| Speaker of My House…! @jomonhifi You will definitely want to add Rockport Avior ii speakers to your list. Or the Cygnus if budget allows. Rockport speakers are amazing and universally praised as one of the best speakers made. Good luck! Ron | |
| Birthday DAC @jerryg123 HaHa! Just watched that movie last night! | |
| Intriguing Speakers From Germany Was the room they were in completely untreated? His voice sounded a like it had some echo in it | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's I must be lucky being born in 1964. My playlist has music from the 60s 70s 80s 90s and 2000s! How could anyone just like a small window of music when so much great stuff is out there. One song will be Zepplin and the next one Gangnam style by Psy!... | |

| Qobuz hell My playlist on Qobuz is full of the songs I grew up listening to and a lot of new ones as well from suggestions from members here. I use the BluOS app and it works great. Couldn’t be happier | |
| Is there anything better than live recordings? Studio all the way. Better control over quality of the recording. Live has too much crowd noise etc. | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? +1 for spikes on concrete and Gaia footers on suspended floors | |
| DAC/Pre-Amp Advice @chuck_tamu Its a little hard to pin it down. I believe it did clean up the noise. The music was clearer with more detail and a blacker background. I was pleasantly surprised at the result myself. | |
| DAC/Pre-Amp Advice @chuck_tamu An external LPS for the node would be a noticeable upgrade and leave you with enough money for a nice stand alone DAC. |
