| Deals Gone Bad Interesting situation recently. Followed a listing for a tube amp I was interested in because I have the match and have been thinking about dual mono setup. No seller feedback though so I was cautious. Asked a few questions and seller responded an... | |
| Why are speaker stands so expensive?! Monoprice has great stands at very reasonable prices. Heavy and sturdy. | |
| McIntosh C22 (old & new) vs C2600 I’ve had a c2500 about 5 years with a Mc 275 tube amp. New Harbeth 40.3 speakers. Couldn’t be happier with the 2500. Great sound and the tuning options are all there. | |

I’m running Bel Canto REF 600 monoblocks with Bel Canto E.One Streamer and 2.7 DAC. I stuck a little Schitt Saga + tube pre in the middle of all this (primarily for volume control) where I h... | |

And a Dual 1225 turntable. Total cost about $400 as I recall. The most I’ve ever spent as a % of available funds. It started a nice j... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I’m afraid to add it up……. | |
| Which LS3/5a? Agreeing with Missti on the Spendor Classic 4/5’s. Just got a pair and very pleased. | |
| Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10 Just moved up from a Node to a Lumin D2. System is all Mc tube (c2500/mc275/MR71/MVP851) with Harbeth SHL5+ speakers. Even though the internal DAC in the c2500 is good, I got a great deal on the used Lumin and I think its DAC is better. Incredible... | |
| BluSound Node and Node 2 Just traded my Node 2i on a Lumin D2. I wasn’t unhappy with the Node but wow….what a difference. With Sugden IA4 integrated and Harbeth C7 speakers. | |
