Who is using The Lyngdorf 2710 or 3400, and Room Perfect with speakers against the wall ?
It takes lots of trial and error in speaker and seat set up.  Which, I realize depends on whether you have a dedicated room or not. I tried against the wall when I got my 2170 over 4 years ago.  I didn’t like it.  And discovered almost no one does... 
Integrated Amps - another thread...
Look into the Lyngdorf 2170 TDAI. It has a dac.  2 if not 3 very very positive and very detailed reviews were done in 2016 and 2017 and there are many discussions of the unit on this forum.A few folks I know replaced much higher priced gear with t... 
The best room upgrade: $2250
OP:Thanks for starting this thread.  I will be looking into the roof treatment.  Lots of great posts here….Bpoletti:I have been trying to find fake plants for diffusion or tall reeds (for lack of a better word).  Reeds perhaps an 1/8 of an inch th... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
Been using Roon with my Zenith Mk3 for six months.Having switched to Sense 3 days ago, I agree with comments by Grannyring  and the hifi veterinarian:  Sense is Sensational.  It is a huge deal.  I too am beside myself.  Grinning and shaking my hea... 
any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with
Forgot: Absolutely no financial or any connection to Innuos. Just a happy customer. Should go without saying, but….

A non-subjective recommendation for the Puritan PSM156
The Puritan is the first audiophile grade conditioner I have used, so I can’t make comparisons to other offerings. I connected the Puritan last Saturday and ran it for 127 hours straight.  What it has done for the SQ of my system has far exceeded ... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
I have a Lyngdorf 2170 (modded up a bit).Over the last few years I’ve done many of the usual things aimed at optimizing SQ in every parameter most audiophiles pursue.  Depth of soundstage remained elusive.  I had some depth, but nothing I would co... 
New Perlisten S7T Towers
2 ago I noticed that chess-board pattern on some Rockport speakers.  Common supplier?   Likely.  I was looking into Rockport after hearing a good podcast with the founder and the two guys running the business with him now. 
Floorstanding Speakers on Platforms
In my experience, Douglas_Schroeder is correct about the benefits of speaker elevation alone, irrespective of the pedigree of the stand.  Although the stand design can add performance, it need not be expensive.I discovered this first-hand, when I ... 
Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers.
From my previous post, I should state the obvious: to my ears, the Herbies BFD sounded better between my speakers and the stack of concrete pavers and wood sqaures than said stack without BFD’s.My DIY platforms are wood with threaded inserts for 5... 
Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers.
In summer of 2018 I purchased sistrum platforms by Starsound Technologies (new name since, i think) with a 60 day MBG.  I liked them generally, but thought I should make some comparisons, so I brought in GAIA footers.  Frankly, I found them very v... 
Any reviews of Sound Sellers of Marinette WI?
In Fall of ‘89 I bought (and still own, but don’t use) an NAD 7400 receiver and NAD 6 cd changer from Sound Sellers.  Just recently was telling a dealer who sells nationwide about SS.  Commenting on what a great name it is.  Glad to know they are ... 
A few not-so-obvious things I learned doing room treatment
Thanks for the link for the mic.The person is remote.  I’ll take readings at his direction. His interpretation and recommendations will be the same as if he were here—other than he will not be able to listen to the changes along with me.Seeing gra... 
A few not-so-obvious things I learned doing room treatment
Should add that while I “think” my room is pretty sorted out based on how much better I’ve made it sound over time....it will be very interesting to see what REW says about my “sorting”.  Lol.
