| Yamaha CR-1040 Receiver, new to me, Terrific! Owner's Manual? Coincidentally I had a Tandberg tr2080 for many years. Loved that sucker! Sold it to a collector in Norway when it started to get a bit long in the tooth. Replaced it with a similar vintage Yamaha. Nice! | |
| Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4 Both good speakers I would consider. Klipsch for more punch rather than less efficient open baffle. | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Nice midrange, vintage looks, and not a tower. | |
| Long live Rock? 2022 R&R HOF Rock is dead. Soon Nickelback would have to be in. Not that there is anything wrong with that. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Nothing like a good test tone or two to shed some light on things. | |
| CD transport vs.streaming I would go out on a limb and assert, DACs aside, there is huge variation in performance with various CD players whereas it can be hard to discern any clear differences between most any streamer. Even a <$100 Roku stick does a pretty good job wi... | |

| CD transport vs.streaming If its the same source material and resolution and things are done right it doesn’t matter. Streaming has all the +’s though on overall utility so work on that if needed. The right DAC is a must. Most any good quality streamer will do. THat’s to d... | |
| About users with hidden agendas I checked. On my iPhone I can get a list of threads I started and select a pop up on each with a delete option. So it is possible for one to delete their threads. Live and learn. | |
| About users with hidden agendas It’s a free country. People should really stop telling everyone else what they should say or think or do. Let the cards fall where they may. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Lol no doubt @mahgister got someone's attention. | |
| About users with hidden agendas Someone had my earlier post asserting the vaccine saves lives in response to a prior disparaging post removed. I don’t really care as long as the original disparaging remark that might cost more lives if taken to heart, not save them, was removed ... | |
| Why People Like Tekton I am a coherent sound fan. Ohm Walsh CLS and KEF UniQ do it for me. Many drivers spread around work against that especially in rooms the size of most at home. |
