Thoughts on the Peachtree Nova 300
I don't know if it is the best you can do, but yes, allot of bang for the buck. Good DAC, and amp provides plenty of detail.  Mine gets a tad bit harsh as the volume increases in my main system, so I moved it to my office system where it works wel... 
Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player
@arnold_h  Thanks for your input regarding using the 205 as preamp.  I will be retiring my AVR soon and plan to replace with 7-channel amplification in one configuration or another.  I'm planning to use my 205 as the preamp until either lack of e...

@mahler123  When you say "in", are you referring to HDMI from TV?  
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
@ghdprentice - Great input on these three manufacturers.  Interesting that an amp (Luxman) can possibly provide too much detail?  I had not thought about that.  I agree that the Motion 60’s are neither overly warm or bass heavy.  I would love to... 
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
@oldaudiophile  - I’m kind of surprised more people have not recommended Luxman.  I’m wondering if it is because they are not a good match for the Motion 60’s, or just because people have found Integrateds that they like better.  I do realize that... 
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
@oldaudiophile - Lots of great input here.  Simaudio is on my radar but would prefer not to pay for an onboard DAC.  Interesting that it stood out to you.  I would also like to know which Luxman you were listening to that you thought sounded virtu... 
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
@robert53 - Sorry, meant to say that the MF M6si500 was over my weight limit.  Probably more amp than I need anyway.  Thanks again for your input.  
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
@freediver – Reviews I’ve read for the Pathos amps are very encouraging.  No noise which was a concern.  A Heated Inversion Table sounds awesome but will take a big junk of change out of my Integrated piggy bank.  Thanks. @robert53 – Yes, MF is o... 
Integrated for Martin Login Motion 60’s?
Thank you for the tip on Pathos.  Unknown to me until now for some reason.  Yes, beautiful amp and much lighter than it looks.  I forgot to mention I am limited to approximately 50 lbs by my rack and my aching back.  The tubes make me a little ner... 
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I use my Node to stream from my Vault.  Does it make sense to upgrade power supply on the Node without upgrading the Vault?  It does not appear that Teddy Pardo offers a linear power supply for the Vault, and ... 
No Bass with 5-Channel Analog Inputs
Yes the FR/FL do respond to large/small speaker selection in the Oppo.I think I follow what you are suggesting here.  The Receiver may not be receiving/ processing the (.1) subwoofer signal?  I know it is not the Oppo since it has done the same th... 
No Bass with 5-Channel Analog Inputs
Yes, I have the Subwoofer connected to the Yamaha with bass setting set to "Both" so that my Mains and Sub share Bass frequencies.I see that some Receivers have feature to allow for +dbs boost for Subwoofer when using analog inputs.  Unfortunately... 
Thoughts on Peachtree Audio Nova300
I own one.  I like everything about it other than the volume control via the remote. 
Restoring vintage H/K Citation 19 Power Amp
I have three of these amplifiers as well, but have yet to perform any serious rehabilitation.  Unfortunately, there is not allot of information out there but if you have the time and patience, internet searches will provide you with a handful of f... 
3 budget speaker cable choices
I've been using both the 10 and 12 gauge Beldon 5000 from BJC now for awhile and have been satisfied with it.  When I heard all of the recent praise or the Canare, I knew I had heard of it before.  As others have mentioned, BJC offers it as well. ...
