Streamer Upgrade
@curiousjim, in all honesty its hard to say. I had the Node 2i before and bought this Node second hand already upgraded. I never got to A/B them but I will say that I am quite happy with it. I got it for a good deal considering how much just the p... 
Streamer Upgrade
@jazzman7. Yeah, that's a good call out. I guess I could still use the Node on a different source.   
Streamer Upgrade
@jazzman7  thanks for sending this. This unit looks awesome but the wife wouldn’t be happy without Spotify connect. I love TMR too.   
Streamer Upgrade
Thanks @soix, I like the thought of that a lot but it doesn't seem that it has Spotify compatibility. I personally use Qobuz but no Spotify would be a deal breaker for the wife. Great option otherwise though.   
Streamer Upgrade
Thanks again @blisshifi. Maybe one day I could get to the N30SA level. I was planning on spending about $3k on a streamer. The Lumin U2 Mini and the Auralic Aries G1.1 were the 2 that seemed the most do-able right now.   
Streamer Upgrade
Awesome post. Thanks @blisshifi. I'm assuming that you are using a Aurender currently?  
JBL L100 Classic 75's - Thoughts, Impressions, Serial Numbers
I absolutely love mine. They really shine with quality gear behind it and at medium listening levels IMHO. Best speaker that I've ever owned.

@heterodon - I know that I'm bringing back an old thread but I just did this as well based off of your post and am blown away. The music is floating! I just used a pair of Straight Wire Encore II's that I had. Thanks so much for the tip!!

That's awesome @nonoise! I may try that down the road. I still feel like I haven't gotten to hear mine yet. I took delivery on them and didn't worry too much with placement etc because we were moving, we moved, took me a while to get everything si...

@ja_kub_sz Woahhhh haha what a ride! So were you just using the R1000’s preamp section with the JC1+ mono blocks?

JBL L100 Classic 75's - Thoughts, Impressions, Serial Numbers
I've spent about a week with them (100ish hrs) and think that they are incredible. They seem to keep getting better and better.

Thanks! I'm really excited about them. These don't seem this way to me but I am moving in 2 weeks so we'll see what the new room does. I'm really just trying to run them in right now as I don't want to waste time on placement and tweaking knowing ... 
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
I went with a McIntosh MA6900 integrated and am super happy with the decision. I liked the idea of the 6900 because it's all analog, no built in DAC. I can get my separate fix from swapping out DAC's. I even added a Schiit Valhalla 2 in between my... 
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
I have the Elac Vela's and feel that they sound phenomenal. They're 4ohm speakers. MSRP is $2800.
