Mr. Frank, you heard it from the horse's month, what else do you what ML to say? I tend to be direct also and try to mince the words that I read but not to your degree. You certainly take it to another level - respectfully, at times, annoying. ML would be foolish to discontinue the ESL...

Oh dear Mr. Frank, you sure have lots of time on your hand. God bless you! I do own Pass Labs gear and I do not care how long Nelson is going to live (hopfully he will blow 100 candles on his cake one day). The product is phenomenal. I also own the modest Theos and does not matter...

I went ahead and took advantage of Amazon's three-month free trial. I have to say the quality of the files is not bad. The bonus for me is that there are many 96 and 192 KHZ files available which I could not enjoy with Tidal.

Happy new year folks, I hope everyone had a great break! Santa Clause delivered the Auralic G1.1 mid December and it has been set up and is breaking in. I am truly impressed with its fidelity, robust speed, and the amazing Lightning DS control app. My own files ripped from DVD Audio...

Thanks very much to everyone for your tips and opinions. One thing for sure, I will not have subscriptions to both services at once. But I may sign up for their free trials and see for myself.

Hi folks, my next upgrade will be an Auralic G1.1 steaming transport. In order to get the best sound quality, I think there are only two major streaming services, Tidal and Qobuz offering the most hi-rez selections. I would like to hear from my comrades here about your experience with...

Amen to that, Robert you hit the nail on its head. It is very hard to describe how magical the 210/212 is. The way it matches the ML panel in terms of attack and decay (I am a sucker for that) is uncanny. That is why it took a while for ML to develop these subs. I believe it has been...

I have not heard that combo but I am naturally biased toward ML products! I will not give up on my pair of Theos with BF-210 - just what Dr. Audiophile ordered! :):):)

ML shines in HT too. My system does double-duty 2-channel and HT. As I may have said in a different thread, it is all about refinement vs. SPL. No doubt, 1100X and 1600X do provide higher SPL for that slam of a truck hitting a wall in a movie. But for my hybrid application, there is no...

It seems to me you might be looking for that tube sound without the hassle of tubes and obviously the ability to drive the stats. I have a similar recommendation as Dave has. A Pass lab INT25 might be the answer for you. It has been out for a few years now. You might be able to get...

Hi @Robert D , by the way, we had a road trip to Nashville going through Ohio back in May. You live in a lovely state. It has everything although most of the heavy industries have been eliminated. We stayed in Toledo and Cleveland.

Mine is on auto standby too. And it is fairly quick. It will turn on as soon as it receives any signal below 120 HZ.

I am very sorry about the sad circumstances. I wish you would have had a more pleasant experience getting an ML product. I have a 210 and it is a marvelous subwoofer. Do you have it on auto standby or always on? The red light should turn green when it gets a signal. Try to find a...

Welcome Minelli to the ML gearheads! We always are excited about new gears especially from ML. Tell us what you have acquired and what is your experience so far. I bet you are taken back as how more realistic your music sounds now!

RJ, you hit the nail on his head. I am truly sorry for your neighbour. I hope he has private insurance helping out with his medical bills. Indeed, it is a lesson applicable to all aspects of life from audio to cars, homes, cottages, vacations, etc. Always be humble and try to upgrade at...
