Looking for a CD Player
@smerk We subscribe to Tidal as well as Qobuz (Qobuz was cheaper 3 years ago than it is now), at a cost of about 10 bucks a month each. We also rip our old CDs as well. We made sure we purchased very high quality streaming components and cabling... 
Looking for a CD Player

My ever faithful Revel Salon 2 speakers have been around for over a decade and a half, but I have no plans to replace them.  Why?  Because still I love the way they sound, even compared to todays more contemporary speaker offering.   The age of my... 
Amp for Sopra No. 1
The extremely powerful, dynamic, and incredible sounding Hegel H590/600 is all you'll ever need to beautifully drive the speakers.  A Hegel H590/ H600 sounds utterly amazing with rock, classical, jazz, voices, or any genre of music.  I drive my Re...
