pre-amp processor
All I can tell you is I heard TacT’s room correction in a roughly $200k system, and with the room correction turned off the system sounded broken to the point where I’d never consider listening without it — it was that significant.  I think maybe ...

I’m no a big fan of most EQ programs either, but Lyngdorf room correction is very advanced and I’d be surprised if it didn’t yield positive results.   
Anyone have a Luxman headphone amp?
Yeah, that’s no doubt a different sound profile.  Maybe u can find something closer to the Luxman?  I feel ur pain man.   
Anyone have a Luxman headphone amp?
@devilboy Congrats on the Susvaras!  I’d be very interested in your thoughts on them versus the 1000se.  I read a review, I think at Soundnews.net, that said the 1000se captured a lot of the Susvara’s performance, but obviously there are serious v... 
CD transports; do they really matter
Get an Innuos Zen Mk3, load all your CDs into it an introduce yourself into the wonderful world of streaming and a whole new world of music you would’ve never heard with your silver discs.  
Egglestonworks Fontaine ll
I wrote a review of the Fontain Signatures a while back, and they were very impressive. https://www.soundstageultra.com/index.php/equipment-menu/227-egglestonworks-fontaine-signature-loudspeakers But, I also reviewed the Thiel CS1.6es and they w... 
Will An Anthem AV Receiver Benefit From An Aftermarket Power Cable
@ericsch just curious how the Anthem compares to your older Marantz.  My experience with Marantz is that it skews to to the warmer side and lacks detail up top, which I’d think the Anthem would excel in.  Your thoughts?

I ordered the Lyngdorf mp-60 2.1 Good for you!!!  Their room correction is legendary and I totally think you made the right decision and will be thrilled with the results.  I’ll just say, I’m jealous, and please report back on what I’m sure are... 
20 year old power center from monster, Circuits still OK?
No.  You can make significant improvements sonically.  AudioQuest Niagara, Core Power Technologies from Underwood HiFi, Audience, Synergistic, Shunyata — any of these and more would probably make an audible improvement in your system’s performance...

@devilboy I’m currently running Arya Stealths and am quite happy, but for my next upgrade I was looking at the 1000se so just wondering what you think of them?  Since you’re moving up to the Susvara was there something unsatisfying about the 1000s... 
Hegel H590 with BW 800D
What amp are you using now, and what kind of improvements are you looking for?  
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
Great speakers to be sure, although I seem to remember reading a review that said the lVa was a significant improvement, I think maybe in bass?  Could be wrong.  As someone who owns speakers from a defunct company, I don’t recommend it — it’s like... 
Hegel H590 with BW 800D
Completely depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for.  Without that info, this post is useless and you’re just gonna get individual opinions that may have nothing to do with your own.  Just sayin’.  
whats the best pre amp to pair with Bryston 4b cubed? A
Noting people arent convinced a Brtyston is markedly better than current arcama49  a vacuum tube preamp is on the list -I can put the arcam into bypass mode in that case. No.  Just..,no.  Nobody said the preamp section of your Arcam is better t... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
When I worked at Magnolia they always had the KEF Blades paired with Mac electronics.  To me, when playing my reference recordings, it was like throwing a blanket over the speakers.  Blech!  Not my taste and not a good pairing IMHO.  I guess if yo...
