Lumin D2 Dac/Streamer Vs 2021 Node/Denafrips Ares ii or Chord Qutest
IMHO, the Blusound isn't in the same league as the Lumin or other alternatives in your budget SQ-wise. Many like the experience using the BlueOS, but if that's not your plan, there goes that benefit.  I used the Lumin app with other gear for year...

@j_husker Thanks for  Newly acquired Mingus-The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Acoustic Sounds Series 2021. This mix is off-the-charts good. So much more depth and clarity than the 1973 Reissue that I’ve heard many times. Unbelievable really. ... 
Why has Virtual Systems Activity disappeared from the forum section?
I made a suggestion months ago that didn't a reply, perhaps you all have a viewpoint... add links to Virtual Systems right below posters usernames and avatars in each post. IMHO, knowing whether or not posters have their system up is often useful ...

I'm late to the party here, but wanted to add that a friend brought over a collection of ~20 vintage cartridges that we swapped onto my SP10MkII that I had at the time. The Grace F9 was the one I wanted of his. I ran a couple of interesting ones t...

Have any of you folks suggesting ss amps  > 50 watts listened to them extensively with 100db+ speakers and been blown away with the resulting sound quality? If so, I think many of us would like to know what combos they were.  IMHE, lower power... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?

@bslon The Busboys! I lost my copy but remember it being a fun LP, haven't heard that band mentioned in 20 years.  @tomic601 Glad chatting with you too! Goodies await. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Acoustic Sounds Series) Got to mention a hig...

Jack White - Lazaretto (Ultra) Weirdest gimmicky pressing ever. Flat profile without lead in groove-fine. Hologram on side 1 near center- cool but hokey. Side 1 plays backwards, from center to edge-WHAT! Horrid noise at the end of the side. Screwi...
