SET Shootout China VS The USA
I don't know anyone who thinks Jadis is the worlds greatest amplifier though I'm sure there are some. One thing I've learned in audio is there's always something better sounding you just haven't heard it yet. It leaves you with a certain amount of...

SET Shootout China VS The USA
@mozartfan Hey it's great you like your system so much at the end of the day that's really all that matters. Don't think folks here are arguing or disagreeing merely sharing our experiences with many different amps. My previous amp was a pushpull ...

Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s

Clearaudio Concept TT subpar sound quality
Converting your analog system to digital would seem to be the issue to me.  
Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up...
I like looking at my speakers mostly the rest of my gear sounds a lot better than it looks luckily it sounds great.
