| Stereo or monoblocks Honestly, the mono vs stereo discussion has never really shown a clear winner. They’re good stereo designs and good mono designs. It will all come down to the particular implementation you are looking at. I have used both and the only advantage th... | |
| Need iPad app that will control the volume on my Musical Fidelity M6Si amp? The easiest way to find out is to go to the Apple apps store and do a search for musical fidelity. If there is an app for it, it will pop up. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @jackhifiguy I think I can help. Let me know what gear you have now and I might be able to help you get rid of them. I just got my hands on a little inheritance from an aunt. Maybe you could tackle some valuable projects for your family, like a ... | |

| What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it? Theoretically, the highest quality digital music is DSD 512. I doubt your current equipment can decode it (I am not familiar with the Bluesound Node). Qobuz is actually pretty good, same as Tidal. You can buy digital music on line at places like N... | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... @carlsbad How? | |
| Low profile power amp suggestions? Look into Marantz multi channel amps. Very reliable and not very expensive. You can find an open box seven channel one for less than 2 grands. I have been using one for the last 15 years with no issue. | |
| Help me make sense of this - Midfi system sounding better hifi. If you want to find the weak link in your expensive system, why don’t you start swapping gears one by one, from the cheaper system to the expensive one, starting with the speakers then the amp and so forth.
