DAC better than Denafrips Pontus II
I sold my Pontus 2 and bought an ANK 4.1x assembled by Digital Pete. Used they go for $2,500-$2,800.  For the same Pontus 2 @ $1,700 but  better SQ you would be looking at obscure stuff from eastern Europe. No features either. Keep the Pontus ... 
I'm looking to add sub-woofers to my system...
Buy 2 REL 5Ti's at $700 each new. Not ported, fast, clean.  All REL makes is Subs. Love mine.  
Will this amp work as described below:
I use a Pass Int25 in a slightly larger sized room with Fritz Carrera 7 BE's but at 70dB not 90.  I can not imagine the 30.8 not being able to throw you out a window. Seems like 90Db in 13 x 13 all you would hear is the room or am I crazy?  
EXPEREINCE WITH AYON
A yawn from here.  Find another brand.  
Soundstage drastically worsened when I replaced a solid state AV amp with tubes.
Return the 275 and call it a lesson learned.  
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
Used Threshold rebuilt by the guy in LA. Sorry do not know his name. Will outlast everything else you have. In your price range too!  
Help optimizing my streaming setup
UpTone Audio etherregen goes between hardwire ethernet from router before the streamer.  $640 Audible Improvement.     
New DAC or New Streamer?
Latik, I tried Innuos Sense briefly when first out and I had issues with functionality so I went back to Roon where my libraries reside. I have heard respected makers state the reason they do not incorporate Roon is the SQ degradation they fou... 
Who Here Is Running an AudioNote System and are you In Love?
You won't find much response I fear.  Go to the April Axpona show in Chicago and hear it for yourself. It is very good.  
New DAC or New Streamer?
Recently I attended a Linn presentation of their newest DAC/Streamer $45K? not sure.  As they outlined all the new improvements I asked which part improves the SQ most? Immediate reply-the DAC.   For your situation Aurender is good but pricey.... 
Fritz Carrera or other possibilities!
The S/B Acoustics 29 BE tweeter is fine with my sensitive ears. This is what John is using in the current Carrera iteration. The 7" Mid woofer by Scan Speak is similar to one used by Wilson.     I use a small REL sub with them.   During the... 
Does anyone know of a repair service for Lamm amplifiers?
I'd check with the packers in Green Bay, WI   
Too much power?
In the know Maggie owners all say that the more power the better. Sanders certainly does.  Clipping does not sound good.   I listen at 60-70dB max as well. People have advised me that planar or electrostatics would be best for me. Female vocal... 
Zu for Pass Labs?
My INT25 makes any box sound great!  
3 Level, 40-44" wide, Well built for Isolation-Gear Stand-Where/Who?
This is what I appreciate about this forum. I needed direction and got it. Thanks my friends! I looked at each company mentioned. I think buellboy nailed it. Was what I had been thinking. A DIY custom to my size and desires. Will keep you post...
