| $3,000 Planar Speakers I would not discount a pair of Maggie's if I were you.B | |
| wet blankets, CSNY and what a difference a DAC makes Ooh boy are you looking for trouble!As one of the resident Vandy fanboys, I would suggest getting at least one 2wq sub to complement you great speakers. After that buy an Ayre Codex DAC.What are you using for amp and pre?Bob | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 @mitch2 Pat ( I don't know his last name) has been my contact since I contacted SMcAudio. I don't know about Kris, but maybe he isn't on the phone as much as Pat. Some folks are better at taking calls than others.@hifiman5 Yes, I got the amps back... | |

| Suggestion on XLR Cables I would contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere. He can give you great information regarding balanced cables and can provide you cables, as well, at a super price point.Bob | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers I would suggest you try to listen to Vandersteen, as well.Magnepan would be a second choice- and would probably be close to the Bose in terms of the diffuse sound.Bob | |

| Step down transformer (220V to 100/110V) or buy 220V version of Shindo preamp I am confused.Do you need 220 or 110?Though I haven't done it, I think stepping down from 220 to 110 would be fine. B | |

| Burning/breaking in new equipment? Very nice gear for a first system.All previous advice is great.If your electric rates are not too high, you can leave things on 24/7.Burn in takes some time, so just listen and enjoy your new stereo. When things come together, you will notice a su... |
