Need help! First step into high end audio
My suggestion is to get the words "high end audio" out of your mind. Those terms mean so many things to audiophiles that is just confusing and often too expensive in dollars. Go with "what sounds really good to you". Yamaha, Pioneer, Sony all make... 
Whittling down my choices to a final few pair...
I agree with ghdprentice....completely. You and the lucky woman owe it to yourself to audition these higher priced speakers.   
Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)
I have always liked the sound of Vandersteen. I had seen many people sell their 2CE speakers only to regret it later and buy another pair. They are well designed and sound great within the parameters of that kind of budget. Richard never intended ... 
UPS. Friend Or Foe?
I just had a computer delivered by UPS. I was not home this past Thursday to sign for the package so I got a message from UPS they delivered the computer to a local drop off point where I live at CVS?? Well I called CVS when I got off work and the... 
Vandersteen 2CE Signature III — video review on YouTube by Steve Guttenberg (1/15/2023)
After much tweaking I have integrated my Vandersteen 2CE Sig II's with a pair of Rythmik F12G-SE. The Vandersteen's were good before the subs, but now the sound went to 11. As they say in Spinal Tap "this one goes to 11"....  
RIP Jeff Beck
Surprised and caught me off guard, so very sudden, now I am saddend by the  news. "Blow by Blow" was my favorite album for a few years. Very, very talented and innovative guitarist. God Bless Him and family. RIP.  
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...
It's just as easy to be helpful or skip a topic if one feels compelled to be nasty or have fun stroking one's own ego by saying something against forum etiquette and rules. The problems rests with good judgment and not choosing to be a complete do...

Does the speaker on the left sound better or the speaker on the right? No they both are corrupt. It’s the shadow DAC that runs everything.

yeah often times what hilde45 stated happens. I would like to add the following additional reason. Thread topic and question clearly stated: Original poster "I am looking for a new CD player in the $1000 range. I have narrowed down my choices ... 
Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?
"One sees what is in back of their eyes, not what is in front of their eyes". The same holds true for the ears. I would guess most often we hear want we want to hear....what we fabricate in our mind. Most people who would listen to Bose 901 speake... 
patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole
I like all three of these performers. I liked Barbara Streisand too but heard she is not so nice. To each his own, everyone can listen to whomever they like? No problem.. I don't get the negative comments because of this??   
Neutral Dac?
I would say other electronics in any given system will affect the sound as much or more than the DAC. And additionally the "synergy " between the components and the room itself. Even though I don’t like the word "synergy" as it tends to not specif... 
Turntable question; Does Audio Technica make any good turntables?
Thanks for all the comments. Didn't know about OL. So even though MC didn't answer the question exactly... I am going to say thanks anyway for the information. I can squeak out a few dollars more as long as my wife doesn't know the actual cost. I...
