New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
While I'm a Wilson guy... you have some PS Audio gear now, get them to send some FRs on trial.  
Six DAC Comparison
Just scanned these comments and didn't see the obvious thought.  The biggest influence on the sound of a DAC is the analog output circuit.  After it converts, it's that small Amplifier that outputs your 2-6 Volt signal.  My excellent dCS Bartok no... 
Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works
See Review in Tone Audio this month... Isotek V5 Corvus.    
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
Another thing... Can’t tolerate that reviewer’s voice again for a replay, but when he discussed the Bartok’s value, don’t remember that he mentioned that Bartok is also a world class streamer as well. So you save the cost and hassle of choosing a... 
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
Much has been said here that is correct and incorrect. In any case this isn’t about free speech, but is about poor business judgment. To start, I am a dCS Bartok owner and love my streamer DAC. I bought it some years ago at probably half the price... 
A nightmare regarding streaming?
DROPBOX may be the answer for some of you.  https://www.dropbox.com/home  
Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs?
This was an excellent thread.  Maybe the best I've read on this forum. Thanks to all the contributors.  
Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ?
I’ll bet you are attracted because the price is below market. My guess is the dealer took this unit in for trade and may have more in it than he’d like. He boxed it and priced it low to sell on the net and wants no hassle. Figures the brand will s... 
Focal v Wilson
Had WP7s for years and loved them. Replaced them with the original Sashas.  The Sashas were a real upgrade, more even sounding and produced a big speaker sound.  They are available used at good prices.  Now have Yvettes, also an excellent speaker... 
Kind of Blue
Like most of what is posted here.  For reference I prefer music from instruments that don't plug into the wall, that you can actually hear the lyrics and that one does not jump up and down to listen to.  That said, guitar is a favorite and Joe Pas... 
Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.
Large speaker cables are a problem?  Really?  Not to my ears.  
Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.
As mentioned, my Wilsons, with their big pretty hex heads, don’t accept banana connections.  Their latest model terminations now do.  And they sell them as expensive replacements.  Supposedly sound somewhat better.  Even my dealer thinks I probabl... 
Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.
Matthew,  I must defer to your professional skills. B&W and their knurls are a bit of a mystery though.  Years ago I had some Nautilus 800s and have no idea anymore how the speaker cables attached.   Enjoy the music.  
Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.
Vice-grips on your binding posts?  Really?  Must do wonders for resale.  AudioQuest makes a great hand wrench that fits both terminal sizes. For my speaker cable, prefer bananas on the amplifier end as I need to swap + and - for a phase reversal.... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Easy choice here.  I don't like music made by anything that plugs into the wall, want to understand the lyrics, and I don't jump up and down while listening. Also MQA is now a proven to be lossy and noisy process.  The Provence of some music has ...
