Two, thanks for sharing.  I'll check it out.  Verd, The Brinkmann Nyquist is on the 'warm' side of things and still very detailed. They have dealt wiht the pre an post ringing that ruins digital for me with most units.  I own Vandersteen Quatro CT...

Doing awesome my friend.  Yes, Johnny can be trusted.  He down sells more than anyone I know.  He always tries to get folks into things under their budget, which isn't always the best, but I fully get it.I'm in the market for a DAC and am looking ... 
Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers
Why would anyone put a footer under a speaker that allows the speaker to move at all?  That defeats teh purpose of seeing a speaker in place as the drivers are moving around.  That's just me, but I've never in my life heard a speaker sound better ...

I heard a pair of the 3.5's with Quicksilver amps and a pre back in the day and loved them.  I believe it was the 3.5's.  As most know, Johnny is a great guy and as good a brick and mortar as there is.   
MSB vs dCS Bartok
Interesting thread. Looking at  Nyquist mk2,  Bartok and MSB Discrete with ProUSB and built in extra PSU.  Have heard Nyquist MK1 and loved it but wasn’t listening to buy. Liked Bartok a ton too, but again a long time ago. Loved the Select when I ... 
Auralic Aries
I use a mesh system and connect directly.  Works like a charm. Never lost a signal and it sounds better with each steamer I've had in here than going wifi.  Heard that Auralic's wifi is a very good way to go though.  I have heard of a couple of fo... 
2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C)
It's just a center channel that is matched to be used with the Vandersteen line.  As you know, I personally feel that folks need to keep all their speakers with the centers that are built for their various lines to keep the sound similar. 
2.1 to 5.2 (Vandersteen 2C)
I agree with Eric.  Vandersteen's are outstanding to many of us.  They make the best speaker to integrate with yours.

Happy Friday jafant.  Hope all is great... 
Auralic Aries
That's too bad.  I always have wifi issues with TV and everything else in the house, lol.  I use an ethernet connection, because my homes wifi sucks (I need to get a new router and am lazy), lol.  That's for a streamer though and I'm all set there... 
Vandersteen Treo CT or Proac D48R
I agree 100%. He's one of the few who actually undersells.  He will show you the least expensive way to get what you want.  
Vandersteen Treo CT or Proac D48R
congrats. late to this party, but I was a very long time Proac user and still love the brand.  I love the speaker you got. I switched to Vandersteen Treo's after visiting Johnny to buy a set of new Proac's, lol.  That said, you will LOVE your new ... 
Paradigm Persona series
The problem many of us have with the Persona's are the highs. They are tipped up a bit when measured properly. This will allow them to artificially sound more open maybe, but they are fatiguing to many, but not all.this is why you must audition in... 
Paradigm Persona series
what's your price range Milk?  That's important to know ;).  Do you like a true neutral sound or do you like a speaker that can be tilted in the upper end a bit? 
Paradigm Persona series
only you can be the judge of that. Many find the Persona to be a bit bright and fatiguing and others love them. Anytime you get that type of response from a speaker you must listen to it with you gear. Even dealers who post on them say they have t...
