I got here to late to give you my recommendation so I’ll say congrats on a very nice Integrated and a very nice system as a whole! That’s a system to be proud of for sure. I haven’t listened to these components but if they sound anywhere near as g...

@gasbose I just realized that not only were you the last to post and to try to bring this back to the original discussion, but you were the only one to recommend doing both....Buy a TT and a cartridge for the Pro-Ject! Nice job at reading my futur...

What is to become of Marantz Reference and HIFI as we know it
@mahler123Was KI really that important to the sound?The Marantz house sound as we know it and is loved by many IS KI! That sound is his signature and why he was involved in all those tweaks you spoke about. I read a review a while back on the new ... 
What is to become of Marantz Reference and HIFI as we know it
Mahler you are reinforcing what I am sadly hoping does not become a norm! Now your 7004 was not a Reference unit, never the less that is what happens when a culture is lost and only corporate bean counters control policy!Now I will say my UD 7007 ...

What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
All things to think about.... I do really like the Marantz Reference sound and do believe in product synergy. I would have to believe that a NA-11s1 paired with a PM-11s3 would be very musical?And as it is a few years old now I'm sure the NA-11s1 ...

What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
OK, so I finally got home and have answered some questions myself with the Sonos I'm not sure why I didn't identify it as the weak link much earlier? Maybe because it is so easy? Maybe because Deezer streams at much better quality than most other ... 
What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
Great input guys! I should have thought about the Sonos myself but that’s why I have you all lolI’m not at home, so a quick question for the Sonos owners here. Can I bypass the Sonos DAC and use the UD7007s? 
What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
@roberjerman     Those Vandersteen's do look delicious! I just now read a bunch of reviews and they are some serious high-end players!
