those Luxmans are gorgeous 🤟😎

Thanks. The amp is amazing and the biggest change I’ve ever added to my system. I couldn’t believe the difference and it kind of reinforced the idea that we all chase - making the music sound better. you know how sometimes you end up wondering if you’re disappearing up your own ass chasing something that maybe doesn’t even exist? But yes, amp is great, streamer is terrific and they all feed into a mighty fine speaker pair.

And Stranglers Greatest Hits, looks like you're having a fat time @Bunyip!

And then you hear something fab and realise that yes, there WAS a big step-up to find!

Fun and apt phraseology, Bunyip-

Enjoy- looks like a cozy room

Absolutely. It’s those moments which fuel the passion - when your ears are singing their joy.  Now I think of it - also had it when I swapped out my bluesound node for the hifi Rose streamer. (Still think node is terrific sweet sounding streamer) and added a set of iso acoustic gia to my speakers. Tangible appreciable differences for the better. It’s fun! Only problem is it makes me turn the music up to enjoy it more and that’s when the family start throwing things at me! 😁

Yes of course I know how you feel 😉

here are a fe good links which follow the rabbit hole I went down. You will need a raspberry Pi though,

These should get you started.

I was lucky in that my son already had a raspberry Pi. But you can find them on eBay , Amazon etc. Just be prepared it is a journey which requires a bit of research, reading, watching tutorial videos etc to complete. But it’s not too hard. Happy to answer questions as well if you need help. Good luck!
