Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget
I have owned the Salk Song3 Beats for almost 2 years and really like them.  The finish is so nice, I have distressed mahogany veneer.   I have 200 watts so not sure how 40 will do.   I started out with a Krell FPB 200 amp and Krell KRC2 preamp, af...

Chord Qutest with the Lumin U1 Mini VS Lumin T2
I can’t respond to your questions regarding the Qutest DAC but I recently upgraded from a NAD C658 to a Lumin T2.  This was a huge improvement in sound quality in my system.    I’m very happy with the T2 and the gentleman I purchased it from said ...

NAD C658
I have owned one for about a year and have been pleased.   As said took a while to burn in.    The BusOS is great.   I only use it for a streamer. 
Forever speakers around $5000
I bought Salk Song3 BeAT speakers this year and love them, paired with Krell amp and preamp I no longer search for upgrades.   My previous speakers were Maggie’s, Kef and B&Ws.     
Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?
I had very good luck from a seller with great reviews.

Salk Song 3A or Song 3 BeAT?
I have a pair of the BeATs and really like them.   I started out with Song3 and upgraded.  I was fortunate that Jim was building a pair of BeATs for himself and decided to go to the ss9.5.   By taking Jim’s speakers saved me 2 months of waiting. 
Audio Doctor goes to Axpona observations so far
I have never been to one of these shows, are they regular hotel rooms, suites or meting rooms?   Seems like a bid investment in time to not have optimal setups.   But like I said I have never been. 
Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more
My results with the NAD C658 have been simular to AudioTroy’s.  I have the NAD connected to a Krell KAV 150A amp via Audioquest Mackenzie XLR cables.   From my amp to my KEF LS50’s I have Douglas connections 11 AWG speaker cables.   I have 2 other...
