| Who remembers California Audio Labs? @bojack You have a point- I did have to have my Icon repaired a few times. Fortunately, almost all of my hifi gear has been trouble-free. | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? @audphile1 yes- XP-20 and X250.8. I've owned both since 2015 and love them. | |
