Amps for KEF Blade 2
I have had the Blade2 for two days. Using my NAD C298 amp and it's going swimmingly.   
Anyone upgraded from Zu Omen DWs to a different Zu speaker?
The Omen Def are delish. Buy those. Also owned the DW. Also Union. Also Druid.  
Amp or Integrated amps for SVS Ultra Towers
NAD C298. Your amp for life (and mine).  
SVS Ultra Towers....
I'm 6 months in on mine and they make me so happy I have to tinkle.   
Krell fpb 600 svs ultra tower
Get a NAD C658, what I use, it's so good it makes me tinkle.

@vidya46 How's the break in going? Note I bought another pair; huge fyne fan.   
Schiit Sol turntable owners out there?
I sold the Sol a few weeks ago. Listed on the mart, sans cart, for $500 and it sold in 30 minutes. New owner very happy with it. I dug the Sol but my ladyfriend wouldn't touch it. I don't blame her, that thing was like playing jenga. Bought a clea... 
Radio Paradise has done it again!

Trouble in Paradise: My Sony HAPZ1ES is Dead!
Also an owner, fortunately mine seems bulletproof going on 5 years now. The good news is, even with worst scenario: pull out the drive and transfer over. A bummer but at least your library is intact.   
Dirac Live - horrible? Dont work
Nightmare is when your house is flattened by a tornado, not when an app doesn't work.

@vidya46 Hiya I've owned the F501 for a year now. I dig them so much I just ordered a nearly new set of F502 from Gene Rubin Audio, they arrive in 2 days.  😃 I've owned so many speakers, around 20, in the last 25 years. I recently sold off my big... 
Dirac - worth activating?
Good topic for me, have to jump in. I have the NAD C658 preamp, the free dirac version (up to 500hz) is included. I'm only using that freebie so far, and I only toggle on when playing vinyl. I used the included microphone on the 15ft cord btw to ... 
Unfair Competition: Orchard Audio Bosc Monoblocks vs. Pass Labs XA30.8
I bought a DIY assembled Starkrimson amp (same modules as the monos) a coupla months back, digging it. Open, clear, runs cool. I wish it had more gain. Stock gain ~16db. Prior SS amp was a big Classic DAC Cherry, wish I could AB but traded to a b...
