What should be mandatory in every professional published review-
@johnread57  where have I gone? Nowhere; just seeing how this has taken on a life of its own

2nd systems- who’s got one?

Aurender Conductor latest fail…

2022 - Ideal Network Transport
I have what I think is a pretty decent system (curious? see my profile). I decided to explore the streaming world in 2021 and bought a new node, which I am highly impressed by. It is far from perfect, but for a budget piece of equipment it makes t... 
Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned?
@boothroyd the SD455 was a  nice motor; cool choice!
