What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Alice In Chains Unplugged as I am sitting in my basement away from the fam on 3rd day Covid Isolation.🙄. Gonna be a real boring New Years Eve. Lame.   
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck
 Cerwin Vegas do play that kind of music very well but again at loud volumes those cabinets start making the music sound hollow because of the cabinets. My Tekton DIs were the same. Sounded amazing on that kind of music but when you really light t... 
Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck
I’m surprised those B&Ws can’t play loud enough for you in that room. The B&W does have one of the biggest criterias you need for loud volumes and tight slamming bass which is a very inert cabinet. You need a very inert cabinet if you want... 
Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
@metaphacts  Lol, since you only have 3 posts you may not know that anything tubebuffer says is a joke. Like literally this is an old probably white dudes alter ego at an attempt at humor.       
CD Transport or media server/streamer
I have been using a node 2 and mostly playing files off a ss hard drive through the node. Sounded better to me than streaming those same songs. This is either going into a Burson dac or a Micromega M100 so not using the not so good dac in the node... 
CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations?
I would vote for transport and dac. Leaves you with better options to upgrade and change the flavor or your setup via dac. A few days ago I hooked up my old Nad 541i to my dac and started spinning cds. Wow. Better than streaming via the Node and b... 
Sound coming from JL Audio F 113
Sounds like some caps going bad. There is a switch on the back to lift the ground as well. I would flip the position of that if you haven’t already and see what that does. Mine has been out of commission for several years. I finally pulled the pla... 
DAC? how much more $$$ to get a significant improvement over Bluesound Node?
Probably any outboard dac that’s a known company would best the node. 100 bucks and up, pick your poison   
your opinion? Sonus faber Serafino Tradition vs the Focal Sopra 3
You didn’t state your musical tastes. I think that will play a big part in which ones you would prefer.   
your opinion? Sonus faber Serafino Tradition vs the Focal Sopra 3
Focal all day.   
Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget
You could get a used Parasound A21 with a new Schiit  Freya plus. That would kick the pants off the majority of integrated amps at 3k.   
Should this be considered if we already have a high quality DAC?
So you are looking at a 2.5k Ethernet gizmo to make the node dac sound better? Not money well spent, buy any $400 well measuring dac.   
HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES
Ideally they would be the same wire as the speaker wire. I sometime do on on the top and one on the bottom honestly not a big difference.   
Has anyone heard the new Eric Alexander signature speakers the matrix LS?
There are a lot of high quality drivers here. I would be curious for 18k (disregarding looks) you get a much better damped cabinet. One thing with my DIs is the cabinets would talk at loud volumes on bass heavy music. At 18k that would be unaccept... 
Sound System on $10K Budget
May want to look at one of the Lyngdorf integrated amps. If you could find a used TDIA 3400 for around 5k and spend another 4.5k on large speakers. $500 bucks on cables or less. The Room correction is really really good and in a big room with no t...
