Speaker List narrowed down…
I really like ProAc reference towers (if you can listen to them) given the following: down-firing port for flexible placement slim design, yet very good bass response plus nice wood options to pick from multiple tweeter configurations they l... 
Is There A Better Solution?
I have an Exposure 3010s2d in excellent condition I am thinking of selling if you are considering a M6 over the all in one streamer and int amp.  
Budget integrated amp?
I have an Exposure 3010s2d int amp in excellent shape for sale.  $1250 plus shipping, which should be around $100...  
Intergrated
I have an excellent condition and sounding Exposure 3010s2d in black with factory remove, box and power cord. This was the model that went from the passive preamp stage to non-passive, which was a very notable signal path upgrade. Many very positi... 
Audiophile Surge Suppressor (and nothing else)
I have an Environmental Potentials EP-2050 that works very well: https://ep2000.com/products/home-protection-products/premium-surge-protection-filter/?v=e75edac1b83f  
finally tried an exposure 3010s2d integrated vs my audio refinement (yba) separates
I think this is helping me understand what is going on here: I am going to target approx 2.5V resulting output voltage for a given preamp, with the following options: The Exposure 3010s2d preamp comes in at 2V, which is close, but still needs ... 
Phono Preamp Selection
I would try one of these if a used one comes up for sale: https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649863048-salience-lp20-mkii-phono-preamp-aka-jasmine-lp20/    
Is it all phasing or is it something more?
Speakers are definitely in phase as this is the only content that I notice it on plus I hear the same issue on my girlfriend’s system. Still wondering if it reproduces on non-streamed DVD or Blu-ray media.   
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
After some thought and reading through the posts, I don't think I am going to consolidate given the fact the I-3, the i3.3 and the 340i seem to be a very similar performing integrated amp.  I did try an I-3 in my main system when I was getting my ... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
One thing to note here you are going from Mutli-channel gear, that you’re using 2 channel, to a dedicated 2 channel integrated likely it will sound better. It will certainly sound different, generally I agree with the guys above best keeping the ... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
...I replaced my SimAudio 340i amp with the Musical Fidelity M6Si integrated DAC because it sounds much better than the SimAudio.  I also use a separate DAC... Interesting @hgeifman, which DAC do you use?  Not sure why MF would have such limite... 
Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$
I recently purchased an Simaudio I-3 to put against my audio refinement (yba) separates in my main system with ProAc Studio 148s and a modified RP6.  The room has various rugs and some basic foam bass traps plus the primary reflections are mostly ... 
Puron AC Power Conditioner really....
Hi Mark, Thanks for answering my questions earlier this week and also talking about the DC blocker.  I do have a follow up question.  Have you had any actually return a Puron during the 30 day trial period? Thanks, Scott  
Monitors for 14 x 20 Room
Wharfdale Denton 80th anniversary monitors on good rigid stands.  I have some in my bedroom system and sound great.  I tried them with a Simaudio Moon I-3 and it was a very nice combo.  I got the I-3 while my other preamp and amp were getting serv... 
Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations
I have a very nice sounding black SimAudio Moon I-3 integrated in excellent cosmetic condition with factory remote that I am not using.  Great warm yet detailed sounding class A/AB amp.  It has a classic retro look but no UV meters.  PM me if you ...
