Aurender AP20 Impressions
Thanks for your input.  Hopefully I can hear this unit and others at Axpona this year.

Any thoughts on how it would compete with Aavik I-280, D-280, S-280 separates?  I am one looking for an all-in-one to simplify but don't want to loose the level of excellent sound I currently have available.  
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
If your not completely committed to Luxman or Accuphase you really should hear an Aavik integrated.  I have an I-280 along with their dac and streamer.  Quite exceptional.

Should have also mentioned I have Darkz footers for the Aavik and Ansuz boxes, the base units. And Sortz base units for the Aavik electronics.

Not a lot of pointers.  I have I-280, D-280, S-280, XT-C Powerswitch being updated to D3, A2 Mainz8, Kudos 606 speakers, Ansuz X2 Power cables, X2 Interconnects and speaker cables.  All I can say is how much I love this system.  Also purchased fro... 
The new Borresen M1's...a new direction?
Just replaced Kudos 505s with Borresen Z2 Cryos. My electronics, cabling and accessories are Aavik and Ansuz.  Z2 Cryos are really an amazing speaker. Certainly not the M1s but an exceptional speaker for 1/4 of the M1 cost. You should hear some of... 
Next Level Hifi
Tyler and Josh are the very best anyone could ever expect in an audio dealer or equipment dealer for any type of product. I have purchased quite a few items from them and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a few hundred dollar accessory or a $10000+ c...

Has anyone compared the Dinafrips Terminator II to the Terminator +?
Just a comment.  I've have Denafrips Ares II, Pontus II in other systems and am currently using Terminator II linked to Hermes DDC with I2s in my main system.   I've had the T II since it was released awhile back.  The rest of my system is Aavik, ... 
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Kudos Titan 505. Not much to say other than you should hear them.

I second the above.  I have ProAc Tablette 10 Signautres too with SVS sub, running through Naim XS3.  Perfect for me.  I have a room similar in size and listen at similar volume levels.  I run full bandwidth to ProAcs with sub contributing at abou... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
for me it's my simple integrated Naim xs2 amp in my second system and the xs3 amp in my living area system. perfect amps for living and listening. don't even think about replacing them.  
Where do you go after a BlueSound Node 2i?
Might want to try a Denafrips Ares II.  I have one combined with my Node 2i.  I set the Ares II to NOS mode, I think the combo is quite excellent plays though a Naim XS3 and ProAc Tablette Sigantures. 
Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier
I've got an 8100 and had some "boominess" in the bass. I switched to Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cables and now the bass is tight, deep and rich. The Satori's made all the difference in my system. Just a thought. 
Integrated Amp advice please someone help me
I think you should consider the NAD C370. Nice amp, 120x2, dynamic, very reasonable priced, used $350-$400, new $500-$600. It should be a significant upgrade from the 3020. If bought used you could then spend the rest of your funds on a speaker up...
