Speaker recommendations welcomed
@hk_fan These are very large enough to be mini floorstanders. Sourcepoint 10 Master Edition In Black or In Walnut and get these low slung stands - https://www.etsy.com/listing/1343688505/custom-speaker-stand-made-upon-order  
Integrated Headphone amp with moving coil phono stage
not balanced but this comes to mind - Mobile Fidelity UltraPhono™ Headphone amplifier and phono preamplifier  
Maybe someone can enlighten me.
@secretguy lol welcome to the club of unexplained comment removal. People have pretty fragile feelings here so report on whim and moderation team doesn't double check but just decides to agree with the person reporting all the time   I've had so... 
Speaker change
This - In Black or In Walnut @jmnextime1   
My last rodeo
@tburdwin Keep the transport, sell the rest. Not needed. and there are better preamplifier implementations in 2025 than the PS Audio Ultra Link II Since you’re keeping the transport, you need a DAC/Preamp with AES/EBU input, coaxial and Toslink i... 
Buchardt Audio Anniversary 10 vs Dutch & Dutch 8c
@spoutmouzert This is the only review to watch. I can give you my thoughts (I feel there are better speakers tbh but I'd leave that to the professional)   And they do not compare to the 8C in any way  
My impressions of the much Hyped LAIV Harmony DAC (I ordered one and Listened to it.)
lol. this was a fun read but I guess that should give you pause to FoMo buy stuff next time  
Thoughts on Thiel SS2 Sub
@chiefsteward1 subwoofers are pretty simple in that they don't have fancy use cases. All they do is give you ample low-end support for your mains and also help reduce IMD and other distortion parameters of your mains if you high pass the mains. B... 
Upgrading from Dual 704 to Technics 1300G – Worth it for Sound Quality?
The SL1300 is the better turntable but the crux of sound quality in vinyl playback is the cartridge compliance quality, frequency response at a given capacitance and VTA. the Audio-Technica 440MLb is good for compliance with the SL1300 tonearm bu... 
Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates?
well the obvious underlying factor here is the different spaces. Your room isn’t the store. Your room dimensions differ from the store. Your furnishing is different. The distance you listen at  in your room is surely different from where you sat i... 
Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates?
@dman777 what do you mean by best sound from your amp? what is your setup lacking audibly to you? What do you want to add or subtract. Bass, midrange, treble, shimmer, sibilance. And note  a preamplifier is the last one to change to fi any of the ... 
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
@roxy54 lol what? I have the 888 and it doesn’t sound dull at all and the imaging is incredibly consistent. I am sure you didn’t even do a simple RTA but yeah Danny said the crossover is cheese so must be true.    Bass is more your room than th... 
Is a Weiss 204 DAC an upgrade, or sideways, from a Halo Audio Spring 2 Level 3?
it is not an upgrade and no, yoru DAC isn't bottlenecking your setup. @whyrichard   
Best amp options for JM Reynaud Bliss Silver
"Hoping for better bass extension and improved soundstage holography" uhm an amp doesn't add more bass extension. do you know your speaker/room RTA? get that checked first before asking an amplifier to add bass to a speaker  
Praise for Dutch & Dutch
@69zoso69 yup. I came from headphones so finding endgame was less of a needless venture as I homed in on what I wanted pretty easily. I have a phenomenal setup that allows just musical enjoyment and bliss which means there's little motivation to ...
