| Review of TEAC NT-505 I was lucky enough to purchase a NT-505 for $500 off Craigslist with the intent of doing a quick flip to help save for a future purchase. Instead, I’ve decided to keep the Teac and sell my current all-in-one NAD. This NT-505 is such a sleeper of a... | |

| How do you add color? @vthokie83 +1 with your description of what you prefer (so well said) - this is extremely close to my sound preferences, but I’ve never been good at articulating. Audiogon Friend Request sent!!! | |
| Aurender A20 or Lumin X1 @yyzsantabarbara appreciate the education/information. That Roon forum thread was the only place I had heard Aurender becoming Roon Ready. Had my hopes up. | |
| Aurender A20 or Lumin X1 Has anyone else seen the following about Roon and Aurender by chance? On the Roon forum I had read that “They said that with the new line that utilizes Intel instead of AMD, that they are working on a Roon Ready status for Aurender.”https://commu... | |
| Aric Audio I agree. I think Aric is definitely one of the talented good guys in this hobby. I had purchased a used amp some time ago and had some questions. He was responsive throughout, as well as nice and genuine. What more could you ask for from a small b... | |

| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? @antigrunge2 I know you greatly appreciate Peking Opera per the multiple emails we exchanged a few days ago - I really didn’t know how passionate and knowledgeable you were (impressed!). As you already know, but others may not, I’ve really leaned ... | |
| Anyone buy one yet? Thoughts? Came across the following from a member at WBF: Last year I purchased a Lumin U2 mini streamer which was a nice improvement over my Sonore OpticalRendu. It had better resolution which increased musical tactibility. Added a SBooster MKII linear P... | |
| Streamers with tube output stage? Gosh. I don’t think this exist (yet). | |
| All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp OP, it seems like you have some good questions. I found the C658 thread on StereoNet to be the most informative and helpful. You may have to register as a new user since there’s a page limit if not logged in. If wanting to stay with the all-in-one... | |
| All-In-One (NAD C-658) vs NODE N130 with Separate DAC and Headphone Amp Agree with Kota, DIRAC would probably have a big impact, in addition to being an all-in-one, as well as having two sub outputs. Because of your circumstance and needs, I would consider the C658 to be an upgrade from the Node. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? @czarivey you made my day then. Gang Starr was Guru and DJ Premier. Agree that Guru’s Jazzmatazz albums were solid throughout. | |
| Is Rap a valid musical form? All Arts Matter RIP Guru @czarivey are you referencing Guru from Gang Starr??? If yes, this would be next level on Audiogon my friend. |
