Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
@calvinj -Mad is as mad does. The irony is music brings the performers and listeners joy.  David  
Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender
I have an Aurender N200. It's sublime. I chose it because of its beefy power supply, shielded isolation and (for me) ease of use. Since I already had a DAC I really like, I did not consider a unit with DAC/streamer combination.

@calvinj -"My daughter punched a hole in the cone of my Gato FM6 speaker when she was 2.  lol 😂 I lost my mind that day." Ouch! I hope you were able to repair it. I suspect others on the A'gon chat board can share stories of pets, family, friend...

@tomic601  "Lord…i had banished from memory the Cat and the destroyed REF5 se …… instant PTSD…." LOL. Me too! I liken it to a teenager wrapping his dad's sports car around a mail box.

Good thread. Thanks to the OP for delving into the limits of civility. A number of years back my cat destroyed my ARC Ref 5SE. I posted a request for help/advice and while I got sound advice, certain posters decided the thread was an audio chat bo... 
HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS
Congratulations! You own a fine DAC. What sounds best to you? A fun thing, I always enjoyed, getting new audio equipment is the discoveries you make while "playing around." David

Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this !
I was a collector of Dick's Picks, Road Trips and Dave's Picks. I lost enthusiasm for the same reasons the OP and StuartK stated. I recently brought a boxful of CDs to a reseller, and he gave me full price on my DP, RT and DavP sets. Clearly, the... 
Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge?
@spiritof76  I got the CA Concept with the upgraded arm. From the get go, the Concept was a more resolving turntable in my audio system. If you want upfront toe-tapping energy, get the P6. FWIW, It WAS great when set-up. My cats thought the same... 
Schiit Eitr/Intona Isolator and Aurender N200
@oddiofyl - After looking through Aurender threads on other audio websites, I've come to the same conclusion. Aurender has done a terrific job shielding their USB output. Of course, if I had $16,000+ sitting around, I could upgrade and get an Aur... 
BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard?
@charles1dad - Thanks for the heads-up! Just loaded on my Aurender.  
Upgrading cd player
"Really looking forward and excited to getting it on Tues." Christmas comes early to tatooedtrackman's house :-)  
Upgrading cd player
@tattooedtrackman -I have the REF CD6SE. The CD9 was out of my price point. I heard the CD9, liked it A LOT. What the CD6 does, the CD9 does more of, if that makes sense.  
Harman acquires Roon
Harman International is owned by Samsung. It markets its products under various brands. These include Arcam, Harman Kardon, Mark Levinson, Lexicon, Revel, Infinity and JBL.  I could foresee them selling audio integrated amps with Roon-specific pr... 
A blowing session????
"Which would lead me to my next question, perhaps this is why Miles Davis ’progressed’ into the discovery ( if you can call it that?) of fusion." A reason (and not the only one,) is that Davis wanted to play music that would appeal to fans of roc...
