For a second system I have been thinking of the Marantz Arch.
For something as obscure as the Arch, a link would have helped. It would right up there with using google. I thought is was something done on a balance beam. 👻All the best,Nonoise 
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio
The science was never settled years ago. The limits of our measuring was settled years ago. All some need is a visual representation of an approximation that we can all agree on as a standard to make them happy. Those standards are just guideposts... 
Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio
Hmm, I just noticed that my post was removed from the 1st page. It agreed with what @douglas_schroeder said with nary a bit of snark, malice or sarcasm, one sentence in length, and polite to boot. Maybe I should revert to my lessor angels. All the... 
Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD
If I may paraphrase an old saying on Chinese food: The good thing about Chinese speakers is, after you listen to them, you have to go back and listen some more.

There must be a stable somewhere where they stock all the dead horses. 
Focal headphones. How good?
@inna - I heard the Focals at the last audio show in LA and they were top of the line along with two other makes, playing through Headamp amps and a Holo DAC. The other two cans were from Audeze and HiFiMan. To my old ears, the HiFiMan cans were t...

@dlcockrum , I was kind of riffing off what @teo_audio was saying. I think that once societal standards are lowered, boundaries that used to be respected, aren't. I remember when if anyone volunteered that they had something to sell on a thread, a...

The fish rots from the head down. The bar has lowered, if not eliminated.  All of this is like a slow motion version of the demise of the Krell in the movie, Forbidden Planet.For those who haven't seen the movie, the premise goes something like th... 
Speakers are the first piece of the puzzle
Everything prior to speakers have been R&D'd to the point where they can all sound good which makes it more of a matter of taste. Speakers, being the largest generators of distortion, require you to like their sound signature, or house sound, ... 
PADIS vs Furutech fuses
Is that the sound of one hand clapping? 
PADIS vs Furutech fuses
@auxinput, I had to reread what I wrote several times before I realized what I did and then when I typed this, I did it again! I have to pull my mind out of the gutter now and again for perspective. @almarg , I had no idea that something that look... 
PADIS vs Furutech fuses
@crazyeddy, there is a review of the SR Black fuses over at Audio Bacon and in it they show how to make a fuse break in device that should take the pain out of it. I've only tried two different fuses (HiFi Tuning Silver Stars & PADIS) so my ex...
