| CD player how much to invest For about $12k you can buy a Nagra CDT. The Boulder 1021 is about €24k I have heard them both at a dealer show. Now to be honest I don't think the Boulder is a lot better. Not even sure if it is better at all. So the difference is about $12K. That... | |

| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING Just out of curiousity but why whould anyone put tubes in a CD player? No matter the prices I think tubed CD player are bit of a gimmick. There are many people that like tube amps so I get the feeling that some companies add tubes to a CD player j... | |
| Wadia or Arc CD player? I know I'm not aswering you question. But you should also put the Astin Trew AT3500 plus on your list. You should be able to buy a new one for around $2k I guess and it is very good. I can hold it's own against older more expensive CD players. I h... | |
| Active speakers with 15" woofers, need a list If I were you I would look at pro audio speakers. There are many nice active studio monitors. Like the ADAM S6X with two 12" woofers or the ADAM S7A mk2 with 2 15" woofers. | |
| VPI Scout question Thank you all for the replies. I think I will keep the Scout standard for now. Maybe first invest in a phono pre. Instead of changing the turntable. | |

| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC What about a Naim Supernait? But I'm not sure if the DAC has a USB input. If not I would buy something like a Cambridge DacMagic with a nice 2nd hand integrated amp. Maybe a MF tri vista or something like that. | |

| PrimaLuna dialogue 2 or Caryaudio SLI80 4ML Summit While I haven't heard the summit with either of those amps I have heard it with Jadis tube gear and it sounded great. So I don't think you will needs lots of power. ML summit are really nice speakers I would love to own a pair. | |
| Cables for Sophia 2 and Burmester I have no experience with any of you gear. But I do think there is zero need to have only one brand of cables in a system. It's better IMHO to mix and match. |
