| Lumin U2 Mini I’d recommend taking a look at the Innuos Zen Mk3 that’s about the same price as the Lumin, but like the Vault it has an onboard disk drive and server. Also, their Sense app by all accounts sounds fantastic and they provide very good customer supp... | |
| Sound quality of Roon +1 @audphile1 If I were you I’d strongly consider upgrading to an Innuos Zen Mk3. Not only is it a much better streamer than the Node, you can load any CDs you have directly into it and have all your music in one place. To your question, by all ac... | |

| Upgrading my Rouge Cronus 11 to what? The Audio Hungary Qualition and Octave V70 SE would be right at the top of my list. Best of luck. | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement i've come to realize how much of my perceived need for tubes in the chain was palliative in nature, solving for digititis and/or solid state artifacts introduced in the source and amp stages... in this crazy, unpredictable journey i have been on,... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement @aquint This scans well—every Soundstage! Review has "comparisons"—but I’m not so sure how helpful it actually is to a prospective purchaser, as there are likely a dozen candidates that he or she is considering, and Tim’s comparison product may n... | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement I did make the comparison but couldn’t write about it for the review, because it would have been irresponsible to do so. This kind of thing happens all the time in the course of reviewing audio gear. @aquint You’re kidding with this, right? The... | |
