BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high)
I started digesting the manual... this thing is incredible.  I mainly bought this for its feature set and its ability to apply crossfeed to my headphone amp.   I also bought it on the advice of several people in pro audio circles that had direct e... 
BlueSound Node 2i > RME ADI2 DAC > NAD 316 BEE v2 > Dali Rubicon 5 (volume too high)
I'm currently using a NAD M51 which is pretty good , I'm on the fence whether to sell it.  I think I'm just going to keep it for the heart of a 2.1 system in my tv room in the near future

Quicksilver audio silver 88 mono amps
You can not go wrong with any Quicksilver amp.....  built like tanks, simple, reliable.  I have a pair of Mid Monos and they are awesome.  Listening to them right now !  I have had a few tubes fail but never a problem, the fuse reacted on each occ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Dirt....one of my all time favs.  Need to take that one for a spin again.  Don't forget one of the best live recordings ever, Unplugged.   
RME ADI-2 DAC FS is it "All That", especially for under $2,000?
I just ordered this DAC.... can't wait !    I'm using a NAD M51 which is a fine DAC so the comparison should be interesting.    One of the reasons I bought this DAC is to use its crossfeed circuit with my Quicksilver headphone amp.  That along wit...

Comparing the Magnepan .7 to the Klipsch Heresy II
The Heresy is more fun to listen to, especially with great tube amplification.  I'm using HIII with 40w of el34 power and it's more than plenty.   My brother uses his HIi with a 15 watt amp , and still plenty of power.... 15 wattsI will take the e... 
40th Anniversary Pre Amp and Repair History
I've never read of more horror stories than Audio Research amplifiers.  It seems like every tube failure requires a trip to the factory.   It seems unbelievable to me that they have such a following.  I think the question I'd like to ask is how ma... 
Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers
They went plenty loud and.sounded great with 40 watts of EL34 goodness.  I also used them with a McCormack 125 and they didn't disappoint.     They are one of the few small speakers I've used that maintain their composure at louder , more realisti... 
How many people here generally buy used?
You can get into a better calibre of equipment buying used.  I bought my amps used and paid about 1/2.... they were about a year and a half old and mint so it was a no brainer.....   My latest component rarely appears used so I just bit the bullet... 
Your "Best of..." audio manufacturer in each state
There used be a ton of mfg. in Massachusetts.  Now only a few come to mind, Bricasti. Nordost,  Aerial... that's all I can think of .   
Vtl 5.5 series 1, David Berning TF-10 or Melos SHA-Gold?
You can buy the Quicksilver with remote for $1500 , three year warranty but unlikely you will need to exercise it
