Which components are "stupid good"?
Magnepan MMGs (best sounding budget speakers) 
Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k
I would look into a Pure I-20 dock for your Iphone. If you get a decent DAC, you will be amazed at the sound you can get. But the DAC inside the Pure is good as well. Go with Tidal or Spotify as a music source, but you can still listen to the musi... 
Magnepan MMG........amazing
I have them. Great sound. Luv it. Wonderful for vocals and jazz. Yeah for the price. TREMENDOUS. I would like to get 1.7i or 3.7i. You need alot of power and current to get the best sound IMHO. 
What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?
I would get Magnepan 3.7i and the best tight subwoofers and crossover I could find. Maybe twin server subs like REL or GR research. I would have lots of money left over.Also I really like the Volti Audio Vittora 5 piece speaker system with a tube ... 
Best budget DAC

Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC.
Ive got the Bifrost Uber. Very musical. I use the optical in from a quality CD spinner. I also use an optical switch and with that I can also toggle over to a Pure I20 dock and use my Iphone to play Tidal or Spotify through the Bifrost. Sounds ver... 
are magnepan mmg any good and intergrated amp suggestion for them
I have two systems. In one I have MMGs paired with a Parasound A21 and it’s a great match. I had them connected to my tube amp, but I think they draw too much power or current from the amp. 
Classe CA200 vs. Parasound Halo A21
OEMId lay a bet you are going to fall in luv with that Classe amp. Nice decision and I have the A21, so I have respect for both brands. 
Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please
I'm with jldouglasI have the LM Audio 216ia and really Iuv it. But you'd go up a model or two. I had the SET one for a few months and it really was sweet. WilliamBTW my dealer has given me perfect customer service on the LM Audio
