Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
^I posted mine for sale, I decided to keep it simple and just have one set of speakers rather than to deal with the "which speaker should I listen to today" decision. Minimalist at heart. I know some people enjoy swapping in and out speakers but I...

Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
The tempus switch from network acoustics has done my system wonders. I also use their muon pro. Wonderful stuff.   
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
After owning both the Devilles and the Scalas, I keep teetering back and forth between just keeping one set of speakers or both. I am currently in honeymoon phase with the Scalas and when swapping to the Devilles, I still do enjoy em quite a bit.... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
After demoing the wilson sasha v, the magico s3, focal scala, I ended up getting the Scala.   Bit surprised as I pre judged the focal due to hating their headphone sound. I initially thought I would like the magico s3s the most as it looked the ... 
Focal Utopia Scala Evo
Focal Scala was my favorite out of magico s3, wilson sasha V, and scala. I bought the Scala.

Another speaker I tried recent that surprised me a bit was the Focal Maestro + Scala. The vocals/mid range on that is very clean without that tipping point of over doing it like on the Magicos.    The Magicos are really interesting to me because...

Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
Comparing 2 dissimilar speaker designs does still satisfy curiosity in some form, regardless if actually interested in purchasing or not (demoing tomorrow at audio excellence canada)   Sure, Mere words will not tell you how it sounds, but was ju... 
Fleetwood Deville vs Wilson Sound
Sasha V, since that is there newest model. For the poster mentioning "base" I am pretty sure he meant bass. I still feel the Fleeetwood Devilles are being slept on quite a bit. Not enough people know about them and how great they sound, imo at l...

That was pretty good and is in line of what I would sort of expect comparison wise. What is bard? The vocals coming from the Devilles are quite something special for sure.  
Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions
Best DAC I ever tried and used myself was the Playback Designs MPD6. I liked it so much that I traded in my MPD6 for the MPD8. I am not the type to spend 20k+ on DACs... first time for me.  
New Technics SU-G700 Mk II on the horizon
If you use your own separate DAC and connect a digital cable (S/PDIF) to the Technics amp, there would be too much back and forth converting (digital to analog to digital to analog). If one uses their own external dac connecting with an analog c...
