Beautiful set up. Avantgarde has embraced the use of technology and DSP for integrating their speakers with a room. Bravo.

Common sense is actually the least common of all senses and it shows…

Your response was incredibly polite and measured. Very impressive!.
Since you indicated that you do not have objective data to prove your point that bit-perfect streamers do not make a difference,...

Not a surprising view coming from you...

I believe that I am pretty much done with downsizing. Got rid of a subwoofer, big/heavy power plant, NAK deck, huge/heavy mono amps and preamp. Ended up with much smaller (in size and cost) equipment...

The adventure continues. Now attempting to reduce the number of components to fit inside the stereo equipment cabinet. The turntable and phono preamp are going to remain. But I still have a streamer,...

I totally agree with everything said. In fact, I put my money on that: My streamer is a lowly RPi.

You would be amazed at the number of “high-end” streamers costing a ton of money that are based on a lowly $50 RPi. Today, consumers can enjoy true high-end sound without having to spend a ton of...

Dave, if you are the type of individual who enjoys DIY projects, you can build a streamer using a Raspberry Pi. You can find easy-to-follow instructions online. Total cost less than $100.

With the Eversolo device, you could rip your CD collection and it can access it. That way you can listen to your own music collection without having to pay for a music streaming service.

Agree with Bones. Streaming from online services works great.

Music services like Qobuz also include different versions/mastering of albums so you can actually get to check the changes. My...

The Eversolo DMP-A6 has received excellent reviews/recommendations in other sites (ASR). Not sure if it is allowed to post links here, but you can Google it. You will also find other options for...

Our new home is slightly smaller, losing about 300 sq ft, but the significant change is the open layout with fewer rooms. Consequently, the main living area, where we've placed the speakers, is...

I actually replaced the pots with matte black pots. (Wrapping a round pot is way beyond my wrapping ability!)
Here is a picture of the amp un-wrapping.

Reducing the footprint of your audio equipment doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing sound quality. My personal experience is a testament to the fact that you can decrease both the physical size and...

Obviously there is an issue with the software upgrade and several folks have noted that they are experiencing the same problem.

Do you mean that you are also having problems uploading pictures?

You might be happily surprised with the change. I was forced to downsize because of a move, but I am now enjoying better sound. The topping pre-amp is definitely a winner (and it costs a mere...

Thanks Puma Cat! You are up early!!

You are the admin and that might make a difference.

I am getting this message: "IMG_7761.jpg - This is not a valid image file."

Perhaps others can chime in.

Unable to post pictures. Not sure if related to the software update.

I just removed the wrap. (getting ready to sell). They look like new!
Tried to post a picture but I get a response that the jpeg file is not compatible. Wondering if others are having the same...

Big versus small...

Yes… FS: 88 pound amps! 😁
