End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance.
Having swapped out everything except speakers, with no impact on sibilance, I identified a pair of monitors that 1) I could afford, 2) are universally praised and 3) come with a refund policy. I figured this was the only thing left to try, aside ...

Bakoon make the highest resolution amplfiers I have used and heard.They sound extremely natural and pure.Next to them probably CH Precision.At a much greater price.The Bakoons are a relative bargain. @jtgofish thanks for the suggestion...intere... 
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
I forgot to mention that I also heard the CH Precision top of the line amp with the top end Clarisys speaker. That amp was amazing until I asked the price. over $100k. @yyzsantabarbara Bets are off if you heard it against a different speaker. ... 
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
I also demoed the Luxman M10x amp and remembered how much I loved the older Luxman m900u. I think the M10x is more detailed and better for my needs than the m900u. Hmm, good to hear that the M10x is more detailed than the m900u (currently have ...

I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
@irjones Streaming is very solid. The worst case you loose your internet connection for a little while and access to the 10 million + albums for a short time. When you guys loose your renting service/sitting without internet, I can still stream... 
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
Get a pair of Meyer Sound monitors (about 8k). Sonically, it does some things that you can't get with a bookshelf in this price bracket. It will beat those TADs, no problem.  
Best speaker brands for transient response
Do you find that the Yamaha pro strengths find their way into their premium home audio models like the NS 2000/5000? Yamaha is a bit unique in the pro scene since they are also a instrument manufacturer. In the 2000s, they made a decision for t... 
How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound?
I think it’s impossible to get 100k, very high end system sound with 5k. But you can get maybe 75-85% of the way there. That last 15% will cost you exponentially more as you near 100%. I do think however, that you can get 98% of 100k system soun... 
Please help me!
Don't sell anything. Your gear is not the problem. Check your cartridge stylus and alignment from time to time though. Your room dimensions, 10' by 10' is a problem (modal hell and reflections). When spurious reflections/relective sound and direc...

 "Vinyl and CD are more popular than ever????" Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, just the opposite of what you stated is true. Yes, vinyl and CD may still be popular with old farts like us, for all the reasons you s... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
It is amazing. I always equate it to riding roller coasters to make music. Plus it’s still a somewhat popular thing which is even more amazing. What’s getting even more popular in ultra high end vinyl audiophilia is putting that vinyl through a... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
Like you I listen to Classical Music, both opera and classical music. As an audiophile with a very well outfitted Roon system and duplicated on the Naim Uniti Core that I started on by ripping my CD collection and editing the metadata and with a ...
