CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help.
I have a question since you guys seem very intelligent about audio. I run my Exogal Comet through a Preamp. They don't recommend it but I listened both ways. Anyway a guy at Exogal said to set the volume at 80 instead of all the way up. Then turn ...

i respect that opinion but truthfully I can't tell the difference between the files through my DAC and the CD player. I listen to a lot of hard rock and maybe it's less picky.

I guess I'm going to stick with the Arcam and live without SACD.

@seasoned. I did not know that. Thanks for that information. Maybe the SACD is not going to be of great importance to me. i guess I could have it hooked into the preamp but it seems like a lot of money and trouble for the few SACD's I've acquired....

I will check out the Marantz. I just received the Ushers a couple days ago. So far I like them. I haven't had a lot of listening time. I'm starting to doubt whether I need a SACD player. Maybe I'll live without SACD. I don't have that many.       ...

I already listen to Macbook connected to the system also. I guess what I'm missing is SACD playback ability. It might be a lot of money for the ability to play SACD. The Marantz seem to be highly regarded. I'm pretty happy with the Arcam. I guess ... 
Consideration of amp change
I heard the Sim Audio and it was fantastic. It was setup with Dynaudio Confidence 1 Platinum speakers. It may have been the 700 though. I'm not sure. 
Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub
I'm just your basic music fan and not nearly as experienced as some of you guys. I appreciate all the knowledge you guys share. I recently listened to the Olympica III and Wilson Sabrina in the same half hour. The Sabrina sounded way better to my ... 
Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting
A seller can just say no. There are no ridiculous offers. If you don't like an offer say no thanks. 
suggestions for small speaker. floorstander of bookshelf.
I heard the Dynaudio C-1 Platinum in a shop and they are beautiful.  
Speaker Choice ?
HazyJ is right when saying opinions can narrow down a search. I would literally have to travel the U.S.A. to audition all the speakers I'm interested in. Everything I read has helped me in my searches for better gear. 
Tried Dynaudio Sapphires with Moon 330A + 330p - very disappointing
I heard the exact system that illuminator has and it was as good as i've heard anywhere. 
9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos?
I bought JC-1's and I never heard the Bel Cantos still. I'm still interested in hearing them. I like the JC-1's but I need new speakers to truly judge them. 
What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
Don't put 'make offer' option and your problem is solved. Any offer received can be accepted or declined.  
DAC vs. Preamp
Great reply YYZsantabarbara! Many choices. I'm checking out the Exogal Comet right now.
