15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume
Just buy the Borresen X-3's for 11K and be done with it.....You're Not going to beat these with anything under $22K...read the reviews....audition them...  
Are You a Swifty?
Well,  I'm NOT a Trumpy ...so,  I guess I'm a Swifty then !  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Eric Alexander has always been helpful and takes the time to have a conversation with his customers....I don't think he has no more of a big ego than hundreds of other owners of companies that I meet at shows.....I think their speakers are a genui... 
Cd player
Get the CEC TL-5...belt drive transport....with your MAC DAC it's perfect....  
Better cd SQ
Amour-all your cd's for a 20% improvement in dynamics....don't laugh.  Try it, you'll like it !  
Preamp - what's the purpose?
The BEST sound comes from a TUBE PRE and a SS amp....PERIOD !  
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I have the Loki...Love it....But I'm ordering the new McIntosh MQ 112...For 3K it's a winner.  
Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers
I own the Peachtree Gan 400 amp.....Match it with a nice tube preamp and you have a beautiful , musical sound. Nice.  OR go with the Pascal Module that Aavik , Axess and Gato have for a step up in SQ.  
Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers
$5500....new budget Borresen model.  
Which turntable? Pro-Ject or VPI?
VPI of the 2....but prefer Michell turntables.  
The $10,000 Question
Borresen X-3's !!!!!!!  
Songs you use when auditioning gear
The self titled album of KARLA BONOFF.....Great music...great recording...great emotion....and I'll bet nobody here knows who she is !  
Magico A5 vs SF Amati vs Raidho D3 - Help me decide!
I love the "live" sound of the Borresen / Raidho's....Michael Borresen takes a different direction when it comes to speaker design...SF and Magico are more "old school "....IMHO......
