Please allow me to introduce myself, I am an audio enthusiast since the mid 70's when I had a Sony portable radio and the tuner had a red light that got brighter when it was tuned in and the sound got better. I am currently doing stereo on what I would call a midfi budget and am fascinated with what is happening in audio regarding the value proposition. I am a fan of open baffle speakers, (Emerald Physics, Hawthorne Audio, Spatial Audio) and have been using Nuprime DAC/pre and class D amplification.I am also interested in near field setups and have been enjoying a pair of Dynaudio BM5A's with a Nurpime DAC-9 on my desktop. Very interested in the Mivera Audio iceedge offering and will be reaching out to bavmike. Currently running Spatial Audio M1 turbo and will be upgrading to M3Turbo S. I have about 4 terabytes of live FLAC recordings pulled from etree and other sites and used to record live shows, mostly in the 80's. Currently using Logitech touch and a Nuprime streamer and may look for higher quality means of streaming. I'd like to get the latest upgrades sorted out soon and get on to the listening and playing guitar. In the end I love researching about audio but my tim e is better suited to use that to manage my investment and audio and sell things before they lose too much value. I have enjoyed auditioning several amps with my speakers and have learned a lot by switching in Krell, Quicksilver, Sunfire, BAT. I am looking towards the future and for me Class D and smaller form factors and energy efficiency will continue to be the way to go.
