A Lumin fan since day one. Nice review Chris. ,

Agree Amazon didn't get this big by being some fly by night company. IF it makes sense, and they see the interest which usually means the $$ received from customers they will do it right.

Good move, better support and maybe they will cut the price a few bucks. 😀

Yep $$$$

Got that right. Maybe they can't handle the truth.

I even added a tube pre-amp which did help a little, but !. AV keep us updated. Chris

The sound, I like the way Lumin uses the Wolfson dacs. The T2 was a little more bright/more detailed that I expected. The A1 and D1 just sounded a lot more like my LP's, a little warm. . Personal taste I guess.

After I listened to the T2, I just decided I would keep my A1 and D1. I just like the way they sound.

This one " almost every DVD and BluRay video out there has audio processed with Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP ", pretty much true https://www.revolvy.com/page/Meridian-Lossless-Packing Dolby True HD : pretty much true " Dolby TrueHD uses Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) as its mathematical basis for compressing audio samples " https://www.revolvy.com/page/Dolby-TrueHD Sirius 3 + Billion for Pandora ; True SiriusXM is acquiring Pandora for $3.5 billion. " It's the ancestor of MQA, and probably an important example for the MQA business model." Now this is well speculation.

I tell ya Chris I have had the service for a while, of course I use it for more than music listening, sports, news etc.. and each year you got to fight with these high prices renewal fees, I just tell them, I'll pay my $75 a year or I'll walk away and since 2013 I still pay the same price.

From what they told me, a year ago, they only count paying subs, not auto package trial period deals.

Sirius notes at the start of 2019, 34 million subscribers. And it appears Sirius bought Pandora . It appears they are doing something right. http://investor.siriusxm.com/investor-overview/press-releases/press-release-details/2019/SiriusXM-Beats-2018-Subscriber-Guidance-and-Issues-2019-Guidance/default.aspx

I have a Fluke and an old Simpson 260

Agree Chris. Listeners listen to what they like, they like their system regardless of what some might want them to think. It ain't about them that's for sure. Like you said, who cares, only the ones that want you to be just like them. 😉

Just get you some of that pretty Techflex sleeving and you could say you paid $1000 for that power cable.😀
