| Speakers for Rogue Sphinx If you’re open to used there’s a pair of Spatial M3 Triode Masters on US AudioMart for $1899 that image/soundstage very well due to their dipole design and additional rear-firing tweeter. For new speakers the LSA-20 Signatures are still on sale h... | |
| Best Digital Music Server For me, life’s too short to try to cobble together various hardware and software bits hoping to God it somehow works in the end, which we all know it won’t and then will require even more painful and time-consuming troubleshooting. Some people lo... | |
| Innuos: A Cautionary Tale. There are important lessons to be learned here. If you’re buying something used, know if the warranty is transferable. And even if it is, get proof that it was bought at an authorized dealer if that is required for warranty service. You apparen... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? I am not looking for a marginal upgrade - I want dramatically better sound. And I am not looking to replace more than 1 component at this time. That really narrows it down to speakers IMO. I’ve got two suggestions that would be total no-brainer, ... | |

| New Gear Keep the Boulder for 2-channel. No question. | |
| Does it worth a upgrade to Dolby Atmos? I didn’t even know CJ made a multichannel amp. Why not go 7.1.4? | |
| DAC module of a high-end integrated amplifier still hoping for someone with IQ above 80 to reply (who actually understood what i was asking)A guy with an IQ of 80 is a genius next to someone with a 60 IQ (and I’m rounding up). I understood your question completely and afforded it the level of... | |
| preamp upgrade suggestion around $2000 Given you may be looking to not add any more tube warmth to your current system I’d second the LTA MZ2 with the caveat you need to also get the upgraded power supply (LPS) option. The added benefit is that the MZ2 is also an excellent headphone a... | |
| Choosing a center channel I have two recommendations I’d consider before the Focal. If you want the best match for your 7002s, why not just get the Def Tech ProCenter 2000 that uses similar, if not identical, drivers and is in all likelihood voiced similarly? Seems like a ... |
