STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
For all who use the Innuos/Roon/Qobuz combo as I do try comparing SQ of the above vs Innuos Sense-i.e Roon off. It is free if you have not tried it. Go to my.innuos.com and turn off Roon. Perhaps other makers besides Innuos have a similar opti... 
Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp)
Either a Pass Labs INT25 of something similiar from Luxman. Both produce great sound.  I do like the sound of Pass Labs.   
STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES
Okay let's stir the pot.  1. Roon Software degrades SQ 2. Spotify and Apple sound better than Qobuz or Tidal 3. MQA is a waste of time 4. A Streamer without a Ripper and Storage is not a smart buy. 5. Tapping into a good source of new music i... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
30.2's, AudioNote Hemp, Spendor 1/2s, Have enjoyed them. Not syrupy though. I think what you are looking for is a resonant cabinet design. I have a pair  of old Spendors with my INT25.

ARC Reference 6 or Cary SLP 05 with upgrade?
My mentor love's the Cary 05. If I stayed with separates I would have it. At near double the price is the Ref6E. A friend just bought one and he loves it. I doubt you would be displeased with either.  Nice sleuthing.  
Congratulations Atmasphere!
I met Ralph briefly at Axpona this spring as he was debuting the new Class D ganfet monoblocks. Anthony had already sung the praises of them to me. I am waiting for the Integrated version. To see two dyed in the wool tubers convert to class D was ... 
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
If you bought a Rolex and saw "Made in China" on the back you would be unhappy. So return the speakers using the reason you mentioned. If you don't you will never feel good about them. Once the shell is cracked ... I am sure that most makers who...

Looking for a good full range floor stander
Nothing without good room correction sound very good in a small hotel room. Jim Salk was kind enough to agree to participate in an event in June our club put on. We had legitimate rooms, 19 x 29 x 12. His speakers were excellent sounding. Salk doe... 
First Post- what not to do
Only lightly water any planted pots resting on top of speakers. 
(Brutally) Honest Audio Reviews
Let's hope this is the Beta version.  The Magico review mentions two different models, both 7's however I believe the S and the Q are in different leagues? 
Thoughts wanted for new speaker design
If you can sell a bookshelf at $4,000 which is a good as Joseph Pulsars,I would buy a pair. 86db with a 5 1/2 woofer + tweeter. He uses SEAS.Are they too pricey to meet the $4k price. Only goes to down to 40hz butsomehow it seems much lower. 
Help selecting a new preamp
if you enjoy a very loud clicking sound as you adjust the volumethen the Schiit may be just right for you. You mention simplicity and minimum signal path as goals.Look in US Audio Mart or Audiogon for a rebuilt Audible IllusionsL3 if like me you m...
