My journey to search for standmount bookshelf speakers...
Stop messing around and get Aerial Acoustic 5T. Youll never question your decision. Your decision of course.  Merry Christmas 
Will the Aurender N100h Music Server work with an Ethernet over power-line connector?
Has anyone moved from a sonos connect to a Aurender N100H and heard big improvements in sound quality? 
Help, My Vandies Sizzle
I have not seen anyone ask what kind of music you listen to.  Also you say you are not going back to vinyl.  Seems to point to poorly produced digital music.  There is so much poorly recorded digital music.  That you only have 1% you find objectio... 
Just wondering...
I home auditioned a couple of dacs and ended up buying the Schitt yggy DAC.  For 2399.00 it is far better than any I listens to.  Go to the headfi forum there are 2 threads you can read on for a month.  
Warm-up time for amps and preamps
Once turned on my tube amp takes 60 seconds before sound can be heard. That is for amp protection.  Just enough time to pour the Jamison. Sounds great from the start and better every sip.  
Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
If you want bright then listen the the B&W 805 diamonds.  You'll be reaching to find the volume soon enough.  I prefer a Speaker that tries to imitate live music rather than a speaker that tries to impress your friends with it's clicky hi hat ... 
Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49
I have had my Prima Luna HP with EL34's and 2 Mullard cv4003 as drivers and primaluna stock 12au7.  I have Aerial Acoustic 5T's.  I auditioned it against Aerial 7t's.  If I ever purchase the 7T's I would be tempted to put in the KT150 tubes.  Thes... 
Just looking to stream only
Justtubes,hi I have a non modified Sonos connect attached to a yggy Schiit DAC and a Primaluna dialog hp.Do you think the upgrade to the Sonos is worthwhile or would you go with a Aurender or Lin unit?   
Shopping for new speakers
If you want to always like to upgrade your equipment don't buy Aerial Acoustic. Your days of Sears Wish Book Catalog will be over. Those old enough know what I am talking about. Thank you Michael Kelly.  
Leon Russell has passed on......
We were the lucky ones to live during a generation of such great music.  Drop the needle. 
Aerial 5T impressions
I continue to be amazed with the realism of these 5T's.  I recently attended the Pump Boys musical sitting 4 rows back center being reminded of the neutrality of live music.  These speakers present music in the same way.   
Question for sub woofer users
Bobits mono out of the subwoofer output. Just get a y adapter to split it.  
Reclocking device for the Schiit Gungnir?
Erik,Double agreed!  I had B&W. CM6s2 and listened to the B&W 805 diamonds.  Those were so bright they were like diamonds cutting my eardrums.upgraded to Aerial 5T. I left that mass spearker brightness forever.I have the yggy as well and i... 
help me with a DAC decision please
You can read Schiit  Yggy impression thread over in other forums.  I bought one after many months of searching and listening.  I am very happy with it! 
Questioning the need for a DAC
Erik,how does a Schiit DAC like the yggy remove jitter?
