Help with Cable selection
Agreed with adg101 - try the Clear Day loudspeaker cables first. Then the interconnects. You can also get Nordosts and others in the same price range and then compare them. Keep the one that rocks your boat and return the others. 
Help with Cable selection
I would very highly recommend the Clear Day speaker cables and interconnect. They would be a huge upgrade in your system. And they won't break the bank too. 
Marantz SA11S3
Alright OP. Don't blow a fuse now. On 2/24 you did show some interest in fuses. And on the same day, looks like all your questions were answered. This might very well be a good Marantz SA-11S3 thread for future owners. It has fuses - right? If you... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
If anyone can please clarify:I understand that the Chord FPGA DACS internally convert DSD to PCM for playback. Is that correct or I have not heard the right thing?I am looking for a DAC that would "play DSD natively". My definition of native would...

Adcom GFA 5500 vs. Parasound A21

NEW Discovery: Getting the Oppo DSD Output to a Dac.
Ozzy,I guess you shout check out the new Bryston BDA-3 DAC that can accept DSD over HDMI from your Oppo. Just a thought. 
Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it?
I like the A23, the JC-1, and many of the previous generation Parasound, just not the A21.Now that is the first one I have read comparing A21 to A23. You should immediately let John Curl know about this. Hopefully he will mod the A21 so that it st... 
Proac D-30R
cmach,Congratulations on the D30R. Looks like you have reached your destination for now. How about posting some pics about your system and the speakers? One thing on the spec that I notice is that these speakers reach 20Hz. Is that really true? Do... 
A little help please
akg_ca Most of the JMR speakers are also 4 Ohm impedance but sensitivity is closer to 91 dB. Wouldn't I have the same problem on those as the Totem? This is something that Almarg (and a few others on this forum) have the knowledge to respond. 
Harbeth vs JM Reynaud
ihor,Congratulations on selecting the speakers you can live with. I know how frustrating and time consuming it can be. Are you still using the solid state amp? How low do the Omegas go in your room? What is so different you find about the single d... 
Best SACD/CD player
Zavato,The Esoteric "must" be good. I am thinking this after currently owning the Teac SACD player. The house sound is detailed and slightly less warm compared to the Marantz. I will take Esoteric Marantz SACD players any day. If you do not have p... 
I Dislike new format
Completely true about the updates to virtual system. With people updating their system, it was like following the recent trend or an exiting product. But with that absent, you have to search for components. I am not interested in people's system i...
