| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? @chorus, well I'll mention Audio Note. I was happily using a Border Patrol DAC in an otherwise AN system, and was happy with the sound. Switched to an AN 2.1x Sig. and the difference was amazing. It will only do CD quality sample rates, but the... | |
| What speaker has the best tweeter? My Vandersteen Treo CT’s with carbon tweeters are the best I’ve heard. | |

| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. You may be right about subs, but my Rogers LS3/5a’s do not sound thin at all. It probably matters which amp is used with them. Also, I listen nearfield and that must make a difference. Great speakers! | |

| Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years The only one I’ve ever owned, an XA30.8. Love it! | |

| A decent preamp to complete my setup? As @Georgehifi suggested, the Freya (used V1) would be an excellent choice for the Nuforce. I’ve used this combo and have nothing negative to report. Plus, usable remote! | |

| Rogue Sphinx or Belles Aria??? I have enjoyed my Belles Aria integrated so much that I recently ordered the Aria monoblocs. I plan to use these with a Backert Rhumba 1.2, and cannot wait to pair these with some LS3/5a's. I'm hoping this combo has great synergy. | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s Love my Panasonic plasma, and it serves to warm up the room in the cooler weather. That, and the tube amps keep the room toasty! |
