| Luxman L-509X If you have $10K and are considering a Luxman, I cannot buy used on this one since I went and demoed them (will buy new) but for someone open to a used purchase. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649568734-luxman-m-900u-and-c-900u-as-new/images/... | |
| Lumin D2 or Mytek Brooklyn Bridge for Tidal, Quboz Listen to the Sabre chips from the guys who know those chip better than anyone else, https://www.resonessencelabs.com/ , they helped design the chips.

| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? @noble100 Funny that I am thinking of going the opposite direction as you. Being on the "other side" for a while with the Benchmark gear I would recommend you try the AHB2 amp and the LA4 preamp on the 30 day FREE trial. That is a neutral combo an... | |
| Benchmark LA4 Preamp? I owned the Benchmark DAC3 and AHB2 so I know the sound well. The LA4 is supposed to be just like the AHB2, that is silent as space. With that in mind I was considering pairing the preamp with a warm sounding amp. Those plans are in the back burne... | |
| I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers Sorry to hear about the cancer. I was not sure if it is cool to post the next sentence, but I decided to do so. If you have Brain cancer make sure your docs know about Gammatile, https://www.gtmedtech.com/Smaller 3 way floor standers that work ... | |
| Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated I got pulled away to put my kid to sleep before I could finish my thought.There is a interesting review of 3 of the top semi-affordable integrateds.https://www.hegel.com/images/reviews/H390hificriticuk.pdf AMPLIFIER GROUP TEST - Hegel H390 vs Kre... | |
| Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated @whyOwhy I was going to suggest the Hegel 390 if you raised another 3 grand.However, I realized you have the same issue as I do. You need to fit a big speaker into a small room. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier @gb9746 Thanks for the feedback on the preamp section of the integrated. I am going to demo the STR integrated and the Lyngdorf 2170 for preamp duty (both have DSP) but I am really interested in the STR preamp if I decide to go with the Anthem.Goo... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I am curious as to what criteria should be used to determine how the #8 should be ordered.#1 150 watts w/18 watts pure class A#2 250 watts w/12 watts pure class A#3 350 watts w/8 watts pure class AI am thinking the sensitivity of the speakers an... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier @gb9746 Are you planning on getting a separate preamp and replace the STR integrated, or did I misunderstand and you are using the STR preamp and not STR integrated. | |
| Options besides a computer for streaming Something with a built-in media player and Ethernet input will likely not require a computer, maybe a tablet or smart phone with browser for operation. | |
| Internally Balanced cables supporting AES48 Standard I can also add the Anthem STR Preamp as supporting AES48Sorry for the delay, please see attached.

| Should I defrag my 1.5 TB HDD BEFORE transfering files to a SSD? OR... Do not defrag SSD drives. Your OS will likely preclude you from proceeding. There is no benefit to defrag SSD vs rotating disk drive. The rotating drive has a head that must scan across the rotating drive to find the sequences of data. The more cl... | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? @mofojo I emailed Lyngdorf and asked whether the system is diminished, especially Room Perfect, if I used an external amp.Me: "I am interested in the 3400 integrated. I would like to clarify if ROOM PERFECT processing can be outputted via the ana... | |
| Anthem STR or Lyngdorf TDAI 2170? @mofojo Thanks for the feedback. I have demoed the Lyngdorf and I thought the preamp section was perfect for me. I was not a fan of the amp section so we tried an expensive external amp at the demo and it was lights out great. Now this may have be... |
