| Peachtree GaN 400 vs Class D Audio Mini GAN 5 Thanks @pinwa, I was hoping someone would do what you've done. Finally, we have a head-to-head comparison with the little Class D GAN 5 in the mix. Your contribution is much appreciated.Happy Listening! | |
| Another Node2i Question Couldn't get my Node2i to even connect properly going straight wireless. Added a TP-Link Deco Mesh System (~$100-$150 on Amazon); connected mesh dot via Supra CAT8 ethernet cable to Node2i, and voila! For the most part, seamless streaming and grea... | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Okay @facten, I'll go ahead and make a "generalized" statement" too: The budget is the budget.Obviously, without the BT requirement, there are any number of used amp options that would work. Used speakers can be had for a bargain as well. New is a... | |
| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? Not trying to bring out the flame throwers, but Tekton Design has a couple of models that might fit the bill for speakers: the Mini Lore ($630) and the Lore Reference ($825). The downside is delivery time. Took awhile to receive my Enzo X/L's. It ... | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? @yogiboy +1@stereo5 +1@jdoris +1 A lot of views and no offers clearly indicate pricing too high and/or not enough demand to generate offers near the asking price. Also, there does not appear to be much of market for that particular brand. If... | |

Like @whipsaw mentioned, Rudy Van Gelder (Blue Note) engineered tons of material from the bebop/hard bop/post-bop eras. Several other labels had good production quality as well, like Presti... | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? I have the Schiit Saga (original) and use it in tube buffer mode with all my sources except Audio Horizon phono preamp run passively. I don’t presume to tell anyone what they hear, but after spending time rolling a few 6SN7’s with the Saga, I was... | |
| Wireless sub @zappas, I was in similar situation recently. Check out this information from REL: https://rel.net/?s=wireless then decide if it's worth pursuing. FYI ... I ordered the transmitter from Amazon, and will be taking delivery on wireless-enabled REL s... | |
| Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" Thanks for sharing @teajay. That Denafrips ARES II looks real interesting, especially for budget minded.Also, why does there seem to be the need for snarky comments or to denigrate others' contributions? I don't get it. Anyway ...Happy Listening! | |
| Late Night Jazz Listening to Miles Davis "Someday My Prince Will Come" ... sweet. | |
| Late Night Jazz Oh yeah ... besides Coltrane "Ballads", Kenny Burrell "Round Midnight" all-time favorites for late night easy listening. | |
| Late Night Jazz Bill Evans - "The Solo Sessions Vol. 1"This vinyl is recorded in such a way that it puts Evans in the room with you. +1 thanks @bdgregory for your suggestion ... added to my Qobuz "relaxing jazz" playlist. |
