I don't know about the Qobuz App being easier to use, but I do turn to it to get information not available on the LUMIN App from time to time. Honestly, the LUMIN App works so well, and sounds so good, I can't imagine controlling the main rig with anything else. I could see where Qobuz Connect...

Thanks, Peter! Just got the firmware updated. Waiting for Qobuz to do their thing now... Sad to see that it won't work for my D2 in the bedroom system, but that's cool since I love the sound just as it is. (I don't even know exactly what Qobuz Connect is, and how I might be able to benefit...

I'm confused, as usual....On my desktop version of Qobuz, I see: JS Version - 7.2.0-b100 Desktop Version - 7.2.0-b129 (Intel) No idea how to update this, but I will be in contact with Qobuz customer service. Now for the LUMIN App in the main system: I'm still in Version 18, and although I can...

Another thumbs up for Marantz. Years ago I had an AV7005 powered by a cheap Emotiva amp, and the sound was just beyond belief. I would consider that combination one of the biggest bang-for-the-buck surprises that I've ever experienced. Watching the "Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's" Blue-ray...

While I'm no professional, and my equipment is not mega expensive, I can say that I go to a Christmas party every year with my Peachtree Audio deepblue2 Bluetooth box. And I can say that without a doubt, my music (or anyone's) streamed from Qobuz sounds far superior to my brother's (or anyone's)...

This is a perfect example of a very expensive speaker not sounding great in a real-world system. I have no idea what associated equipment, cables, room treatment, etc. were present when you tested them, but I do know that you've had several speakers come through that room that you were very...

I agree, but in my case the opposite is quite often the case: sometimes it is the music itself and not necessarily the lyrics that I enjoy the most. For example: I listen to quite a bit of Spanish language music that I don't understand 95% of the lyrics for, yet I enjoy it tremendously. Same...

Thanks for the tip, Mech! I checked out their website and I might just get some of those for my washer and dryer.

Welcome to the forum! This is absolutely NOT based on any "audiophile" criteria, it is just what works for me. When I swap anything in or out, including cables and tweaks, I put on tracks 3-6 from The Wall: Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1 The Happiest Days of Our Lives Another Brick in the...

Stephen, Thanks for the reply and information. I've been using Tenderfeet under my amp for years with good results. But I've read before that isolating equipment and decoupling speakers are totally different things that require different approaches and materials. Are you saying that the...

Stephen, The fact that a stand mount or bookshelf (or whatever you want to call it) goes down to 33Hz is very impressive to me. Is there a specific stand and/or tweak that you would consider mandatory for them to achieve their full potential? (I see that Mads recommends a piece of solid oak on...

Not that I'm EVER going to be in the market for these speakers, but I'm wondering if the infrasonic towers come with the Atriums. I don't see mention of them on the Clarysis website, and they show the speakers themselves going down to 13 Hz. Another thing that I'm noticing, and pardon me for...

Larry and Joe, I'm not sure how long ago your Mom passed, but I went through a similar situation. I was my Mom's 24X7 caregiver while she was in hospice (in her home), and right until the end. It just sucked the life out of me on one hand, but on the other, I realized that I had done the most...

I just looked at the Buchardt website, and I noticed that the warranty for the S400 MkII Color Signature Edition is 20 years for the original buyer and 10 years for a secondhand buyer. Very impressive. For the record, the green and blue are sold out. "Dusk Orange" is the last of the Color...

It sounds like a bit of disfunction at the station. I will scratch them off my list for sure. Thanks, Peter!
