RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000?
Hi Brad,I had the RME in my last system and loved it. Very revealing and versatile. I didn’t think the UI was that bad. The manual is very detailed but once you get the hang of it it’s fine. With me it was set it and forget it. I really found that... 
DIY Acoustic Panels
Has anyone used "Duck Canvas" for DIY Panels? Is it not transparent enough? 
DIY Acoustic Panels
@aux/ millerI was going to do a 4” thick PVC frame with recycled cotton baffle insulation. Initially thinking that a closed back might be better at least with airflow and sometimes I get water down my chimney when it rains. I ordered some burlap f...

What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear
@jab interesting comment. Obviously no appreciation of the music industry and its roots. Why are so many artists still releasing on vinyl then? You shouldn’t even be on this forum IMO. 
What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear
I think it depends on a lot of factors. Album condition, what pressing, how popular is the music etc. I disagree with the fact that Lps will be worth nothing. I subconsciously sold off most of my cd collection but still held on to my vinyl. They a... 
Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
@deanshias Even though Dan burns in the mod. I find that it took a day or so of playing to really start opening up. Not sure if those JJ6922 tubes need some time but I really hear noticeable improvements with everything I throw at it. 
Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
 @jafant So my system is going through some real drastic changes.presently Krell Digital Vanguard-SR Blue Fuse, Shunyata Delta PC, Pioneer LX500 Modwright analog out with Audioquest Sydney.I use an external RME-ADI-2 DAC(find that superior to the ... 
Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
So I know it’s not the same but I have a Krell Digital Vanguard pushing the Pioneer Mod to my Vandersteen 2ces and I hear a big difference. More air and like I said revealing and dynamic. I would think with the treos you will hear the difference. ... 
Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
@deanshias.   Whats the rest of your system? 
Is the Modwright for an Oppo udp205 worth it?
I modded my Pioneer LX500 and it completely changed my listening experience. Very resolving and dynamic.  Dan is a visionary when it comes to tube modifications, but his work is not cheap. I guess it all depends on the rest of your system whether ... 
Abbey Road MoFi or Reissue
I’m seeing 1st pressings of Abbey Road ‘69 between $100-150 vs. the MoFi for like $60. I’ve seen some reviews on YouTube which say the original or 84 pressings are so much more revealing. Mofi is quieter but all around quiet. Not sure I like that....

Recommendations for Preamp for Balanced SPL Performer s800
@atmasphere So I was looking at 3-4K which is what the SPL Director MK2 is. But was hoping to get some tubes into the mix. Has to have balanced outputs though.thanksRene 
Time to get up to speed (somewhat) with digital.
Does your Air have a usb out? That's the way to go but if you use Audrivana then you might not have enough processing speed. If it's just iTunes then you should be okay. Not sure if it does but I use my MAcBook Pro into an RME-ADI-2 DAC. Superb re...
