Mola Mola Makua and Kartugas or Preamp and Merrill Veritas?
For class D I would be interested to see what Mr Puztey's new class D designs sounds like. He is the king of Class D. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruno-putzeys-1946597/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/purifi-audio/ They were saying the the g... 
Yamaha NS 5000
@jtgofish Thanks for the time to find the photo. You actually mentioned that to me more than a year ago in a private conversation. I currently have some acoustic panels behind my current speakers that maybe are doing the same thing. I think mine a... 
Yamaha NS 5000
@jetter I have a bigger room downstairs, it is 21'L x 12'W (+5 on entrance) x 25'H. I cannot put anything there for a few years because my toddler is the boss of that room at the moment. Once he gets about 18 months older I was thinking of putting... 
Yamaha NS 5000
This was not a big bx store, I do not think they sell the 5000 series at these big stores. Shelley’ s in Los Angeles area, where I went, is a super high end store. http://www.shelleysstereo.com/ The other stores in the USA that have them are also... 
KEF Reference 207/2s or Blade 2
Blades need good electronics but you do not need to go crazy with that to get really good sound. I heard the Blades with a $4k Hegel integrated and the sound was something I could own and not go crazy thinking about upgrading. The Blades are incre... 
Krell K-300i vs Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
I have Lyngdorf 2170 to use as room correction and eq presets rather than Dac and amplifier.Can you explain how you do this? Do you have a tape loop on your preamp?

Yamaha NS 5000
I went and demoed the Yamaha NS 5000 with the 5000 series Yamaha preamp and amp (so $35K of Yamaha gear + Linn streamer + wire).It was a huge disappointment to see the room the Yamaha was setup in. It was a conference room a little bigger than my ... 
Streaming music
@willgolf My understanding is that the Lumin X1 is the only DAC with a fiber optical input. Have you tried this fiber optical input with something as simple as the following for $200, https://www.ui.com/unifi-switching/unifi-switch-8-150w/ If so... 
dissapointed - new LS50w's vs old PioneerFS52's/Luxman R113 - so far Kef's not so great?
@audiocanada I would get some isoacoustic stands to place on the desk with the speakers on top of them. I had the LS50s (not LS50W) like that and it was a nice improvement. I know the wireless has DSP but raising of the desktop should make the DSP... 
Need suggestions for a $1500 used system for my daughter.......
I use the Peachtree Nova 150 with KEF LS50’s. It is a great sounding system for the price. I have had better electronics on the LS50’s but they cost a lot more. The Peachtree is a very good unit, especially the new stuff without the tubes. I think... 
Richard Kern modified Sony SCD-777 ES - what to replace it with
I have a modded Sony SCD-1 SACD from Vacuum State (Level 5+) and putting it back into my system reminded me how enjoyable it is. I was considering going all digital with my next system upgrade, but I realized I wanted to have some analog inputs so...

@andrewinukm Are u referring to the Audience 1+1? I had the latest version of that and had a heck of a time getting the setup and imaging to work properly in my small office. It improved once I added some room treatments but I decided to keep the ...
