| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? @lewm +1 yep. you got it. You know -- about the 911's. Ahem. | |
| Streamer only @alvinnir2 I do! She was great. In a way, I liked the typo, because there are streaming options for $100. Not great, but doable. Viz., https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/how-to-build-your-own-low-cost-high-performance-streamer/ | |
| Streamer only @alvinnir2 He said $1000 not $100. | |
| Considering a Hegel preamp I have not owned a Hegel but was researching SS preamps recently. McCormack fell onto my list, but I have not seen one used so have not pulled the trigger. Other preamps which gained my attention were Herron, Belles, Atoll, Ayre, and Van Alstine's... | |
| Not to be missed at Axpona You wife goes all three days -- at the show with you? Hang on to her. She's a keeper. | |
| To upgrade a separate power supply? Look here and here. | |
| Streamer only OP, I tried the Bluesound Node and external LPS with good results. Reliable and easy to use. Those who have recommended Aurender, Innous, Lumin are ignoring your price constraints. They are double and more your limits. | |

| Qualities Of An End-game System The need to reproduce the musical venue is one function of a system. I like to call it the "Disney World" function, because it produces the kind of illusions which trick and delight children of all ages. Other musical pieces are masterpieces of c... | |
| Qualities Of An End-game System The OP's description strikes me as "first level audiophile" not "end game." "End game" indicates a superlative system, one which likely cannot be bettered. This hobby is filled with hyperbolic descriptions. If we want to talk seriously, we need... | |
| Anyone hear or own Musical Technology (Heil AMT's) speakers? Very cool! | |
