Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
The Orchard products sound more compelling to me than the Atma-Sphere monos. More power maybe? Not heard the AGD gear yet. Class D with GanFet or something along those lines is the future. The Euros have been doing it well for sometime now.  It i... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I have always striven to assemble a system which is:   1) Outside the norm achieving unforeseen results 2) As pleasing to the ear as a system costing 10X   To me this is worthwhile goal. Spending endless sums to achieve the next "high" is tr... 
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
nyev  did you say you had measured the power to see how bad it is? Ever try an ADD-POWR  Sorcer X4 ?  They seem to work well with bad power  systems. If you live in the NW or So Cal I can help you try one.  
Help . . . I’m dumber than my active speakers!
The D&Ds have built-in room correction and can be setup all the way against the back wall.  They also have a deal with Bache to give you the surround sound effect. They take a while to set up. I had them done by an expert who did it right but ... 
Is it even possible to get a factory authorized dealer to give a discount?

roon sound wasn't as good

Buy a Sony  
Visit to Mike Lavigne's house
Mike's system is something to behold. I heard some magic there. BTW "Magic" is the moment you hear music through a system and it sounds live. Only lasts a second but damn that second is a forever memory. Love to see him embark on a building pro... 
Tube tester
I seem to run across tube testers for $200-$300. Why $1,000 for this one?    
Help me pair the KEF R11 Metas...?
Never buy a speaker without hearing it first. Is it returnable?  
Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600
No No Nannette!    
recommend PRAT Integrated amplifiers (not Naim)

DAC vs Music Server
Are you comparing Streamers to Streamer/DAC combos?  
Revival Audio Atalante 3 vs Fritz Carbon 7 SE MKII
Check out this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1066869750969891 If you want the Fritz then buy the other model Carrera 7 BE. $2,800. Get a little REL sub like the 7Tx. Never heard the Atlantics and B&Ws are ear burners.
