Anybody here pair a Kinki EX-M7 with a Magnepan LRS+ ?
SST Son would be my choice. Designed by the great James Bongiorno of SAE/GAS/Sumo - now Spread Spectrum Technology. I have two GAS Sons and a Thoebe preamp. Also a Sumo Andromeda amp and Athena preamp. All good stuff!  
Significant steps? (DAC)
A technically perfect DAC can be had for $100. That’s what I use. Why spend more?In the case of ever more costly DAC’s it seems to me to be the Emperor’s New Clothes that the obsessed have bought into. They all look different so therefore they mus...

I have a pair of KLH Nines still working (sort of!). Along with two pairs of Quad 57's.

Has Anyone Else Listened to Carina Round?
I have ordered a Pucifer CD and about to order a Carina CD - Dancing in Slow Motion. Thank you Mijostyn for the heads up!  
CD Transport
Since you believe that CD transports sound different nothing I say will convince you otherwise. Therefore buy the least expensive of the three.  
Headshell fix and a New Goldring E3
@llg98ljk +1! That's a nice system you put together! Too many are caught up in the quest of buying ever more expensive components when in reality diminishing returns set in quickly!

Go to Monoprice on eBay. No need to waste money on $$$$ boutique cable.

@1happyman +1! I second your choice of the Wiim Pro! Die-hard 'philes won't like it because how can anything so cheap be any good? Doesn't Wiim have a budget version for like $70?   
Seeking the Ultimate Reference for Tubes
Every tube-o-phile should have a copy of the General Electric Tube Manual on hand for verifying operating voltages, transconductance, current draw . . . of the vast majority of receiving tubes.  
John Strohbeen from Ohm Acoustics passed away
I had a phone conversation with John some years ago. I told him about my find at Goodwill of a pair of Sound Cylinders for a song! John was surprised and remarked that they typically sold used for around $1200/pair! I still have them in use and wi... 
I want to give away my Audio Research D-52
Bad idea to encase parts of the circuitry in resin or epoxy! How stupid can the designers be! Something goes wrong and all you have is a door stop! I might have read a positive review of the D52 way back when in TAS.   
Happy Audiophile Day!
Happy Audiophile Day to all the Audiogon members! Enjoy your favorite tunes on the wide range of systems you all have assembled! This is an inclusive hobby where all are welcome!  
Pink Floyd Aficionados
Get a pair of Quad 57's!
