Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Back from a long trip to Japan and a long weekend in Knoxville to see my OU Sooners win a big one. Just catching up it seems like the room is rearing it's ugly head again. Matt, get Johnny over there to figure out the fix. I'd be surprised if he c...

Matt, congrats on the search nearing it's end. I'm very happy for you and am glad that things sound encouraging. I'm just back from Japan (what a two weeks that was) and just catching up on this thread. I too can't wait to hear your impressions of... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
I'm currently in Japan for a few weeks but I saw this thread still going so I thought I'd share. Vandersteen will tell you that set up correctly the Treos with the pair subs will get you very very close to the Quatros and allow you to put the Treo...

Richfield, sorry I missed you yesterday and Matt, I'm sorry I'll miss you today. I've liked many of the Dynaudio I've heard. I think that may have been the speaker I"d have gotten if I didn't fall in love with the Vandersteen when I did. As for se... 
Incredible review of Vandersteen 7 mkII in...

Guys, thanks so much. I will need to keep this thread handy when I go down to visit. Always looking to hear things I don't get to hear at home. I've found some great stuff this way in the past. That's one way that I've gotten my recent system.

Z, where do you live? My sister is in Lido Key and mom lives in Venice. I get down there a bit and have never seen a high end store on the west coast. Are there any? Thanks.
