Thoughts on my current system
Is this Cary a tube cd player? If it is it might be soft.

And slowly move the volume control up and down, the speakers should maintain the coherence, the sound should not break up. Since you listen to digital, the high frequency distortion may somewhat bother you, especially on fast dynamic solos.

We know hundreds of them.Rinpoche, while listening to your system with the Rowland try to dislike it as much as you can. And if you fail then you will have little choice but to get the Rowland. It's a lot of money for one piece of equipment.Mapman...

Swiss have their own ways of doing things and they would expect you to follow them precisely. They also charge you for the honour of owning their equipment. Double the normal price, I mean. Not for me, thank you. As an exotic very expensive choice... 
I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new speakers.looking for some last minute advice
FidelisAV in NH and Goodwin's High End in Boston are reputable dealers. 
I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history.....

There are currently no dealers or distributors in either Canada or the US, but I just have to mention one brand that is considered by some to be the very best or at least among a few very best transistor designs. It is Gryphon Audio based in Denma... 
What's going on with the audio market?
Definitely. Pound is down big time, uncertainty is huge, the dealers will really want to make sales. I usually buy small stuff including cartridges from them.  
Speakers Women Like

I would say we maintained a relative neutrality, most certainly when it came to the wallet. I did hint slightly that LAMM could be the best choice from purely audiophile perspective. But there are other factors here at play, namely aesthetics, con...
