Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
A friend has a 2008 Volvo S80 with the optional sound system where the speakers are labeled Dynaudio.  Sounds quite nice to my ears.  As it should, the original purchaser paid $1,500 for the upgrade in 2008.  
Estate sale Fuselier speakers for $370 but I know nothing about them.
Actually, now that I see the drivers I think you may be buying into a headache.  I would pass if I was you.  
Does Equipment Break In, or Does Our Hearing Adjust?
@ghdprentice Thank you for that explanation of your history with the AR160 amplifiers, that is very interesting. You have a great dealer. Truth be told it would be great to hear your system.  Of course the fact I live in Vermont puts the damper... 
100% USA designed & made DAC
Schiit  
100% USA designed & made DAC
I know you asked for made in USA, but if we want to include Canada I am assuming that EMM Labs Meitner DACs are made there.  
Does Equipment Break In, or Does Our Hearing Adjust?
@ghdprentice I had the experience of breaking in three identical Audio Research Reference 160s amplifiers. Great amps. How did you happen to have three 160s?  Did you buy the 160 stereo version and then decided to buy the monos, or vice versa?  
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
Also, can someone describe the benefits, if any, that are achieved by using a Toslink Optical cable between the Node and external DAC?  Is there much of an improvement over using a quality Coax?  
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
@malibu457 you can buy a complete package PSU and regulator board for the 2i far cheaper then the $575 that TP is asking. Would you mind specifying the model and seller of the above upgrade PSU and regulator board that you are referring to?  ... 
BluSound Node and Node 2
I would hazard a guess that Bluesound sells more servers than all the other brands combined, including ifi. And it is sold at such a low cost that owners do not need to "defend" Bluesound product quality in fear of losing resale. So IMHO looking... 
BluSound Node and Node 2
@soix   But, if you’re going hard wired I think the Zen Stream is hard to beat although their customer service is even worse than Bluesound if you ever need it. I just don't understand what could have changed that people are discussing Bluesou... 
Low buzzing through speaks
Echoing the above, try "a cheater plug on the Mac to see, and if it helps".  To eliminate the same in my system I installed a Jensen Iso-Max VRD-1FF 75 Ohm Inline Digital CATV Isolator Hum Eliminator between the internet cable and Xfinity cable bo... 
Need 25 foot interconnects
@nymarty   Will try Blue Jeans Cable but wondering if there are other companies that can do that length. I suppose I can also try DIY. I have purchased all of my Canare L-4E6S RCA interconnects from Redco.  Just order what you want on their on... 
Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza
It is often posted that the stratospheric high price of some high end cables is due to the extensive R & D that goes into the formulation of the final cable. This is just my opinion, but when I hear this I wonder what kind of jobs the posters... 
Conrad Johnson LP66s Problems
@dsper  I start it playing. Occasionally, one channel will go out and then come back on with a thump. A while later, it will do this again I know you are discussing an amp, but I recently had this exact problem with my tube preamp, especially ... 
Linear power supply
@robshaw   I'm currently using the included switching supply that sounds great. Very impressed with the Project units SOUND! WOW!  You could consider continued enjoyment with what you have as it is?  You sound very satisfied now.
