Great country recording
Second the Derailers. Also the Hacienda Brothers put out great sounding stuff. I have an ultra rare live recording of them called Music for Ranch and Town that absolutely smokes!

Csm, similar paths. I just got a set of passive Calibres and also moved up from Vapors(great speakers). I’m amazed by the Calibres and hope to someday step up to the XD. I bet the XDS are incredible. What are you powering the tweeters with? Can yo... 
Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?...
Absolutely agree. At almost any budget one can put together a great sounding system that also looks good. I like the aesthetics of my system but nothing was selected with looks as the top priority.

Planning on bi-amping my Calibres soon. Have a feeling that will be a big boost to an already amazing sound.

I am shocked that you would call them thin. Big, rich and full bodied but still detailed in my experience.

I need to get started cheaply and upgrade later. How is the basic Schitt Modi for a starter DAC? What is a cheaper but decent quality way to stream into it?

Good point. I'm using the analog outputs of the Oppo into my tube amp. Does that grant me a pass?I will try switching the IC'S and see what that does. Thanks!

Best speaker cables for under 500$ (Euros)
I just got a set of 4S11 from Ram and am very pleased. Great sounding plus fit and finish are outstanding. 
Bi-amping with integrated
Still figuring out how to do this. How would a Crown XLI 800 work for this connected to the variable output of the Rogue Cronus Magnum? Voltage gain is 29db on the Crown and its 300 watts at 4 ohm and 200 watts at 8 ohm.I have my servo sub connect... 
3 budget speaker cable choices
The Canare cables are sounding really good. It's funny but they sounded good the first night, brighter and a bit harsh the second night( even on the same cd) and fantastic last night on other recordings. Who knows how much of that is the cables, p...
