Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life!
I have no doubt the new Marantz is the best CD player you’ve had but maybe the speakers are better suited to your ears and room also.  
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I have both the Vault2 and Node2 and can't remember it EVER dropping out . I'm sorry you gentlemen are having that issue. That would be frustrating. 
Full range tower speakers with bass under $10k
I was in your shoes 1 month ago. I have a very nice pair of stand mounted speakers. I wanted more bass and fullness of sound. I did not want to give up clarity though. I bought the Goldenear Triton Reference speakers. First off, I am looking at th... 
Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience
bfjones01 I highly recommend the Goldenear Triton Reference speakers. I have had some high end speakers but I think these are a step above. I really can't imagine needing or wanting more. I have McIntosh 452 amp and C50 preamp. Perfect match.  
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
Great topic. I would love to be all warm and fuzzy about dealers. I walk into my local dealer and they act as if I am  imposing on them just to listen to something. Dealers need to understand that they are selling high dollar products and you migh... 
Bluesound Vault 2i, Cocktail Audio X40 or ??????????
You can stream Pandora through bluetooth to the Vault or Node. My advice is buy the Vault and rip the CDs directly. 
Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible?
Odyssey is a great option.  I believe them to be a great product for reasonable pricing. 
Magico A3
I heard them at Axpona and loved them. One of the best sounds of the weekend. 
Amp for Odyssey Lorelei Speakers?
Stick with Klaus. Otherwise,I have a Nova 300 that ticks a lot of boxes. 
Schiit not that Good?
I agree that the Esoteric room was awesome. The size of the sound was top notch. The Schiit/ Salk room was fantastic though. It was a crisp and clean sound for a fraction of the cost.  
Contour 30s with Simaudio 600i
I have heard the 600i and it is awesome with Dynaudio. I'm not sure why I haven't bought one myself. 
Trade dynaudio focus for Sonus Faber?
Dynaudio should get more attention as a top speaker brand.  
This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in.
I decided to go a little less expensive route. I bought some Odyssey Stratos Extreme mono blocks with an Odyssey Tempest Preamp. So far I really love the sound and feel like I can live with this sound for the foreseeable future.  
peachtree amp vs. traditional amp
I have a traditional Odyssey Tempest preamp and Stratos amp setup in my living room. It sounds excellent also. I have had Devialet 400 class D that I grew to be unsatisfied with. I can only speak to the Peachtree Nova 300 driving Salk Song3 speake... 
peachtree amp vs. traditional amp
I have a Peachtree Nova 300 in my bedroom and it sounds awesome. It is easy to use for streaming also. i highly recommend it.
