Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683
I ended up getting a Denon X3700H. Since this is mainly a home theater setup I wanted to stick with an AVR. After running through the Audyssey setup it sounds great. The speakers blend together much better in surround sound and the two-channel sou...

Thanks for the replies @soix and @deep_333, really appreciate it.1) I see a lot of dual sub posts on reddit r/audiophile. I will definitely plan on upgrading the sub, could always get a second down the road.2) I already have a pretty nice two-chan...

Your last concert was to see who and when?
Tommy Emmanuel last September. One of the greatest shows I have ever seen. An amazing guitar player and musician. Don't miss him! 
Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre
I am leaning heavily towards the Fusion DAC Pre. I like the Bluetooth feature, I want some tubes in my system, and I've always liked the looks of Jolida products. My Parasound arrived and I have been using my Marantz SR6005 as a pre-amp, since I d...

Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre
