T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@blisshifi My system resides in Pennsylvania but I'm also in Florida. House of Stereo is the T+A dealer. They just moved into new, fancy digs.  
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
@blisshifi I own Devore 0/96's. I would probably own the S300 if I hadn't moved geographical locations. My "old" local dealer is T+A, my "new" local dealer is Devore. I try to support local dealers as much as possible as the hobby brings me quite ... 
KEF Reference 5 vs KEF Reference 5 Meta.
My local dealer has a pair of the new 3's on consignment. Unfortunately I haven't heard them to give any comparisons. Seeing as how big of an upgrade "Meta" was on the rest of their line, I would think these are great but I know nothing about inte... 
KEF Reference 5 vs KEF Reference 5 Meta.
Maybe he's just "curious"?  
T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers
Thanks for the review.  I love the Talis S300. One of the best speaker's I've heard under $20k. I bet these sound great!

I'll ask my dealer for an update tomorrow.  
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@nitewulf I had an MHDT Balanced Pagoda, which is an R2R, for a while too. I really liked the sound of it but thought the build quality was a little weak. It also wouldn't work using my Lumin U1 Mini as a volume control while all other DACs did. I... 
what to do with a stereo that needs repair
What country and part of the country are you in? Someone may have a suggestion for a tech.  
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@nitewulf Even though I've had both in my house, I had a different amp when I tried the Rockna.  My thoughts at the time of the Rockna were that it was slightly less warm than the Bricasti but warmer than quite a few other DACs. The Bricasti was s... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
Wake Up to Find Out is my most played streaming Dead by a lot. I guess it just sounds more "real" than others. I like Dick's Picks sound on 11, 12, 14, 18 and 19. To me live music should have the rawness that was present when it was played. To to... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
@jsalerno277 I found that Katja Werker a few weeks ago. Great recording.  I listened to that Vol 2 album Friday night figuring that's what OP was talking about. Sounds great but overly polished. That's the way Bobby likes it and, unfortunately, t... 
Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround?
There’s distributors out there that seem to protect the manufacturers like it’s some sort of job security thing. Dealers aren’t allowed to contact the company directly. Distributors attitude is if you want this fantastic product you have to wait, ... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
Yes, please explain. The Dead always cared about sound so there's some great recordings out there but what specifically about Bobby are you writing about?  
GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test
I agree @htaddict. Comparing a $500 to a $2000 cable is more interesting to me and probably more "fair" but the idea is to see if he could choose his own cable vs a cheap one.  I think it says more about the cheap cable than it does about his own ... 
GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test
Not surprising when it's a cable made to hit a low price point and look good to attract buyers. It's not designed based on how it sounds. Danny picked 8 out of 10, which also shows that most people don't "need" to spend a lot on cables. He even sa...
