| Streaming YouTube It’s amusing seeing the hi-fi system videos that are on YouTube. I don’t know how you could possibly hear what loud speakers could do using the YouTube medium | |
| I am considering a luxman 3600 tube amp as my first adventure into tube amplifiers? Good advice from Elliot | |
| Qobuz + Lumin = Headache John, When I opened a Lumin I found it took a day to learn the application and then it worked pretty well. The sound quality of the LUMIN with their digital volume control was just outstanding | |
| The New NSMT Model 75 Loudspeaker I have a pair headed my way | |
| Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4) I went from a LUMIN T2 a Weiss 501. Granted, the Weiss cost twice as much as the LUMIN but the Weiss portrayed natural tone, space and dynamics more realistically. I am a Roon user and that was a must-have feature.

| Question about optimizing streaming network. I use an IFi power x for both of my FMC boxes. The Ifi on the FMC closest to my front end made a very noticeable improvement but the other one connected via ethernet cable to my router, not as much | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? I had exactly the same experience when swapping out the wall wart power supply on my fiber media converter boxes. It had an immediate and very noticeable positive improvement. I was shocked | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Hilde nailed it | |
| What are your top three favorite classical compositions? Bach Goldberg variations, Elgar enigma variations, Beethoven’s seventh Symphony | |
| What was the first CD with great drums?? Planet Drum | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? It is superfluous. It was worthwhile when bandwidth was very limited and I think that was the approach MQA was taking. I do not want to stream lossy files | |
