| Integrated Amp Choices @high-amp I forgot to add this in my statements about the BM stack.If the pure BM stack is too revealing (what I use) and some warmth is wanted. Try the CODA 07x preamp. The 07x preamp and the AHB2 are incredible together (I also have this pairing... | |
| 13th Note HiFi Review of Network Streamers I love the OpticalRendu. I have recommended this to so many people. When I first hooked it to my DAC the improvement in sound was so great that I bought a second opticalRendu immediately for my second DAC.I have a music network setup that I imagin... | |

| Suggest something that plays CDs and streams for around 3000? A pretty good CD player with USB input are the new Luxman units. You can play CD/SACDs with these players. You can also hook up a streamer to the USB input and then stream into the internal DAC of the CD player. It is a good solution for someone w... | |

| Integrated Amp Choices The CODA CSiB is great. So good that I decided to sell it and get the CODA separates (07x and deciding on #8 or #16). The KRELL K-300i integrated is also great. I thought the KRELL was a little smoother and had more bass than the CODA. Both are a ... | |
| Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat Spend about $50K on the electronics and speaker and about $1000 for DSP via Convolution files running on ROON for room issues. This will be a digital only system. | |
| What stations do you like that are available on Roon Live Radio? KCRW is currently (10 AM Friday) playing Marvin Gaye's What's Going on in its entirety on vinyl. Just because. I have a ROON playlist I created called KCRW. I add tunes to it whenever I hear something great on KCRW. I played it for the first time ... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? @richopp Thanks for the history lesson. I was 11 when that album came out so not that young. I still have it on regular rotation. I never realized that the album cover was so iconic. I just loved that photo, it reminded me of some Pete Townsend ph... | |

| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I am waiting on a Class D amp that will sound as good as my AHB2 monos but have much more power (2 Ohm). I was hoping that Purifi would release a second generation amp module but looking at their web site it seems they have moved onto driver desig... | |
| Help choosing an power amplifier I am using a $1500 D-Sonic M3a 800s Class D amp to drive a very hard to drive Thiel CS3.7. It is not as crystal clear as my Benchmark AHB2 ($3000) but it is much better suited power wise for the hard to drive CS3.7. It is also a little warmer than... | |
