| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust @hodu thank you for the link!That review describes exactly the sound I'm looking for.There are just so many dacs to choose from nowadays and we can't really try them all:)The parasound hasn't garnered much attention but from what I've managed to... | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust I haven't heard the dac yet.The Vincent was tubed so my hope is to put something together that sounds as good or better.Analog like.The simpler the better.We'll see how it goes in a couple of days. | |
| My beloved CDP finally bit the dust Thanks!Both the Marantz and Rega were on my plan B list:) | |
| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. @jayh31 it wouldn't hurt to take a look at the GIK website.The treatments are returnable,consultation is free,the treatments will fit into any decor unobtrusively.They can also be printed with a photo or artwork of your choosing. | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? I wish every recording could provide the illusion that I was at the event.Recordings of small ensembles come very close sometimes.When I'm in the mood for loud rock music and I move into the next room, it actually sounds like the band is in there ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? There are so many great soundtracks it's hard to choose.Woodstock is a favorite that I watch every so often.Phantom of the Opera also. | |

| Grounding my Silvertone I love those old console cabinets too:)Best of luck to you!I've got three old radios that are in working condition.One has a turntable that tips out from the front that doesn't work at the moment.One of these days I'll get to it.My favorite is a T... | |

| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I used to watch an HDTV show where on one episode she designed a room around a bright gold grand piano(family heirloom).Quite challenging,but it looked really nice.On another episode the owner had some large Martin Logans that he was going to leav... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I wonder if anybody has ever hired a decorator to help blend in fabulous sounding butt ugly speakers to a room? | |
| Final piece of the puzzle: digital correction in a suboptimal room Monster traps may be overkill for the side walls.Heavily treating the corners is worth experimenting with.I'm using GIK and four subs to great effect in my smallish room.Two subs wit built in eq might work very well also.Best of luck as you resea... |
