New Lampizator Baltic4 or demo/used one?
It is the best site if you really want good audio information.    
Phoenix and Tucson Record Shops?
BTW, Little Miss BBQ has the best Brisket in the country and I have been to KC, Memphis, Tx, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida for BBQ.  The Ribs are outstanding also.  You have to get there by 10:30 am. so go have some BBQ to fuel your record search ... 
New Lampizator Baltic4 or demo/used one?
I would ask that question to the WBF guys.  There are a ton of Lampi owners on that site under Digital.    
Why do I need a switch?
What just happened to my system?  I am a newbie to two-channel network switches.  I started researching them a month ago.  I thought my music sounded fantastic, to begin with.  I purchased a TeddyPardo LPS for the very front end of my whole house ... 
What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo?
Rock ----three guitars, drums and organ.  It is great to listen to in the car but not on a great sound system.    
Schumann Resonator
Not all tweaks work in my system....my 21 SR HFTs were a waste of money.  The Schumann Resonator is now in the trash.  It did not help me sleep nor did it do anything for my music.    
聖HIJIRI Users thread
I love Hijiri and Sternklang.  Tchernov just never did it for me.  I would be willing to try the Hijiri SM2 but I would need to sell the Nagome if there is any interest out there.

@pokey77  I wish I could update you on my Aries Cerat Equipment but I am not receiving it until the end of the year.  Right now, I have the AC Essentia Mono amps.  I will be getting the Aurora Speakers, Ageto Pre, and Kassandra 2 DAC.  I will rep... 
Streamer/server newbie
Given your system and your desires just get a Lumin U-2 mini to act as a transport.  Simple and inexpensive.  I got rid of all of my CD's once I got a Lampizator Pacific and Horizon DAC and a Lucas Audio Music Server. LDMS.  I just sit in my chair... 
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
One more thing...If you have the Nagra DAC, then a Lumin X-1 is not needed.  Lumin X-1 by itself would be good.

Besides Lalit, (I know what speaker cables he has), for those using Hijiri PC's and Interconnects, what speaker cables are you using and why?  
Lampizator Questions
My Pacific with VC ran direct to Aries Cerat Essentia amps.  My Horizon also runs directly to Amps.  IMO, the pre-amp portion of the P and the H are good enough to where you do not need a Preamp.  
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
I had the Lumin D-2, U-1 mini, A-2 and X-1.  I thought the X-1 was the best DAC I had heard under $18k.  I purchased a Lampizator Pacific and at first there was very little difference between the two.  Tube Rolling does come into play here.  I now... 
Lampizator Questions
What are your questions?  I have had the Lampi Pacific and Horizon.  The build quality on each was extremely good.  Tube rolling is not necessary but everyone does it.  It is fun to change tubes to find your sweet spot.  Once you find it, you usua... 
Recommended Server?
Save your money if you do not need a Music Server and really only a transport streamer.  Go Lumin.  The U-1 mini is simple, a nice app an easy to use.  BTW, you are missing the boat by not going full music server.  If you did, you should look at L...
