Qobuz or Tidal?
I started with Qobuz a couple of years ago but decided to add Tidal because some titles were missing in Qobuz. If you can afford it better to have both IMO. I mostly do streaming with a Roon Rock NUC and HQPlayer core.

@dr3 A friend of mine told me i might lose some bass if i use Gaia footers. Since they are not cheap i'm not willing to take the risk. Any thoughts ?  
Integrated amp for Thiel 3.7's
If you guys want my take on Gryphon to drive CS 3.7s well it’s not a good choice. I’ve had a Diablo 300 for a year and sold it because it was too bright and too lean sounding. I now have a Vitus SIA-025 Mk2 class A, this is in a different league...

@jafant Retail for 2 sets is $190, got mine for $80 from my friend who installed them. He might also help me redo the crossovers with top notch Mundorf caps at some point.

Here's a couple pics of my weekend mounting Mundorf binding post on my CS 3.7s. I can tell you this upgrade is really worth it if anyone wants to try.

Hi folks, i've owned the Diablo 300 for a year and now sold it for a Vitus SIA-025 Mkll. I was surprised at how much difference there is between them. The Vitus delivers much more current than the Gryphon, i was shocked. I now have a much deepe...
