Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k
BTW, I concur with the theory of under driving an amp vs over driving one.  And listening at 70-80 dB most of the time at 10 feet away is what I do most of the time.The Adcom GFA565SE sounds dynamic and live\detailed at any volume, it’s a great op... 
Good sounding head unit / NAV for car?
I actually had a system in my car where I employed an Audioquest dragonfly and connected my iphone to it. It soon became apparent, that any playlist or song change, etc. required me to take my eyes off the road and it was pretty problematic.So I f... 
Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k
On the Kef Q950, I was on a speaker search recently myself, and the Kef Q line really impressed me at the dealer, so I ordered a pair. Other brands were brighter and or congested compared to the Kefs. I’m getting the Q750 because I have a smaller ... 
Best rock song of all times
Hmm, I feel like I should name another one...You all should listen to this one.  Tons of energy, uniquely garbed lead singer, and guitars blazing.  Anyone remember, "She Sells Sanctuary"?  1985, believe it or not...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
The OP is using a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium, which has about 33 wpc(35 @ 1% THD).  This alone disqualifies many speakers from consideration. 
And a happy Festivus to all!
So festivus is for people that can’t handle the truth.  If you don’t like Christmas, tough.  Christmas probably doesn’t like you either.

The 2-3k range.  Well, I don't think you'll find anything in that range that is actually rated for up to 350 wpc.  So whatever you end up with, you'll have to go easy on the speakers somewhat.I recently picked up a GFA 565SE, and found a great dea...

Money For Nothing was banned because it’s politically incorrect.  Many stations won’t play it because it has the word, “fag” in it. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
With all due respect, the only component that can make you stop looking is the one between your ears.

Money For Nothing has got to be right up there with the best, and now that it’s been banned, well that just adds cred...

Wow.  Hey folks, the OP stated back on page one that he had made his decision on a dac... 
unidentifiable grados
Those do look like they come from the professional series, except there are some differences.  Occasionally Grado does a limited release model, which could be why "custom" is in the name.But I'd say that the headband is off, being tan leather.  Th... 
Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp?
As usual, some are answering questions that were not asked, and some are making assumptions.  However, the question as asked may be too open ended to properly address without more detail.It sounds like the OP is saying that the system is already o...

Hey, that bel Canto 2.7 DAC looks like a sweet unit, and not exactly cheap, at $2500!
