| 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. | |
| Considering moving to separates with a tube preamp-appreciate recommendations Bel Canto rarely gets any mention here so I’ll weigh in. 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... | |
| Burt Bacharach has passed away Sitting here listening to a 61 song playlist on Tidal “Written by Burt Bacharach”. Just an amazing assortment of songs. He sure made a lot of singers sound great! | |

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... | |

| 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. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Lumin T2 streamer/DAC. Used. 6 months old. Picking it up next week. Upgrading my Node 2i which I was running through my McIntosh c2500 tube pre using the Mc built in DAC. it was OK but I’m ready for an improvement. I have Bel Canto Stream and DAC ... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 I’m running Harbeth C7’s on my bookshelves with a Sugden IA4 (30w Class A). Great tandem. More recently I added a little REL HT1003 sub and I like the extra oomph. Streaming only with this setup with Bel Canto DAC and Streamer. |
