I have been in a bit of a stereo funk for the past few weeks. Just a string of bad luck, bad bets and equipment failure. My LUMIN went down after a mod apparently broke it. Still trying to get passed my annoyance to write up that ordeal. It is also still an ongoing ordeal, so I may just wait till I am further in the repair fiasco before I write it all up. Being without a streaming option has highlighted just how important streaming has become to me.
I suppose my dissatisfaction is being so close to a stopping point and having it all go to shit. I am just not in a place where I want to bother investigating or “investing” in another solution or replacement at this point. Just got my Onkyo Scepter F1 speakers up and running after having both Tweeters rebuilt by a specialist. And while they are very good speakers, I just prefer the Older Onkyo Monitor 2000X. I have been playing with the DSPeaker X4 for room correction only. It is also a Pre Amp and a DAC. But I am not really all that crazy about it. It speaks to my general belief that I am just not a candidate for the Miracles of DSP correction. I hear the “improvements” of the room correction. Just not sure I like it per se? Will have to give it a little more time.
