Looking for a change.
+1 Hegel. Trade YH in for a used H160 150 wpc or Parasound Hint 6 160 wpc.  
Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation
Although active 2-channel speaker option is supposed to be preferrable to the soundbar, the OP granting his best half's wishes is far more correct decision.  Happy wife, happy life.  Good luck.  
Can a DAC sort out a flat\cold amp?
You might want to consider trading YH 1200 for a used Hegel H90 with some money left back to your pocket. This integrated amp is equipped with more than adequate DAC/Stream which allows you to play music directly from Hegel. It is a very wonderful... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
i kinda hesitate to recommend my beloved Linton because they exceed your price range and a used pair is hard to find.  But since the Audiogoners keep mentioning them, let me render my recommendation to you here with a reservation.  That is your Ad... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
@holmz Freedom of choice is what you’ve got here, but I am not sure if freedom from choice is what you want. Do your due diligence first and get the list down to three before home trials. Otherwise I could go with the flow here and throw in the re... 
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
List is really too long.  New or used.  Bookshelf or floor stander.  Need to do your own homework.  Read reliable reviews such as Stereophile or on-line.  You will get much better information that is from true experts instead of ad-hoc opinions he... 
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
@tobes The OP has a top class system, I doubt he wants to go from a DAC with ~22 bit resolution to one with ~10 bit resolution. Most of high end or even lower end DAC could process 24-32 bit rate up to 768 khz signal depending upon the input, A... 
Best audiophile earwax removal system?
After you have the ears cleaned, how much percentage of improvement in imaging you have perceived before and after the installation of $10k cable I wonder?  Please do the blind test.  
Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1
  @larsman The Op just decided to sell his Fritz 6 months after this written review. How about you? Did you keep the Fritz or the Harbeth?  I will not be surprized if you choose to let Fritz go IF you adore/crave for the midrange more than every... 
Large room with low budget for speakers
To some, 30k is low budget for a pair of loudspeakers.  To me, 30k is 5 times of my total spending on two 2-channel systems.  
Why Do You Post?
Dealer, dealer, dealer.  Some of them tell you they are dealers.  Some of them pretend they are not.  They come in a group, supporting each other, trash talk/diss other objective opinions for a single purpose, i.e., promoting their products.  In o... 
My endgame system I think
The Rockport/Boulder were both highly praised by Stereophile but JA did point out the minor flaw below. I also noticed that, when listening to Pink Floyd Money (demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj1Zced6dEU&t=181s), bass notes introduced fr... 
My endgame system I think
A very de minimis high performer system you have put together.  You must go through tremendous time and effort to sort out and eventually end up with this particular combination in this price range you consider as the "endgame".  It will be more i... 
Heard the Margo Timmons solo release?
Margo Timmins.  Great songs/recording.  Thx.  
everything sounded great until the upgrade
Op, a decent DAC does not cost fortunate.  Quarter of the money you spent on the used MF could get you a pretty decent DAC that preserves soundstage width / depth, tonal balance, weighted bass well like Schiit Modius.  You could sell it on  eBay i...
