👍 I respect your taste :)  
King Crimson
And yet no love for the McDonald and Giles album 🤔  
King Crimson
If you like King Crimson, listen to McDonald and Giles only album, a masterpiece! They are two of the original members of King Crimson. Fripp was very distraught when Ian McDonald left the band. Listen to the album and you'll see why. Ian passed a... 
It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it!
Balance control makes sense even if hardly ever used in my case. It is God sent for hard of hearing in one ear, and may even be advantageous for normal hearing folks to better center the sound on some questionable recordings. More options is alway... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
One thing I have learned about any blog, it is best to never get personal with any other blogger, whether you disagree or agree with them. Keeping it neutral is the surest way to retain your sanity.    
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Preamp is the brain of the system, so many pieces of audio/video equipment to hook up to it. I guess if all you have is a DAC, you could bypass it but I would never be able to live with just a DAC.  
I treated my room !
Always nice to see members realizing the importance of room acoustics rather than relying mainly on equipment upgrades. It all works together!

Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
I don't know anything about the NAD, but  I had my own experience with the Ares 2. It is now on my secondary system and hardly played at all because I have a separate listening room which makes it nearly impossible to listen to music anywhere else... 
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?

@jl1ny  I just saw your room layout. It seems that you have it backwards. Putting the coach as close as possible to the bar/stools and flipped around. Putting the speakers close to the southern wall would change your bass drastically. I honestly ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
While shopping for a new preamp, I saw an interesting you tube discussion from two employees in a canadian audio shop I believe. Both were well versed in the PS Audio and Mc Intosh lines and were comparing a $9,000 Mc Intosh (forgot model #) vs. t... 
Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy?
Unfortunately the preamp is really the brain of the system and impossible to dismiss. So much so that I just forked out for a PS Audio BHK preamp. Should get it mid week 🙂  
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
Just jumping in this discussion. For the last 8 years I have used speakers with very decent bass, the Ascend Acoustic Sierra towers and now the PBN MONTANA XPS towers. Both can get the job done but the dual subs I have puts them in a totally diffe...
