Attractive Bookshelf - Under $3k
All the speakers in your list seem impressive.  If I were you, I will start by reviewing all the reliable reviews given by the reviewers you thrust and come up with a short list of three by elimination.  For example, Fyne Audio F500SP review by Wh... 
ATC SCM 7 V.3 and
Tarun's review is always spot on that you might take a look.  I never own either of this but I adore ATC SCM 11 so much and have an eye on those.  I will be concerned with the 7's insensitivity (82 measured which is 2dB lower than the specifie... 
Audiophiles on Audiogon.
@aewarren  Show me a device that measures sound quality and I will certainly get one. Until that time I will use my ears. Yes, none of the device in the market is available to provide a comprehensive assessment for SQ.  This is a far-cry goal ... 
Audiophiles on Audiogon.
Honestly, I can see why people post challenges to Audiogoners.  First, non-technical, many posts are about promoting products without providing technical specs and measurements.  If a cable is capable of making significant sonic improvements, it g...

Upgrade path question with $2k to spend
  @jerryg123 I echo on the used hi-end amp like Hegel around $2k. The Hegel h160 you were referring to though has one catch. The midrange could sound lean particularly at low volume according to Tarun @ A British Audiophile. The newer Hegel h190... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@rlawry  Which $360 DAC is?  Thx.  
What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using?
Pioneer Elite DV-59AVi  
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
Whatever suits you.  Whatever makes you happy.  Whatever makes you feel you are improving your system.  Whatever you do we all cheer for you.   If you wish to retire your Pass power amp (if you had it) at 1/3 price, I will take it.  Let me know p...

Proof?  If this magic cable works as claimed, it got be measurable.  
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
I wish that site would change it's name to something other than "science" because it isn't science, it is, at best, quality assurance. I am not sure who makes that suggestion.  ASR is a forum that emphasizes the measurements much more so than a... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@alphonsodamato Yes, it is now a proven scientific fact, all DACs are exactly the same. Before making such a strong statement, you have better listen to "all" DACs and present all "scientific facts" to prove "all DACs are exactly the same." Don... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
Can the width, depth and height of soundstage be measured accurately in spite we know the SS is created/affected by the delay of sound arriving at ears? How can one measure imaging, separation of intruments, the quality of bass such as speed and ... 
The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same?
@asctim I’m hard pressed to believe that differences in the sound reaching my ear that I can detect are not measurable with a good calibrated microphone and some software. I really wish all SQ elements are measurable such that, like I mentioned...
