| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC I was at a show in LA that did a head to head-to-head comparison with MQA and non-MQA. This system was using a T+A HV 3100 integrated + external T+A HV power supply. It was driving Wilson Alexa 2 (I think). The MQA dac was an expensive one which I... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 You do not need to replace the 509x since it is rather good. However, as someone who has recently did a head-to-head comparison with the Luxman m900u amp and the 509x integrated. I can say that to my ears the m900u is leagues ahead of the 509x, co... | |

| Selling my dads top of the line system I bought Revel Salon 1 used 20 years ago. I rented a pickup truck and drove 4 hours to Los Angeles to pick them up. I had a certified check for $10K and gave it to the seller in person after I saw the speakers were in the condition I wanted. | |
| DAC/Streamers Under 10k - Mytek, PS Audio... @in_shore The AudioByte looks rather interesting. Can you post your feedback on the demo you will do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojFKx5QREYE | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I think the taste for music in my case is genetic. My folks tell me as a baby I was the most content with a small transistor radio in my crib. I remember as a 10 year+ listening to the radio on a broken single Sony speaker until 6AM because the mu... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system The Music Room web site TMRaudio.com is another place that can buy and sell your dad's gear. Audiogon requires you to have to do more of the leg work but you should get slightly more here than at TMR. https://tmraudio.com/ | |

| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Let me add a little more on GIK. The remote sound technician that designed my room panels, via telephone and photos told me to contact him in the future if I needed further assistance.I am going to buy new speakers for my small home office. I want... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? When I was younger I was not able to afford any album or disk. I had to rationalize a purchase so that limited the amount of music I heard. Today, those albums and disks that I did not buy I can hear in entirely and I am happy to learn some of tho... | |
| Benchmark HPA4 and LA4 Preamps The AHB2 is really great. It gives you a clear sound like nothing I have ever heard. I loved it with my KEF LS50's. I sold it to raise funds not because I disliked it. I would like to get the AHB2 for my LS50's in the future (2 future classic pie... |
