Article: Lumin T3 Network Player and Lumin AMP Review

[PYP]

Good stuff, Chris.  It is great to read a review that puts the issue of diminishing returns up front.  Knowing the sweet spot in the lineup is what I would want to know before an audition.  As described, the T3 certainly has a lot of functionality and quality for $5,000 (plus the saving on a preamp for those who keep it simple).  

 

I'm not always familiar with the music you use to evaluate gear, but Blue & Sentimental and Mambo Sinuendo are among my favorite albums and I return to them often.   In addition to wonderful musicians who interact on such a high level, both recordings are tone monsters (it is interesting to read Cooder's comments about the recording environment for Mambo Sinuendo).
