@stievus Yes, very happy with price… when I saw it on TMR as a trade in, jumped on it immediately. My CD player is a Marantz CD6007, attached via digital coax to my Chord Qutest, with the N150 attached via USB. Thanks.

BTW, I was the OP on one of the recent streamer posts. I ended up buying a lightly used N150 for $2K. Very happy with my decision… perfect form factor, great sound & love the conductor app, particularly through my iPad.  I also use Qobuz. I wo...

@rvpiano  +1 on the Blue Note label. My Herbie Hancock album that I used to AB vinyl to streaming was the Blue Note version. Great pressing.

@rvpiano  Thank you, good post. There are many variables.  @benanders  You are correct, Apple to Apple comparisons are difficult. Most of my albums are from the 60’s & 70’s. The remastered albums tend to be inferior and quality pressings can...

I still feel that vinyl is superior, even though I just upgraded my digital side. (Aurender & Chord). But the convenience of Qobuz digital is hard to beat.

GREAT post. Got a bunch of recommendations for music to listen to. Loved the thoughts of Simonmoon. Interesting some mentioned a good system would calm some recordings. I thought a good system would reveal recordings, with all it’s warts.  For me,...

@12many  Very weird. I was unable to get the original receipt so asked Aurender to provide manufacture date. Just received this from them.  “According to our database, your unit was shipped to the US on September 9th, 2022. Based on this shippin...

Quick post on Aurender warranty transfer. While the warranty does transfer, unless the purchaser of the used Aurender can obtain the original sales receipt, the warranty start date is the date of manufacture. Per Aurender support: The warranty fo...
