Are you serious? I certainly hope not 'cause that a dismal point of view. Must be an awful way to see things. That's coming from a confirmed misanthrope.

So I’m sure we have all seen that the “experts” at the cdc have now said that masks reduced the infection rate by a whopping......2%. Wow that’s just incredible! So I guess all the mask propaganda was right, mask do save lives..🙄
I will not get into the microns of virus size.
The mask can increase bacteriological pneumonia.
Masks are historically worn by slaves.
A doctors analogy I heard three months ago. Wearing a mask to prevent a virus infection is like putting chicken wire over your bedroom window to prevent mosquitos.
Virologists wear rubber suits. Pathologists at the hospital my son works at never wear a mask.

Uh...cdc is the one that said it. I’m glad that you would want to wear a mask but I want to have the freedom to choose what’s best for me. We were told by the experts that we will shut down for 2 weeks to slow the spread, how did that work out?
Correct
A great Operation Mockingbird project to make people afraid.

I haven'd got it yet, but I will. I hope it will help end this nightmare... I just take a lot of vitamins and pray that I will be ok... I have ordered a new batch of pills from Canadian pharmacy for this Spring season. Can't wait to get the vax
The nightmare is due to Operation Mockingbird making you fearful your entire life.

mRNA technology used for the first time that we know of.
Why do we not have homeless people stacked up like cord wood? The virus is not that lethal for those under 70 years with a well cared for immune system. If you eat poorly you are certainly at risk for all sorts of ailments.
My analogy.....do you answer a number you do not know on your cell phone? mRNA is sending a message from someone you do not know.
My mother in laws best friend was cancer free in 12-2020 and had been cancer free for 5 years. Got the two jabs in February. Died last week from cancer in her entire body. Coincidence? Maybe.

Since I have built dozens of tower case computers it does not bother me to do the work.
What is bothersome is the reviews I have read including Stereophile do not mention any struggle with the firmware and software upgrades.
If you could not run ethernet cable in your home and expected WIFI to be plug and play after buying a $ 3000-5000 amplifier streamer you would be pretty upset with a significant obstacle.
The M32 works exceptionally well now but I cannot ever see using WIFI for it.
Seems like many of the audio manufacturers are stumbling over each other to introduce these designs.
The new McIntosh to me is ridiculous.
10 analog inputs? Whatever would a listener need 10 analog inputs for ? Betamax, VHS, Video disc, Cassette, R to R, Phono, Outboard DAC and I am still not to 10.

I (for one) would appreciate your opinions on the ‘user’ friendliness of the device. Earlier this year I added a Marantz na6006 digital streamer to my 2 channel system. I consider myself somewhat intelligent but struggled with the terminology, technology and an illogical operations manual that may as well have been written in cursive Cyrillic. The digital world in all of its applications must deploy clearer instructions IMHO. If the end user can not obtain the best use of their digital devices it makes little difference how well they ‘can’ work.
I knew there would be a couple of obstacles with firmware updates. M32 in my mind needed to be updated first by USB drive file. Once downloaded on a Windows 10 PC and copied to a very stylish and steel USB supplied by NAD, the USB was easily read with a "cold boot" of the M32. From an audio quality standpoint the M32 should always be in standby mode when not playing. BLU OS 2i card is updated in a separate and completely different set of instructions.
I wrote NAD a service ticket. Trying to update the card by WiFi was fruitless. I started programming in HS in 1977 and keep current. NAD seems to be indifferent to the Wi-Fi problems but it is 2020 and tech service was only available by e mail.I ran through the basement 90 feet of Ethernet cable which was about a 2 hour project based upon a recommendation form Arto. Once hardwired all software updated quickly. I am using the BLU OS application on an Android tablet primarily but it runs fine on I Phone or Android phone.
Tune In for internet radio within the BLU OS is quite easy to search and use.
I see the M32, in order, integrated amplifier, computer, DAC and Streamer.
The BLU OS card was a must for me. This is the Belle living room system I want my wife to find easy to use. We both like Tidal at age 60 for me to find recordings I have never heard or rarely heard. I cannot own everything in music software.
Impressive technology and lifestyle improvement.
More to come next week.

I will post an initial review mid next week after 10 weeks of listening.
First amp change in 14 years.
Plug and play with hardwired Ethernet connection.
MM phono section can be digitally outputted for archiving out of print records from 1950s and 1960s.
Inference is the M32 was engineered with Tidal and MQA in mind. Previously, I was not interested in MQA.
In 45 years of audio I have never owned an amp that ran this cool.
BLU OS application from my android tablet runs well.

I kind of went off the rails into the realm of all things digital.
My thought is to put a review in for my new NAD M32 integrated with BLU OS 2i card on a forum but which one?.
Definitely not in Talking tubes or Solid State.
Could it be time for a Digital or Digital Amplification sub forum?

Good thread!
My Chorus IIs come back on line in early 2021 in a new recreation room after being stored for 8 years.
Dean updated the crossovers about 11 years ago.
I am thinking about getting Crites tweeters but am not sure what the last mid horn upgrade should be or get a bigger crazy horn mid to sit on top.
Thanks again,
Rick

Very cool.
THis is a great thread!

Hope next round of nuclear power plants goes the way of France instead of the USA debacle.
- PHDs should not use each plant as a competing playground.
-Engineers need a bigger say in design.
-Build three competing designs.
- Take the optimized systems if the three and make 5 identical designs.
USA fission nuclear power was a chaotic wild west show. Thankfully USA automotive and petrochemical industries have better standardized policies, procedures and practices.

Good information.
There is a law of diminishing return. As much money as I have put into audio since 1974 a few observations.
Your hearing will get worse.
You have to love your speakers, if you do not the rest of the components are inconsequential.
You have to love your preamplifier or phono preamp.
I do not think my ears would appreciate a $ 5000 cartridge over a $ 1500 cartridge.
I can easily listen to an economical cartridge.
I cannot listen to an economical DAC.

15 years ago I would go nuts trying to get a KLF C7 to go with my prior home Chorus II HT.
An impressive Center!

I have been on this forum for a couple of decades. I live in Michigan.
They may be quite interesting but you need to lead with better pictures and a price.
If you will crate and ship more people would be interested.
Local pick up limits your interested buyers. If these are a value in the used market a perspective buyer would drive 4-8 hours each way to purchase.
Good Luck;
Rick

13 hours in a tin can to Tokyo is enough for me. No moon or Mars for me.
I think there is allot we do not know about the ocean and geothermal energy. Allot to be explored on this planet.

RB75 is the king of the hill of bookshelves. Lead filled stands are a must. Two RC75s are a good idea.
I have RB-5 and a few KG bookshelves. In my late 90s I had the RB-5 and a 12 inch sealed sub in my HT room. Rocked the house and half the block!

I have been listening to classical out of NYC affiliated with the New York Philharmonic. Very good quality.
DJs are quite studied on classical and play composers I have never heard.
In 2020 I sometimes need only the words in my head.

Warning: Propaganda from me 😋
You might want to take a look at what's called a direct digital feedback amp (DDFA) (not class D). To my knowledge NAD is the only one making these. The NAD C390DD has been out of production for some time now and can be had for a song. One of the best values out there. New is the NAD M32, successor to the original M3. One thing is for sure, the clarity, openness and incredible low end is probably an order of magnitude beyond anything you've heard before, tube or solid state. Whether or not you like is up to you. I had been using mostly tube amps (Luxman MB3045 and Wright 3.5 Mono) and McIntosh or Crown solid state amps for decades until I heard the C390DD in my system. I now have an NAD M32. This is as close as I've gotten to "real" from an amplifier at any price.
The M32 is the real deal. I have had mine for 3 weeks and find it more interesting every day.
I was slightly hesitant but always loved my NAD 3020. I was going to change something in my system and decided it was time to test a non traditional amplifier design.
BLU OS is a great quality of life upgrade. High resolution radio worldwide!

Agreed.
I add zinc and vitamin K as well.
These treatments are not experimental.
