Where is my digital problem: taste, vinyl v. digital, DAC, realities, etc?
NAD was more “exacting” was what I tried to say. Damn autocorrect!

I’m so leery of going down an interconnect rabbit hole to get me to where I want to be.  I’m using DH Labs line level RCAs feeding a Primaluna integrated. From the bluesound I’m feeding the DAC with DH labs coaxdigutal product from the same silver... 
On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing
You’re welcome OP. See my latest thread asking for help in how to make my digital sound better. I used to be in the opposite camp. :)

Mapman!  You’ve always given me good advice so you have great credibility here.

Also, I should note, that after using some nice but intro level Rega and Grado carts (both under $300 or so), I first made the jump to Roksan Corus cart (really a Goldring made for Roskan), then to an Ortofon 2M Black, and then to an AudioTechnica...

I asked a similar question about 3 years ago--if my memory serves me.  Someone here told me to get a great phono preamp.  That was some of the best advice ever. I went from using $500 or less phono pre's  or those that were integrated in integrate... 
Anyone have feedback on Audiogon's Insider membership?
I think a membership based site may have real advantages but if it’s not run correctly or doesn’t have critical mass it wouldn’t be helpful or attractive to me.  
Positioning the Forte III Loudspeaker
That’s terrible! I’m very sorry you have to deal with this. Have you had the issue with other speakers in the same room? You might want to try another speaker to see what kind of results you get. I hope you can figure out a solution. It’s no fun t...

Oh, and to hasten break in, you may need to pump some strong music through them to give the woofers and passive radiators a workout.  They don't move much at low volumes.

@moteef,Hi moteef!  I'm no expert but have been loving hifi since I was 10--no fooling. First off, I'd break them in.  I'm not a huge believer in break in and did not see much break in with regard to midrange and treble. BUT, the woofers in my opi... 
Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised
You are very welcome.  I really try to remember this is our hobby of love.  I've made friends here by extending a passionate hand.  I will add, an echo Wolf, that the Frey is dead quiet.  I hooked it to 98 dB efficient horns and to 90 dB modern lo...

No problem tomcarr!  I can certainly ship it to you to try, but with Schitt's trial program it would be cheaper for you to go that route--unless you have a means of free shipping for you and I to use.
