Focal Kanta No 2
We are here for ya, j-wall. At my age I have come to realize GF’s just don’t get happiness. Especially their own🤔 
Focal Kanta No 2
J-wall, let us know how you like them. I heard them the year they were introduced at RMAF then the 3’s. I really wanted the Sopra 2’s and was ready to buy when they bumped them $4K and I need center and rears so about $6k for the package, and back...

McIntosh, your experience?
I have owned many Mc amps as well as Pre-amps, Processors and one DVD player. I still keep two amps in my system one MC402 and MC205 for 2 channel and 5 channel respectively. I would suggest you do a little research on which model will meet your n... 
Chord Qutest DAC
Lowrider57: Thank You for your response I think the problem I’ve got with this, is that the 44.1 Indicator is the lowest indication of rate that the Cutest shows. I stream DEEZER at Flac and the Bluesound does indicate HD which tells me I’m gettin... 
Chord Qutest DAC
Pathos2, welcome and congrats on the Cutest. I have had mine for about a year now and leave it on all the time with no issues. Also contrary to the instructions, I found if you unplug it for any length of time, it re-boots back to its default sett... 
RMAF 2020 is Cancelled
As one who has attended every RMAF since year one, I am saddened by the loss of this annual event. Just when they finally moved it to a better venue, sans the miles and miles of walking on bad news.  
Favorite Lyricists?

About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
JM, I am in Colorado so a bit far to go demo. I will say that the VA and Aerials both are much better looking and I do prefer wood over paint. I hope the VA dealer gets his sold so he can bring in the Reference, I have given up on the Aerial deale... 
About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
Thank you for responding. I have considered the previous VA Beethoven's and found them just a little lacking in emotion on higher volume. I really like the sound at lower volume but some music cannot be played at lower volume, probably why Muzak d...

So jmfawdofile, did you ever get to listen to the new Reference series? I would be curious to hear your thoughts and comparisons to the previous version as well as you Aerials. 
Linn LP12 vs VPI prime / classic / signature
I have not owned both, but when I decided to sell my LP12, I considered the Classic III. I was fortunate enough to happen upon a dealer that had one on display with he same cartridge as I had. Also they had McIntosh Pre and amplifier hooked up. I ...

Your "Best of..." audio manufacturer in each state
As a Colorado native, my vote goes for Ayre as the best of the state and top ranking in the world. I only own one Ayre product but have my sights set on a few more as budget allows. I have been to the factory a few times getting a fix and update t... 
John Prine, singer, songwriter, legend - Dead at 73 from COVID-19
I think that there are 5 separate threads active about John Prine’s passing is a testimony to how many lives he touched. I myself have not been able to get Dear Abbey and Illegal Smile out of my head.
