| $35K to spend, how will you build a system? @blindjim It might be helpful if you re-post exactly what you are looking for, in a highly summarized form. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts The 1 Watt output has been accepted de rigueur.Has anyone bench measured the actual power output of the MZ2S? | |
| $35K to spend, how will you build a system? @blindjim You asked: " If you had it to do all over again, what do you put into a home audio system if you have $35,000.00 to spend?"I'm not sure if your question is theoretical or this is something you are actually planning?In either case, you a... | |
| Small but high quality integrated Hi Sean. Thanks. I get how they are being found. What I don't get is the 'response' or 'question' being asked by the poster who finds the thread. In some cases there is a valid connection, but generally it seems like the dates of the thread are no... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Since I’ve been recently serious in my reflections, reaching out to my tube loving brethren with some lighter fare.Your take on this quote from Art Dudley? "If tubes are liquor, the 300B is clearly absinthe. The 2A3 is Cognac, the 45 is Armagnac, ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @craigl59 and @bullitt5094 How’s JRiver in terms of a learning curve? Do you recommend it over Roon? | |

| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 Kenny, your point about overall system synergy is on point! Thank you for your personal thoughts on this. The forums over at Computer Audiophile, as one example, are by no means static in this area (digital). Some very, very interesting ... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? @dla123 Your Schiit DAC needs a good length of break-in time. Be patient. | |
| Cable manufacturers? Or channel Snowden.Das Goat? Love it! Good one, Teo. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny, my post wasn't and isn't about suggestions for DACs. Your PS Audio Direct Stream with the Huron update is widely praised and recognized; and I think there are others on this thread that are also very happy with theirs, as you are.I'm in no ... | |
| Small but high quality integrated OP's question was asked 4.5 years ago.I see this happening a lot lately.....Any explanations for essentially dead threads being resurrected? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 @porscheracer @craigl59 @lmswjm @sbayne @bullitt5094Thanks to all of you who responded to my query (regarding minimal discussion of our source / front end components) with your thoughts and perspectives. Very helpful in expanding my under... | |
