I read reviews, watch videos and read forums like this, which helps to get an idea of the list of equipment to try to hear. Ultimately, nothing replaces hearing the component, preferably in your ow... | |

| If you haven't yet discovered Rosie Flores..... Rosie is superb and she’s been great for a long time. Simple case of the blues is a wonderful album | |
| Streamer recommendations I own a DCS Bartok apex and have been very satisfied with the purchase. In my system to my ears, it is rock solid reliable and delivers a sound that is detailed and musical- the opposite of clinical. I’ve owned mine for a few years and there have... | |

| Experience with Simaudio Moon North amps I will and I hope to hear the 861. I had a simaudio 390 in my system for a long time and currently use a simaudio phono stage. Simaudio builds good, high quality stuff. I’m a fan | |

| Holy Holostages!! That product is probably unavailable at Upscale Audio | |

I have a pretty good digital system, probably better than my vinyl system, but I just like the vinyl sound better. Maybe that’s just my ears or maybe that’s what I grew up with I stream more th... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Anthem STR great performance and solid build for the money | |
| Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp I recently added an Octave Jubilee preamp to my system and its the best preamp I've ever heard, a superb product in my opinion. Adding a tube amp would be too much for me-the tube amps I've heard-a few- are fine well built components, but don't re... | |
| ??? How Much Would You Spend ??? in your scenario you have established the price of the speakers. My personal preference would then be to spend roughly 7-10 thousand on the amp, dac and preamp and I would prioritize the preamp if I had to make choices I would also allocate som... |
