Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)?
@erictal4075  I am using Aurender ACS100 to rip my CD’s. You can read up about this player here, https://aurender.com/acs100/  
432 EVO
“Naah… Lalin is fine” @thyname You should ask him to send you a 432 EVO for audition. Your feedback would carry a lot of weight versus a dealer’s tireless shilling!  
Best Server To Run Roon Core
“handful of companies have proven to work quickest and most effectively with the Roon team to minimize issues.”   This should be a prime consideration of picking Roon compatible hardware. My Merging +player has worked flawlessly from day one and ... 
Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)?
“Transports and servers are crucial partners and their level of quality matters.” @charles1dad I am in complete agreement. I love to own a player like Ethos or La Diva but instead I’ve taken a slightly different approach to digital playback. In... 
FEDEX keeps destroying my New CARY 805RS Monoblocks - What can I do to prevent Nightmare?
Heavy and sensitive electronics, strapped to a pallet is the only way to go!   
432 EVO
“I have yet to meet someone who has one.” @thyname, Sometimes the folks promoting the product can be a detriment, it sure seems the case for 432 EVO :-)                                                              ... 
Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)?
I don’t know why Gryphon Ethos is part of this discussion. As a one box solution, Gryphon Ethos with a built in DAC is a ultimate choice for anyone with means. On a scale of 10, it’s a 11 once you consider its aesthetics and performance. I’m not t... 
Gryphon Mephisto
“A small amount of evaluating can go a long way!” @jakesnak  Agreed!   
Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3
+1, @thyname @jeffreyw T+A Integrated’s are pretty awesome, ultra detailed and plenty of grunt in lower octaves. I used to own B&W 800D2’s and you can’t fully appreciate B&W’s (especially the 800 or 802’s) until you feed them with an a... 
Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3
I recommend Gryphon Diablo, neither of the Luxman you’re considering have the ‘grunt’ to drive power hungry speakers like 802D3. Gryphon’s are more transparent and has that ‘silky’ smooth presentation.   
Gryphon Mephisto
@soliles Very interesting system, I bet you don’t have to ever worry about Mephisto running out of steam with Westminster’s. When I approached my dealer, he recommended Antileon EVO for my Canterbury’s. In his experience, Antileon would be a bet... 
Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
@hilde45, I would add Tannoy’s to your list as well. Either the Turnberry or Stirling’s would be a great match for your Quicksilver mono’s. If you ever in Houston, come over for some Tannoy’s magic and Tex-Mex treats :-) Coherency is the best wa... 
RCA to XLR adaptor causing amp to shut down
Another vote for Cardas XLR-RCA adapters, they worked flawlessly for me.   
Black Blackground for Monoblocks
For your monoblocks, I recommend plugging them directly into CPT’s Deep Core 1800. https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/deepcore-1800  
Mcintosh amplifiers and preamps
Good quality tube components but SS gear lacks soul!
