| the best, cost-no-object, music streamer? There are some interesting high end options available these days. One is Boulder. The 1021 also allows you to spin discs, but not no other digital inputs. http://www.boulderamp.com/1021-p1.htmlAnother option is the new Weiss MAN201.http://www.weis... | |
| the best, cost-no-object, music streamer? Define streaming device. There are so many different architectures to get digital audio files into a Dac these days. What functionality are you looking for in the device. Storage? Library management? D/A conversion? | |
| Verity Audio speakers A little of base may be, but the parsifals I owned for a while benefited tremendously from putting them on stillpoint ultras. Not cheap, but worth the investment in my experience. | |
| A Dac about two thousand used Definitely consider the ps audio perfectwave MKII. | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist SRV without a doubt | |
| toning down the ps audio perfect wave dac I think would be a complete shot in the dark. Irrespsectively, I would get the upgrade first and then reconsider. From what I recall the upgrade does improve smoothness of the high frequencies. | |
| Upgrade speakers from Sonatina IIIs under $5K? I had the Silverline LaFolia's and went to the old Revel Studio's which can be had for less than 5K used. I definite step up.

| Bobo Stenson Trio: Indicum Thanks guys. Big time fan of both ECM and small ensamble acoustic Jazz. One 15 seconds sample track was enough to convince me Bobo is right up my alley. Ordered both CD's. Nothing better than a new find in music. It does not happen enough. | |
| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help For a small room, I would give the Thiel 3.7 a listen. Heard them once in a smallish room (at a dealer) and they blew me away. | |
| Favorite Pianists I used to be very much into Keith Jarrett, still a fan of his, but recently discovered and fell in love with Masabumi Kikuchi. | |
| Dave Brubeck Greatness as a composer or as a player? Two different things. I rank him extremely high and a unique innovator as a composer, and one of many fine pianists as a player. He also had a knack for letting people around him shine.Franky, there are so m... | |
| Your Top 5 Favorite Power Ballads Not sure these are all power ballads, but my list is:Love Reign O're me - The WhoSince I've been loving you - Led ZeppelinOne - U2Black - Pearl Jam | |
| Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years? Nice. Not many would spend nearly 2x on their source as their speakers, but I have heard the Thiels and they are phenomenal, provided you have a moderate size room. | |
| Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years? The PS audio perfectwave transport for sure.... | |
| Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years? Doggiehowser, that is only three. What four >$10K CD players / DACs do you own for the other days of the week?What preamp do you use with the XDS1? I'm still on the fence about a preamp with my DAC2X. |
