Audiolab 6000cdt or Simaudio Moon 260DT (transport only)
I'm using an Emotiva ERC-4, solid build with my MHDT Stockholm v2. no issues 
Best DAC / Budget
Look at the MHDT DACs very musical 
Anyone Have Experience With Decware Se840UFO As Well As Tube Rolling It
I bought my Decware mini torii used but it is worth the wait.  I have a 9 month wait for my Grommes PHI-26 and it was definitly worth the wait 
Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well
well the DAC in my Emotiva CDP doesn't sound as good as my MHDT DAC 
Do I need a new DAC/streamer. Considering?
Look for a used MHDT DAC, may take awhile but damn they sound musical.AtlantisIstanbulStockholmOrchard 
New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
@daveman2  Yes joking but that's a decent name for an amp  lol 
Need HELP with my CD player
Use the Arcam as a transport, get a nice DAC like a MHDT 
how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements
4 Watts drives my 92db Ref 3A de Capos just fine.  Not concert level but loud enough in a 12 x 20 room with openings on the side

Alta Moro Amp  you'll like it 
Universal disc players as CD players.
I use an Oppo DV-981HD in a second system at my cabin. It was ok then I realized i had a MyDac sitting around and added that and wow big improvement with just low end DAC. The Oppo is slow and alone it is not that great. 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
I needed some hi eff. speakers for my 6 watt Grommes amp.  Found some Klipsch Quartets with crites XO and Ti tweeters.  Not shouty, does sound more like live music than my other setup (4 watt with de Capos).  We listen for hours, no issue with fat... 
Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
Some big Monitors like Ref 3A de Capos or Audio Note?  8 inch woofers. 
CD Player or Transport
I went with a used MHDT DAC and a new CDP (bought first).  Should have just gone with a transport  but couldn't see that far ahead 
TADAC tube dac help
I did a google image search for this and found several iterations of the back. 
Does Anyone Use a Portable CD Player as Their Source?
