. Again I will say It took me a 3rd unit to get one to work properly. Going out shortly  to listen for a couple of hours. At least one of those hours will be strictly CD's. I had the music room "thoroughly" check my third unit befo... 
New Project RS2T transport
I honestly believe I have been through hell with the RS2T. Charles one DAD from above has kept me afloat, THANK YOU!!!!. I have had 2 units that were flawed, to put it mildly. My third has been a GEM, SOOOO FAR. I have added a LPS from LTA and hav... 
New Project RS2T transport
So far so good with my RS2T, I have added the LTA LPS and have been quite pleased. I'm using it with a Wire World Upgraded (bluish colored Power Cord) the one just before the Electra version which is OCC copper.  Just ordered a level 3 power cord ... 
Will this amp work as described below:
appreciate all responses very much. There seems to be mixed views on the power needed to give me my low to mid 90's spl's. Rock and Roll is best served loudly. With good equipment sounds great.  For what it's worth my hearing is very good at prese...

  lalitk, To answer your question, I bought the Project RS2T transport. I read many reviews and several posts from Charles one dad and others. I initially bought one and had to return it, didn't work. It also happened to me for a second unit. Qua... 
Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market
For the above party. Do you own them, or have you owned them? I believe I have a rather nice system in a very good acoustic area. I listen to R&R loudly, mid- 90's spl.  Have an ATI 6002 amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner DAC MA-1, Project ... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
To soix:  Thank you so much for the updates. I looked at several video's about the IFI ZEN streamer. Geared to several, but, not really Qobuz, which I found strange. It seems as though the hardwired is the way to go. I may look into that soon, How... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
After looking at a couple of videos about the zen streamer, it doesn't sound to bad to hook up. Sounds like what you said. I guessing that that app you spent $6 for enables the ifi streamer to accept Qobuz?? other than that USB to USB  dac to stre... 
Amazon music vs Qobuz
Thanks so much. I don't want to spend a fortune on a streamer, but, you have me really curious now.  Reason, If I don't keep Qobuz,(Love the sound, but terrible interface)  the streamer will be wasted money, as no streamer really supports Amazon H...

I listen to strictly rock and roll, loudly. Tekton Double impacts upgraded in large room. Smaller secondary room, same rock and roll, great bookshelf speaker, Fritz carbon 7SE, both within your price range. Enjoy   Robert TN  
Amazon music vs Qobuz
to those trying to help, I really appreciate it. I have what I believe is a very nice system. However, as far as understanding Audio, etc. I am somewhat of a novice. I want to thank dbb, soix,and edcyn for their suggestions.  Other than paying off...
