If I purchased a piece of equipment of any kind that claims to be made in the UK and I then found out that it was made in China, I would be pissed. It is nobody else's business what my reason for that is.

Exactly. To advertise and say they are made in Scotland when you KNOW they are not, is completely dishonest. Now, if they were lying to the distributor too, then that’s another story, but I doubt it. Pretty easy to tell where they are...

The 1160 is a great amp. The 2160 is truly a league above and more in line with the Block. The Constellation lineup is also great. The 1160 is a little more laid back then the 2160 and a lot more laid back then say Block or Soulution. I won’t...

That’s all Boulder. Fully balanced. XLR only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

He’s a great resource for dealers. Glad he’s staying on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I just watched the video. Very interesting. But the video comments from former VP’s at Tannoy and new distributor are very revealing. I guess KD is no longer the distributor if I’m reading this correct? No love lost for me with him I’ll...

Master 300 for sure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Me. Not a good match. VAC is a way better match. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

Boy that's SO true about the PBJ's. One time on a lark, I got a pair of PBJ's and Hero's of the same length, and WOW there was a huge difference, immediately noticed and undeniable. While the PBJ's sounded exciting at first, when I got agitated...

New Reference! Give me a call. Remember, the trade in of the Premier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.” When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound? ...

Really? All accounts? Certainly not mine or others who have replied to this thread and elsewhere on the forum. The LUMIN App works (and sounds) very good indeed.

I may be in the minority here, but I find this thread very useful in that it challenges my beliefs. The posts by Matt Hooper have been enlightening and I dare say, more than respectful. I have found that ASR’s measurements don’t align with my own...

It will be handled here. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, but I’m not sure that’s their target. I think an 1161/1160 is a good target. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

I didn’t hear anything in particular. Glad you guys love the styling. It’s a carry over from the Master 300 which I designed. The Master 300’s are my favorite tube amps (if I’m allowed to say that without too much fussing!) Sent from my iPad...

Better to stick with the 300 or save for another 300. The 202 is basically the 200iQ with new cosmetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Personally, I would never use Fedex by choice. UPS USPS are FAR more reliable in my experience. One consideration regarding the pop-up window for pickup location choice: if you have pop-up blockers enabled, you can find yourself scratching your...

Funny they don’t mention that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

"This is the basis of the audiophile “interconnect” and “power purifying” industries. You’ve been warned..." Hmmm, exactly what are we being warned about? Are we expected to accept that the results of this experiment NOT comparing interconnects...

Reminds me of the fuses we tried. One even costing $1500. The folks who were blindfolded could not tell any difference with any of the fuses. I guess if you find a fuse that messes with the sound, that could change things. But is it better? ...

I can offer a review of the LUMIN App from a daily user streaming Qobuz and Internet Radio (my own TuneIn stations and even better, Radio Paradise and other stations in FLAC) to LUMIN T2 and D2: It works very well for me. It is reliable, easy to use...

M7 has been a GREAT seller for us! Now what will I do with all these Q7’s? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
