New Speaker advice
I am going against the flow here, but I have a friend with an older Denon AVR and I am always amazed at how good it sounds.  I have always thought Denon makes very nice sounding gear for its price points.  
Room Too Dead
Or, before going crazy. If it was me before doing anything else, why not just buy a graphic equalizer and make adjustments to increase or decrease the offending eq bands. I am a fan of the reasonably priced Schiit Lokius which I use in my system... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
ghdprentice brings up a great point I hadn't considered in mentioning using it mostly for its DAC.  It would be nice though to have a spare laser assembly in a cabinet somewhere.   Just like I will now buy a spare remote for my electronics to have... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
Regarding the ARC CD6SE, are replacement lasers available from ARC or eBay/other, or is it destined to be an expensive boat anchor when the current laser goes bye bye?  
High Fidelity Cables?
@agisthos and @68pete Other than the fact he has apparently ripped off tranchautuan for several $thousand and is not making any timely attempts to pay him back he is just a peach of a fella. This is of course assuming, as I am, that tranchautua...

@wharfy Will be auditioning an Audio Research CD6SE this coming weekend. Curious how you were able to secure an audition.  I was under the impression that the CD6SE was discontinued two or three years ago after a two-year run because Phillips (...

They know we will pay anything they can think of

High Fidelity Cables?
@tranchautuan  Just curious if you had a chance to talk with Schultz regarding the $3,000+ that you mentioned he owes you?  
Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120
@bigtwin I purchased the H590 from an original owner a few years back.  You would never have known it wasn’t brand new when I received it.  As quality amps are built to last for decades, paying 50% or more extra just to get the "new car smell" ...

I'd consider waiting until all the bugs are worked out of the new Schiit transport and for a couple of reviews.  I have only owned two lesser priced Schiit products, the SYS and Lokius, but like their overall business model.  
High Fidelity Cables?
@tranchautuan @ozzy I lost around 3k+ usd (topup money) and my original HFC Ultimate Reference RCA pair when I got a deal to send my cable to HFC for upgrade. Happy some still raise it up I hope that this Rick dude pays back tranchautuan, e... 
Digital input amp
@tvrgeek  I see one here just can't stop insulting people. Sigh.  Nobody can learn anything that way.  Actually @tvrgeek, here's a heads up.  Most of us here have a fairly thick skin.  But what would you think about someone who starts a thread... 
Is there a "Help" Thread?
@tonydennison I think you should just take a second and email A’gon through their communications portal and let them take care of you.  
Is there a "Help" Thread?
Actually, I have had fast and great success just using the help request function of this site.  Pretty much the opposite experience as above.
