Peachtree Reliability issues?
Rsangole, thats how I felt about the Nova pre / 220 combo.  Great sound but missing some life. I wonder if its due to the class D amp.  Its intersting that an amp / pre / dac can sound good, have good power, have good extension and clarity yet be ... 
Jamo Concert 11 vs. Focal 726v
Wow, totally forgot about posting in this thread.  Coincidentally  (?), I just got some Jamo Concert 11's tonight, almost exactly 2 years after I wanted them in this thread! 
Peachtree Reliability issues?
After living with a Nova Pre and 220 amp for quite some time (it is gone now) and can say that it was actually a pretty good sounding combo and I didn't have any more reliability issues.  My only complaint now is the crappy plastic remote and the ... 
Devialet Silver Phantom
I waited to respond again until I heard them again, which I now have, and yes, they are crap.  All boom hiss, no real hi-fi refinement.  If you like bose, you may love these. Bleh, horrible!  
If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?
I just wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks for the great list of Christmas music!!  I'm enjoying it right now, Christmas morning in Snowy Colorado! 
Im over Tidal
Ummm, I feel kind of stupid now... lemme check into this.  I had zero issues when I was using the "premium" subscription but now that I am on "hifi" I'm having issues.  Didn't even think to blame it on the cable company...How are your load times f... 
Simple question, best sounding inexpensive DAC.
Schiit bifrost multibit.  I have the Schiit bifrost uber, and will be upgrading to the multibit board soon.   
Revel F208 vs. Paradigm 75F: Auditioning
The new Prestige series from Paradigm is really nice; sounds better than the previous Studio series in my opinion. I think you'd enjoy them.$3k will buy you a lot on the used market as well. You could look for something from their Signature Series... 
Best used floor standers up to $1300
I think you'd be happy with those new Psb's or the Psb gold i's which are more than likely even better. Honestly, thers quite a few good choices on the used side for $1200 as well. Vandersteen 2ce's, possibly Paradigm S2's with Berrylium Tweets, M... 
Devialet Silver Phantom
Really? No one else has heard these?? 
Wow .... €50K Headphones ... What next
Schubert, Kijanki was just making a joke, a good one at that. $55k headphones are messed up, even in a world of $1mil Porsches cruising down the highway.On a side note, I agree with Schubert regarding the moral dilemma on this one; I doubt that th... 
Adcom - To modify or not?
4bsst would be a better choice; parasound a21 is nice as well.Interestingly, I'm using an Adcom 535ii right now and it sounds pretty decent (better than I remember my 545 sounding). I bought a used Bryston 4bst 3 weeks ago but one channel was not ... 
Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound?
Noooo, impair alcohol does not depreciate sound 
50k people attend concert with no live music
Wow, that Silent Disco thing is cool and strange all at the same time. I think its kind of a cool idea and I'd love to sit there in silence watching a bunch of people dance to a bunch of different music. Seriously guys, you can't pay for that kind... 
Headphone DAC/Preamps
P.S. I really like the Schiit Bifrost Multibit, Valhalla, HD650 route. This way you get a great headphone amp, a great dac (that's upgradeable as not to be obsolete) and the headphone amp has pre out so later on you can use it as a preamp (until y...
