CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
George the MSB DACs do sound great. Yes the R2R Multibit dacs do give you the full dynamic impact, but not just the MSB’s I’ve heard those same dynamics from the Holo and Denafrips dacs as well, which are also R2R multibit dacs.Cheers George 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Dac Chips are a thing of the past. Not gonna find any High End Dac’s or CD players that use them anymore. Too true, today’s best to me are better discrete R2R Multibit dacs that really show up if an album has been compressed or not, my MSB star...

I’m one of those tone deaf doofuses who actually often prefers streamed versions of selections over my original Actually compression is good for that, it’s also done purposely with the higher end earing aids.Cheers George

“I predict you’ll all be listening and likely loving streaming at some point.” Yes we will, but let make sure it’s the way we want it, untouched/uncompressed, not butchered for listening to in the car/ear phones/ipods/tv/background dinner music. W...

New Klipsch Forte IV
Don't really like them much, too in your face, but I think the Forte are the most "musical" of all the Klipsch, but definitely not the loudest. I had the MkIII Cheers George 
Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
elan120 Have a good look at the Gryphon Diablo 120, killer high biased Class-A sound but with up 120 watts of A/B, they pop up used sometimes also, and they will be a keeper as they can drive anything for the future because they have big current a... 
Sonus Faber vs Wilson
jomonhifi OP Gryphon Diablo 300.Wonderful amp. That’s defiantly a keeper, and will drive either the Sonus Faber vs Wilson to their best. The sound of the Gryphon is Class-A type of sound, which to me is prefect. But some say it can sound a "little...

CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
"MQA provides the opportunity to deliver the exact sound heard from the real master without actually putting the crown jewels out there to be stolen." Errr,  I don’t think so, just these couple that are downloadable are squashed (compressed) prett...

mapman19,414 postsAll fuses are very profitable. Always have been always will be. I’ve sold a few and seen the markup. This just takes it to the nth degree. If audiogon were a convenience store the $100 fuses would be in the checkout aisle for imp...
