Lumin Ap on Lumin players - not so good?
Oh my God just get roon.    Functionality is far superior.  Spotify was kind of nice to but they don't have quality recordings to listen to.  Which is really sad because they have really super playlists. I have been using roon for quite a while ...

It's clear to me that one of these interfaces are designed they don't take into account the user. The companies hire an outside firm to design the interface and that is presented and a big conference room setting it looks really great.  But then ...

App needs to be more intuitive. Descriptive words need to be added somewhere on the app screen. It's not a teaching moment every time I use it. Maybe if they offered courses at a community college. It's really sad, such a great Engine with a ni...

The lumen app it's something that can be useful but it does require lots of effort to learn it.  The problem is if you stay away from it for a few weeks or so and don't use it very much you have to learn it again. It is an extremely difficult app... 
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
I doubt many $40,000 amplifiers are sold.  Ie. $80,000 for a pair. I'm wondering what parts or part makes this amplifier really nice.  Yes it has a very expensive parts I hope but are we talking about merely craftsmanship and R&D that makes i...

The problem with the high priced audio gear is that the marketing information that accompanies this gear is horrifying.  It's just a lot of crap meant to be read by people who don't know what they're doing.  The dealers don't really understand wha... 
Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising?
Holmz , Clearly you understand impedance and volts and ohms, with respect to their relationships to all the various pieces of gear.  This is quite a feat to accomplish in my opinion. Are you of the school that sees a difference between a longer ... 
Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising?
Correction, they offer one solid state preamplifier with no phono stage , but no pure lion stage tube preamps They always like to stuff things with a photo stage or headphone amplifier. Not interested in solid state preamplifiers hey sixfrom McI... 
VAC preamps - too expensive?
Trinnov it's a nice unit but very few people you 16 channels. If you're only using seven or eight channels which is quite a bit, this unit would seem wasteful. Not sure all the excess bodes well for good sound. Would be nice if Home theater proc...

Mcintosh should do a line stage  
VAC preamps - too expensive?
I'm looking at the Conrad Johnson Gat2 which provides all the functionality you need inside a home theater. Their internal design is simplified as well.    
VAC preamps - too expensive?
Aside from all the coloration VAC does it's a nice preamp. They need to modernize their functionality.  They have a home theater knob on the front of the box and yet the remote can't control input selection.  I believe volume can be controlled by... 
Diffuser panel design - overrated?
Are these backfiring speakers? The speakers I use our front facing with no ports in the back, so with these be a good thing for diffusers in the back of the speaker? So my encyclopedia Britannica Collection has got to go?  
When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better?
Yyzsantabarbara, Have you considered putting more money toward interconnects and speaker cables and a good power management system versus taking a chance on a $40,000 amp that you will only really be hearing after it's been broken in. Or maybe s... 
Diffuser panel design - overrated?
Kota1 Thank you for the video link. Immediately note that this is a one plus hour video. No doubt lots of valuable info here in. If these audio guys want to improve their flow rate of product they need to become more concise. My gosh spending an...
