| Best single volume guide to classical music Funny that you pose this question as I am looking at what I have been using as I read your post. In any event you may want to check out Penguin Guide to the 1000 Best Classical recordings. What I have is a 2011 version so perhaps there is a newer... | |

| The Audiophile Upgrade Easiest to Ignore I as well have had to go that journey. Too many missed words my partner talking about sounds from my speakers like brushes or cymbals I wasn’t hearing Testing showed a deficit at around 8 k if I recall. i ended up getting Phillips aids at Cost... | |
| New Pass Labs Go To Indeed, Marc was a special breed. I called him about 10 years ago to discuss amplifiers and we decided that an integrated 250 would be a good choice for me. Without a credit card, or identification he sent me the app to try for 30 days telling m... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Having heard both and now owning alexia v’s as long as your room isn’t too small you won’t regret making the change the daws are clearly a step up. Much better presence and soundstage as has been stated if you can try them that of course would ... | |

| Larry Coryell / Miroslav Vitous Quartet Spaces w Coryell John McLaughlin and Viteos is a great album as well | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k You could try and find a used dcs bartok in the price range you reference and it would let you keep roon.. I had an Aurender a10 ...for me roon is a much better platform than the Aurender. software... | |
| Pass Labs Speaker Choices I have a Int 250 which I used initially with Magnepan 3.7 and rel subs which sounded great. i then went to Wilson Sasha 2 which for me had a more detailed presence and better imaging. The pass has plenty of power and both speakers had/have great ... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Same here . I had Aurender and then purchased a new dac so went with Roon. No regrets -bought the lifetime For me it is more user friendly and I really enjoy its integration features which I’ don’t remember the Aurender app having. the Aurend... | |
| Your thoughts on selling I just went through this process in selling my collection. I hadn’t been playing my records and wasn’t going to move them again. I looked at trying to sell them like you are considering but ultimately decided that was way too much work and brain d... | |
| Current Pass integrateds? I have the Int-250 which I use to power Wilson Sasha 2's and before them Maggie 3.7's...I am quite happy with my sound now and what they did for the Mag. I have had them about 9 years without a problem. They can go quite loud if you need them to ... | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? I actually use both in the sense that I use a TP powerline for the ethernet connection to my DAC(main floor) but use comcast mesh for roon to connect to my core (computer in upstairs room). Router is in basement. It drops occasionally (connection... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio if pass labs is too much you might want to try Bryston or maybe Parasound. I have heard the maggies with Bryston amps and it was really good. Whatever you do make sure you get enough juice. I had a really nice classe integrated that with 150/225 w... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio I haven't really compared versions but when I listened through tidal and my system it sounded pretty good. that being said. you will enjoy your maggies. I had them and paired them with Pass Int-250 and added Rel subs. Sounded great. Can't rememb... |
