Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
Buy a used Pass for about $5k if you can find one.  
Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
I have heard a lot of plausible hype from Coda folks. I nearly went that route but decided Pass had resale and Coda? Well probably not so much.Luxman is out in my opinion. Compared Sudgen to Pass. No comparison-Pass much better.Some nice Nazi gear... 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...
So, maybe my ears were not deceiving me when I found the 30.2s better than I expected. I plan to spend some time listening the 5+s at Hawthorne in a couple weeks. I do love quads sound. But I think my dual concentric Tannoys FSMs may remain as the... 
Roon for high end audio?
G-rIng,I have had an Innuos Zen 3 since Jan 2021 and oddly have had noemail notice about their new software. I bought new from a dealer.Doubly odd since the two email questions I have sent them were all answered nearly the same day. Emmanuel was t... 
Roon for high end audio?
My interest was piqued when I read the Troy Evo comments.As I looked at the product line I saw only the top product doesnot employ wall warts. At $14kUS it should be good. The bottom product is close to $4k and comes with warts. Seems a bit farcic...

You will be shocked-and I do not use that term lightly- by the improvement you will have by adding an external DAC like an Ares.You may even find you can spend some time back with your CDs.Try some XRCDs by JVC. Best sound I've found on digital. 
Roon for high end audio?
I chose streaming as my exclusive source for many reasons.Most  will say a TT will give you a better sound but along with thatis the fact that vinyl choices of music are limited. Streaming is growingevery year. I use Roon and Qobuz. My Innuos Stre...

So glad your are through the fires and back to life. Congrats!Not sure if you mentioned what db levels you listen in generallybut if it is 55-75db that may change your needs and save some $.You live 2 hours from a listening experience you may enjo... 
Speaker Road Trip
I was so excited to see your thread title headline and then see yourtarget brands. I recall making some suggestions which it seems youattempted. I have faith that your dedication to this task will bear the fruit youseek. And since the whole fam da... 
List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey.
This thread makes me want to attend a " Breakthroughs for Tweakers"show somewhere. I have recently become very curious about bass array breakthroughs.Perhaps Tony1954 could start a thread on his experiencewith others contributing what they learned... 
AUDIO RESEARCH VS VTL
I would look at Manley and Atmosphere for moderate pricing as well as value.VAC is the most sought after US company I think. The owner is a 2nd generationhail fellow well met person who exudes credibility.  
$2000.00 to spend on new speakers.
Your selection of gear shows a lot of good choices you have made.I like horns and larger woofers but for some reason the Heresy never sounded quite right to me. The good news is that they are one of the most popular speakers so resale is easy. I s... 
Help with Shortlist of Speakers! (SF vs Devore vs Others?)
You do not say at what decibel level you listen. If low then speaker size not relevant. The great mid range and strong bass are not usually found together.Sonus Faber although pricey are good speakers.From what I read you need to learn a good bit ... 
Speakers for 300B --- Klipsch Heresy 4 or other ideas???
Gr Research 
US Speaker Manufacturer MOST in need of a Great Designer??
By great I mean the sound but looks can kill too. (B&W)AJ is a proven talent.  I chose Klipsch because I believe they have much growth potential.Best would be if designed his own line.
