Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room?
Budget would be anywhere from $900 to $1,800. Willing to go to the top end of that range if it makes sense. All my other equipment is used (MF 3.2cr amp, TAD-150 pre) and could go with a used pair, but I'm slightly weary of used speakers. 
Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room?
Okay, Unsound, I can believe the assessment.So, if I'm looking for something for my room that's a above the 1C's (just for comparison sake), what would be on the list to audition? Is a good sound stage possible in a 12 x 20 room? 
Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room?
I've been weighing the same speakers for a just slightly bigger room: 12 x 20 with the speakers on the long wall. Is this still unrealistic amount of space for the 2CEs? What other recommendations do people have for that kind of space that's a ste...

Still looking at separates but have found my interest peaked at the Cayin A 50T, the Creek 5350Se, and the Vincent Sv-226 MKII. Vincent looks great at the top end of my budget when I need to add a phono still.I've narrowed my pre's based on simple...

i was interested in the pv10, but I still do want a remote volume control. yeah, i could get off my butt, but I've been doing that with my receivers for 24 years.

I've been avoiding Integrateds just because it becomes too much to think about. But if I were interested in a hybrid integrated... any suggestions?The ad for the Edge says it has a tuner and phono (sounds like a receiver). But the Edge website doe...

Elevick,Have any specific models to consider?thanks,sean 
Just bought a new DAC...
Upstateaudio,I've been considering the Musiland MD-10, too. One thing that's made me hesistant is the LCD screen. It looks pretty bright. Is it distracting? 
Any experiences with a Diyeden Great March II?

Budget DAC with switchable inputs
Thuan98,But I'll have TWO Toslinks to connect to it. Hence the need to adapt one to BNC.-sean 
Budget DAC with switchable inputs
The Musiland looks like it might be what I could use for multiple inputs. Are BNC and coax(RCA) digital connections the same signal with different connectors? Because I could buy a TOSLINK to coax adapter and that could work to to handle my other ...
