Is it all phasing or is it something more?
Speakers are definitely in phase as this is the only content that I notice it on plus I hear the same issue on my girlfriend’s system. Still wondering if it reproduces on non-streamed DVD or Blu-ray media.   
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
After some thought and reading through the posts, I don't think I am going to consolidate given the fact the I-3, the i3.3 and the 340i seem to be a very similar performing integrated amp.  I did try an I-3 in my main system when I was getting my ... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
One thing to note here you are going from Mutli-channel gear, that you’re using 2 channel, to a dedicated 2 channel integrated likely it will sound better. It will certainly sound different, generally I agree with the guys above best keeping the ... 
notable consolidation possibility, should I or not?
...I replaced my SimAudio 340i amp with the Musical Fidelity M6Si integrated DAC because it sounds much better than the SimAudio.  I also use a separate DAC... Interesting @hgeifman, which DAC do you use?  Not sure why MF would have such limite... 
Simaudio 340 i hard to beat for the $$
I recently purchased an Simaudio I-3 to put against my audio refinement (yba) separates in my main system with ProAc Studio 148s and a modified RP6.  The room has various rugs and some basic foam bass traps plus the primary reflections are mostly ... 
Puron AC Power Conditioner really....
Hi Mark, Thanks for answering my questions earlier this week and also talking about the DC blocker.  I do have a follow up question.  Have you had any actually return a Puron during the 30 day trial period? Thanks, Scott  
Monitors for 14 x 20 Room
Wharfdale Denton 80th anniversary monitors on good rigid stands.  I have some in my bedroom system and sound great.  I tried them with a Simaudio Moon I-3 and it was a very nice combo.  I got the I-3 while my other preamp and amp were getting serv... 
Temporary Down Sizing - Integrated Amp Recommendations
I have a very nice sounding black SimAudio Moon I-3 integrated in excellent cosmetic condition with factory remote that I am not using.  Great warm yet detailed sounding class A/AB amp.  It has a classic retro look but no UV meters.  PM me if you ... 
12'x16'x8' room OK for good stand mounts?
Don't rule out trying ProAc D2 or D2R on very sturdy stands.  They are very warm and natural sounding, especially with string and reed instruments, and might be a little bit more flexible in the distance from the front wall.  
A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
I would keep the Rega deck and cartridge. I would sell your speakers and integrated amp and go with the following: proac DT8 one of the following integrated amps: simaudio yba yba 2 speaker and interconnect cables from (I really like Mogami c... 
Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving
@tony1954, you did not read my post carefully.  Audiogon does not allow you to upload images in posts.  Instead, it allows you to embed links to outside hosted images.  It is two very different things...  
Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving
Please see my profile for a nice customized vinyl rack as Audiogon still does not allow image upload to posts: my system  
Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?
WHARFEDALE Denton 80th Anniversary Bookshelf Speakers I have them in my bedroom system.  Very relaxed and warm with good bass.  Music Direct has them marked down.  
Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why?
I've tried many, most of them were some kind of humbuster approach as I have a lot of DC on the line which makes my preamp hum.  All of them I tried killed system dynamics with or without the amp plugged into it.  The only one that removed most of... 
Check in: How quickly are streamers and servers evolving?
I am thinking of getting a Bluesound Node 2i to replace my tuner which is my 6+ (hours) x 7 days music source when I am not listening to vinyl or AV source.  I have a great jazz + NPR (KNKX), classical (KING) and classic rock (KZOK), all of course...
