| Is Room treatment different for Horn Speakers? I have horn speakers and am in the process of considering a bass trap in the corner right net to the speakers. I have had good luck with Vicoustic Acoustic. | |
| Upgrade advice (dac, streamer, other)? Check out Lumin. I have had the U-1 mini, D-2, A-1 and X-1. A great DAC/Streamer with a very nice App. | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget No question - Integrated at that budget. Take a look at Raven Audio. | |

| Viking Acoustic L'Instrument Grande Voix First Impressions On Friday I am hosting a listening session for 3 Phoenix Audiogon Audiophiles that I have never met and only communicated through Audiogon. I look forward to hearing their comments on my system. It should be fun. | |

| Does Lumin x1 needs a dac ? does a good dac will improve it ? @haimr Call Dave in NJ from the above text. He sold me all of my Lumin products. He can either help you with the proper cabling and hookup to your CD player or he does sell a very good less expensive Music Server that would benefit your system | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @papafrgog --you bring up great points that I have questioned in the past to no avail. It is interesting that when a new model comes out, the brand always tells you what has changed. ie better capacitors, resistors, wiring etc. It would be nice ... | |
