Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases
Many people have not realized that the default price listed on the Vinshine website is Singapore dollars unless you hit the drop down for USD.  
New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan
I am also interested in these new speakers. But someone mentioned what will be the availability of speaker driver replacements if ever needed. This is one of those things I would not have thought about. I am spoiled in that my older speakers use ... 
Luxman D07x
@rpeluso It would not hurt if the individual you are quoting would use verbiage such as "in my opinion" or the like when telling people what is musical or not.  
ARC VSi75SE v. MF Nu-Vista 800
This is from the manual.  But one has to wonder if they are afraid a person new to audio and tubes will shock themselves or if the unit is just unfriendly for anyone, even with experience, to bias. MAINTENANCE Vacuum Tubes It is recommended that... 
ARC amp differences.
@mbarmash Is it possible that your C22 is just ready for new tubes?  They can degrade so slowly over time you don't notice it.  
Magnepans and dogs
@roxy54  My point is that no dog is ever a replacement for a dog that you have loved and lost, but as long as you live, there is another dog out there somewhere that needs your love as much as you need theirs. Take the plunge when you feel up to... 
XLR cables for a reasonable price?
I don't use XLR cables so take this as you may.  But I have read several times where Atmasphere states that the quality of XLR cables is not of paramount importance where both of the components being connected have true internally balanced designs.  
ARC amp differences.

Advice on using a dac with my avr
Oh my gosh, can you imagine someone discussing an audio/video receiver in the home theater section of this website?  
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@mulveling These threads are really just lightning rods to bring out the "I don’t like Audio Research" guys 😅 Possibly, but at least some of us are business people with a lifetime of experience analyzing business financial situations includin... 
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@hsounds  let me know when I can stop by and grab your Ref 6,3,or 2,SE on the cheap If you are really in the market, have you looked on Audiogon or USAudiomart recently?  There is plenty to chose from at attractive prices.        
Audio Research Financial Troubles
@ghdprentice Audio Research’s problems are long over. Nothing to do with the viability of the business, but of a highly leveraged buy out by a great guy with the best intentions and a change in the interest rates. Respectfully submitted, whil... 
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...
