Schumann Resonator
I will say, I am not a cool aide drinker, never have been. In fact, I am the guy that looks to refute the popular norm. Particularly anything that might look too good to be true. After researching the SG, it seems to have some veracity. Not only i... 
Schumann Resonator
Being a pulse frequency, I not sure any speaker made could produce the wave. My simple understanding is, it is a low frequency magnetic pulse that helps nullify EMI etc. On the music front, I liken it to a subwoofer’s effect on bringing in the who... 
Anyone else treated poorly by AVA?
These small shops are doing the best they can, I’ve got a piece on order from Decware. Their usual turn time is 6ish weeks. Currently it is 4 to 6 months. So the guy didn’t call you about his head guy having to go out of town, while I understand y... 
Help my analog sound as good as my streaming
Yeah, vinyl is a flawed thing, but so great too. I agree about new pressings and remastered. Most just aren’t good, but some are. I’ve purchased many “new” albums, only to later seek out the original copies. I would think I would learn. Digital ca... 
SQ vs. Music
Oh, tough one, sort of. Being a musician I tend to hear differently. Different things stick out, different things are less noticed. Being a drummer the rhythm is what hits me, lyrical content, hardly ever. So what I hear is very important to what ... 
Schumann Resonator
Well, I just got mine... I got the shiny one with pretty lights. $35ish. Just plugged it in, I don’t know what it is doing, but it IS doing something. My system is no slouch and my room is as treated as it can be practically speaking... and damn, ... 
Schumann Resonator
Yeah, I bought one over the weekend. Intriguing to say the least, not even from the audio perspective but from the potential health perspective. From what I gather, given the ultra low frequencies is it acts like a sub would in terms of snapping e... 
Can't believe I let myself get sucked in again.
Then there is bipolar vs mosfet... that’s always good. The Node is great to explore world music. I’m all over vinyl, but it really is limiting in the exploratory realm... I don’t buy vinyl on a whim. I do stream on a whim and then find stuff to bu... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Pantera... History of Hostility(wife is out with friends!) 
REL HT series subs for music?
My dealer said no on the HT’s for 2 channel, just not fast enough. Great for movies (hence the Home Theater HT). Try a T or S series. The T9i is a real surprise... excellent little sub for the #. If going with a swarm concept they may work a bit b... 
Parasound a21 upgrades
For a single box a JC5 for sure. Mono’s JC1s. I agree with Eric, PC’s are a great add Parasound gear seems to like Shunyata power. Not much else really. You are getting into the price realm when there are so many great options, it’s really tough t...

Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60
What YYZ said regarding the demos. That is the best bet. OP didn’t mention anything about speakers or room... so the bipolar vs mosfet discussion has nothing to do with the original question.Get a demo from Reno... make a direct comparison. It is ... 
Speaker set up and IRREGULAR rooms.
Ditto on the bass traps. You are kind of beating yourself on the head with a hammer until you get the room under better control. I had similar issues, added some room correction, tightened everything right up. Not perfect, but that’s nearly imposs... 
BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
Ethernet. Check Blue Jeans cables for cat6 cables. Well priced, and actually tested, with throughput results. My Node sits 3ft from my hub, there is no question wired is better than WiFi...
