Buying Speakers Based on Specs
Thanks to all your input. Sounds (no pun intended) like it is not a good idea. I would love to have the Spendor or PMC speakers in my house with my electronics for a trial. But I haven't found a dealer or seller (I live in Houston) any brand, besi... 
Fyne Audio - Anyone heard lf it?
Don't know why a company such as Tannoy ignores the US which I think is a substantial market. I too had trouble locating a dealer. Growing up in SE Asia, my dad had Tannoys at home. I emailed Fyne audio enquiring about their speakers a while back,... 
PMC Speakers
I have a tough time getting the PMC authorized seller for Houston to even respond to my interest in Twenty25 23. I have a preference for British speakers and read wonderful reviews about them. Maybe this is part of the reason PMC has low market sh... 
for Bill Evans fan
I was introduced to Bill Evans by 2 people in another forum -thanks to jafant, and gprace. The first album I heard of Bill Evans, "Portraits of Jazz" and I was hooked. Now I have over 20 of his CD albums. My most favorite from the 60s are "Explora... 
Job amps: Suck?
I was in the market for a power amp back then and considered Bryston 3B^3 and Odyssey Stratos. Then I came across the Job 225 "hype" at audioshark.org, and I believe I combed the entire web for info and did not find a negative review. Here are sev... 
Job amps: Suck?
@roxy54 Which report(s) did you read led you to believe they lack in body and color?  
Power Cables

Thank you all for your input. 
Power Cables
Thank you. The last point about best cable to preamp, then source and then amp is helpful.  
DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS?
Actually, the Creek Audio CD 50 is the best you can get for around your budget. It has dual Wolfson DAC, one for each channel, multiple digital inputs and great reviews. MRSP $1,400 but you can find deals for around $1000.  
Converting cd's to high resolution audio
I am also in the market for a CD ripper. There is the Cocktail Audio X40 streamer/cd ripper/ cd player (and X30 that includes an amp) that interests me, but very few reviews out there. Compared to the other rippers on the market, this one uses a E... 
Bluesound Vault 2
I am considering the Vault too. Can you play and rip the CD at the same time? That helps kill time. 
What amp for tannoy xt6f ?
I highly recommend the Job INTegrated. 
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
My Job Pre 2 does not have an on/off switch so it is on all the time per design. My power amp (Job 225) is on only when I am playing. Takes about 1 CD album length to warm up. In my previous set up with Hafler 913 pre amp and 9303 power amp, on se... 
Job Integrated Amp.
Best kept secret...I have the Job 225 and the Pre2 after searching high and low for an amp that suit my criteria.
