PMC Speakers
@rosami ,If you are using and like the Naim, I really suggest that you seek out and listen to some ProAcs. That is the combination lot of people like. I know, I have a bias for ProAcs :-)

@rosami ,If it is possible, try to go a city like Chicago, New York, San Francisco etc and spend an entire day to audition your selected loudspeaker.The reason is, sometimes we have a preconceived notion based on user feedback, but when you YOURSE... 
Anyone heard the difference between Cullen Crossover and his new Crossover II?
I recently purchased a 6' Cullen Crossover II for my preamplifier. Did not compare it directly with the original one. But I like the change it made compared to the stock cord that came with the preamp. The cable is substantially heavier than what ... 
OPPO 205 set up questions
@mraruba91,Can iPad/iphone do Chromecast? If yes, then get a Chromecast audio, hook a optical "out" from Chromecast to optical "in" of Oppo and cast your music.

There are a few here who own and love their PMCs. Did you try to look up the "system" page and reach out to the owners? You question is too open. What kind of feedback are you expecting? Compared to what brands? Etc. 
12AU7 Genalex or Psvane for Cayin Hybrid Integrated H80A
@ericjcabrera,I receive the Genalex Gold Lions and installed them in my preamp. Even though they are new, they sound more "lively" with a much better presence than the Mullards that came with my preamps. Not that the Mullards sounded hollow, but t... 
Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7
@mushka,The D7 would be better suited to your room. You will be thoroughly disappointed with the D9 in a 13X11 room. If you can "pull" the D7s in the room, say about 36" from back wall and 18"-24" from side walls, you should have amazing music.Lik... 
Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7
@three_easy_payments,The D9s should suit the 20X15X9.5 room. But lets hope you do not put them in any room smaller than 15X16. That would be the minimum. A poster I know here had the D9s in 13X10 room and was thoroughly disappointed and sold them.... 
Where do cables upgrades have the most impact?
@djones51, that was hilarious  :-) 
Looking for a preamp used under 5k
If brand new is fine with you, then I would highly recommend the Bakert Labs Rhumba 1.3. I recently acquired this and am very pleased with the performance and the quality.  
12AU7 Genalex or Psvane for Cayin Hybrid Integrated H80A
Yes @ericjcabrera. I am fine with the Mullards that came with the preamp. But want to try the Genalex for a "new flavor". Since I decided to get tubes, I am thinking why not tube roll and experience the "fun" that people talk about. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
@chadsort,Please don't post such things on this forum.Just kidding. Enjoy your music, whichever way you prefer! 
12AU7 Genalex or Psvane for Cayin Hybrid Integrated H80A
OP,Like you I am brand new to tubes. So much new that I just ordered a pair of Genalex 12AU7 and I don't even have the tracking number from Music Direct :-) 
Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7
I have not listened to the A7. But I checked the Spendor site and the A7 and D7 are completely different configurations. If anything, the D7 are higher configuration models and if you have the budget and space, I would highly recommend the D7, bas... 
99$ Digital cable is damn good
Good to know. How are you using this cable? Between a transport and a DAC?I recently got a Cardas Parsec to connect from an older Oppo transport that sends HDCD to the DAC in my Oppo UDP-205 and it does make a (good) difference that I can note.
