Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt just for fun, we should figure out a time/day to meet at John's to listen. I personally don't care about who wins what or what some folks think is best. I wish them all the luck in the world. I also thinks it's silly for folks to read what ot...

Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
If you have ever put a switch into any system and listened and then taken it out, there is a world of difference even in lower resolution systems. Even the Bryston changes the sound for the worst. They just don't work well even in the high end sto...

Guys, sorry about that post. I have MS and often have some congnitive stuff when I post. Hard to explain it, but thanks for understanding.I heard it on the Vandy 5's too and it was still HOLY CRAP. Heck it should be for the price. All of your DAC'... 
Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
I am selling my NAD 326BEE that did a great job in my second system. I can see the larger one working well, however when I heard the NEW Rotel vs the NAD as well as that Linn that was talked about above, I felt the Rotel was much more dynamic and ... 
Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why?
Lou, I'm selling my teak Studio 1's as well as my teak Proac Supertowers if you have interest, lol. New surrounds in the 1's and newer drivers in the towers. Both in awesome shape, lol...

Matt, was at Audio Connections yesterday and got to hear the Romulus with the Vandy 7's in the big room. HOLY CRAP. If any of these other DAC;s sound better, then any of them are keepers. I was blown away by how right the sound was and it was just... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I have enjoyed many of these speakers folks are talking about. I heard the Vandersteen 7's again yesterday driven by Audio Research 10k stereo amp and their matching preamp. Nothing special for that price range. It was through the Romulus CD playe... 
Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker
Heard the new Rotel integrated at Audio Connection in NJ yesterday. Was really caught off guard. I was in shock as to how good it sounded for an affordable integrated. It even has balance inputs and the A/B that you are looking for. I think it's i...

Steve and Matt, thanks for the answers. That's what I thought. I feel that if a designer is designing cost no object products that they should put the best on or into them, however in cases like tubes or cords, maybe they should do what Steve just... 
Good inexpensive temporary speakers
Dennis Had eara with Carey? Yes these are from that era. The bass isn't over ripe at all. In fact it's very tuneful and tight. Iike most things it all depends on your amps. It's a top notch speaker and that's why it's held it's value. It was worth... 
Good inexpensive temporary speakers
I am selling a pair of Proac Super towers AND studio 1's in teak. I think he'd love the Studio 1's to be honest. I have matching Target stands for them too, but they need new spikes, lol. I have loved my Proacs over the years. Yes, they do hold th...

yes they do belong elsewhere, however you can't have it both ways. It's a forum on the internet and folks will post their feelings on things. If folks buy based on what they read.....sorry, that's just MY pet peeve I guess. I didn't love reading t... 
Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
Thanks Steve. It's getting better and better. I can't for the TT weight to be shipped. That's going to tighten up the bass I"m sure. I'm surprised that I love it so much already. It's such a great system for me in my room. I'm loving it. It just s...
