| CD Player vs. music streaming Faust168 - I have been running a LUMIN D 1 for 5 years (this is a streamer and DAC in one box). My source is Tidal HiFi with MQA. Cost is $25 per month. The LUMIN has to be hardwired via Ethernet to preform. I am very happy with the sound quality.... | |
| Forever speakers around $5000 OP - $5,000 is a lot of money - here is my vote for a ‘forever’ speaker system. I have built this over the last years and it’s ability to satisfy my Listening Requirement is amazing - Maggie 1.7i ($2,200)with the Maggie Base Panel. ($800) I bi amp... | |

Sorry for the earli... | |

| OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. Jerrybj - thanks for the input on the Orange fuses you just got into your system. I am still on the fence and have not ordered anything as yet. My Krell KAV 400xi just got sent back to Krell for service - developed a ‘hum’ at higher volumes after ... | |
| Spread Spectrum Technologies I added the Son of Ampzilla II to my main system 7 months ago. I am bi amping my Magnapan speakers ( 1.7i and Base Panel) with their own power via two amps. My other amp is an integrated amp - a Krell KAV 400xi. I feed the signal from the Krell pr... | |

| OMG - I am just investigating ‘tweaks’ to improve my audio system. Thanks - apparently someone on the old thread thought I was going to disassemble my Krell integrated and electrocute myself. I will probably go ahead and use the less expensive silver inserts and jumper for the Magnapans from Mike Powell audio. | |
