So Discrete -> Premier -> Cascade -> Sentinel (coming)?

Curious what the future then holds for Discrete and Premier, given such an architecture change.

I'm one who always goes to the airport early if there is time, having spent many years traveling. I'd rather sit in the airport and read, where my options are better, than wait in the hotel....

The concern is real. I had a very painful L3/L4 disc tuneup myself a few years ago, so I understand. We live in a beach home, elevated ~12', with 13 outside steps to get to the entry. From there,...

Passive Harbeth's are great speakers and all, but @3-4x the cost of the Dutch & Dutch 8c's might be a tough sell. It is good to see signs of confidence that well executed DSP is your friend, not foe.

I've had Jason's Ember RCA and Aero Cu coax in my system for a couple years with good results. He's using Aerogel in his higher end offerings now, which I think is somewhat unique in the audio cable...

The Clarisys Auditorium's with 6(!) VAC 300's tri-amped playing Peter Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do", followed by Queen Live, on vinyl, was absolutely spectacular, stunning really, even after...

Yeah, Ian was a little too interesting. We lost our primary home (2 houses from the beach) and a rental condo next door. We just moved back in late November, and they're finally starting the condo...

I am in the lightning zone also, and this advice is spot on. Like any type of "security" it's best done in layers. We have first layer whole home protection on the service entrance at the meter,...

Eversolo DMP-A6 ME -> AudioEngine A5+ powered speakers on my desk. Minimal, but it works great, Roon Radio most of the time.

See you there AJ! Horns, really? I like it.

Yes, Lumin or HiFi Rose RS150 or RS130 (for streaming) would be interesting. I think I already know the answer though.

I've owned a DMP-A6 ME for several months. Functionally, it is excellent, build quality is good enough. Software bugs are squashed quickly with regular releases, which are easy to install. I've just...

What a fantastic opportunity and it's great they managed to work you into the other session. Thanks for sharing, very cool stuff!

She actually has the "Turntable Speaker" model. It sounds quite good with the Orbit table and an Ortofon MM. She has been living in small spaces, dorm, apartments, etc until last year when she bought...

I bought my daughter one of the original Andover Audio Spinbase systems with an Orbit TT. She absolutely loves it, taking along on multiple moves over the past few years.

Dr Vinyl did my DS Audio setup, absolutely top notch service and skills. It's pure magic when done right.

I have the DS Audio 003 cartridge and 003 equalizer on an Acoustic Signature Typhoon Neo. It's a great combination. I'd also like to try out the Meitner eq. as I've heard it's a nice improvement.

Excellent post and thank you! I have the same NUC/case and this power button issue drives me crazy. I'll look into this further, and hopefully it is also solved simply.

A system that definitely exemplifies Nicoff's original premise of a new generation of actives is the Dutch & Dutch 8c @$15k. Speakers, amps, DAC, and streaming are all there. Plug in an ethernet...

Yes, it looks like an accounts payable table, which would be anyone who was ever set up to be paid anything by the company. Very different ...

I wish them well, iconic brand that it is, and I've...

We're going to see them in Fort Myers tomorrow. Hopefully they'll do the EW&F too, great stuff.

Tweak Studio and Tweek Geek (Mike G) are completely unrelated to each other, in different states, and different owners. I do business with Tweek Geek and he is highly reputable, flawless transactions...

Dre,

Thanks for your observations on the Tornado Neo/TA2000. Working with Norm and my dealer, I paired the Typhoon Neo with an Acoustical Systems Aquilar arm rather than the TA arm, and they're...

I had M60 MKIII's as well as their MP3 preamp for quite some time. Ralph was fantastic to deal with, very responsive, definitely knows his stuff. He was always refining the designs and offering...
