Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs?
since my current DAC is a Schiit Modi 2 which is okay but probably not stellar.I own an Oppo 95, not the 105, but I think this description will probably fit the 105 too. But, if you can get a good deal on a 105 you can try it and sell it if you’re... 
Highly Questionable Music Suggestions.
When it comes to reviews of music, personal taste is an even bigger factor than in reviews of equipment.Every month when I get my audio magazines, I check out the music reviews and listen to some of the albums that get great reviews. Usually I end... 
6H30 tubes vs the others
The 6H30 is considered one of the least "tube" sounding tubes. That is a generalization, of course, but many people don’t like preamps that use it for that reason. Other people seek out preamps that use it. They think that it provides some of the ... 
Can streamed Music sound better on a Sunday?

Lunim T2 vs Cary Audio DMS 600
When I had a Lumin a couple of years ago, I couldn't get the app to work worth a damn on Android devices.  Have they got that fixed?

The Bluesound Node2i is a streamer/DAC that you can connect to wirelessly or with an ethernet cable. The BluOs app that you would download to your phone for free is a really nice app that will allow you to connect with and control Tidal, Qobuz, Sp... 
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
ronkent, hifiman5,Thanks for your observations.  I enjoy my late night listening and it would be nice to get that sound all the time.  I think other factors involved late at night may be a lower overall noise level and my state of mind, though.  D...

Martin Logan Impression 11a power
I’m not a technical person so I can’t tell you how many amps each component will draw, but lots of people have multiple components connected to a single 15 amp circuit. I don’t think the 11a draws a lot power as their amps are class D.I don’t thin...
