Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
I just bought a pair too, thanks to @cosmosound They are breaking in as we speak, but initial listening has been very enjoyable.  My other speakers are Spendor A4s, which will be hard to beat.  They do not sound similar whatsoever right now, but t...

Room Perfect has bass management, and will work with the use of a subwoofer (or two). 
Vinyl and Lyngdorf TDAI-3400?
I owned the Lyngdorf 2170 two times!  Really wanted to love it, but only kind of liked it at after extended time.My biggest gripe was vinyl playback.  I tried it with a few different phono stages, and everytime same result - "clean" and "no soul"....

@hpfish10 I decided to simplify my setup, and since I use a TT, the BB was the better fit since it included a MM/MC phono stage (which is quite excellent, BTW).Absolutely loving this DAC/Preamp.

Well a few things have changed, but I did receive the Brooklyn Bridge. As expected, it outperforms the Bel Canto easily.I had the Bridge connected to my integrated (Yamaha A-S2100) initially, but knew I could use it as a preamp too, so took the in...

Okay..The Bel Canto ran for about 18 hours straight, which probably isn’t enough burn in, but at least it got a good work out in. I decided to start the A/B testing. *First test:Bel Canto (using analog out to integrated) vs. Auralic Mini (using an...

Update:The Bel Canto e.One Stream arrived today, and took all of 3 minutes to setup and connect with Roon.Using the analog out right now to test the internal DAC.  So far it's sounding excellent, and I got to remove one box!Going to let in burn in...

@aberyclark That looks like a nice piece!  I've owned the PH-10 and IS-1000 by Gold Note.  Both were excellent.

@nonoise That was on my radar a while back.  Was getting really close to going with a whole Alchemy/ELAC system with the amp and phono stage too.At that time though, it was still too early, and there wasn't much in the way of professional or user ...
