Marantz cd players
I don’t need to see your system in order to give advice. No one really does. I used to own a Marantz Reference SA-15S2 and thought very highly of it until I got a Technics SL-G700 SACD player which kind of ran rings around the Marantz in terms of... 
I have perfected my network for the nth time
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Just because the math and the protocols says it’s being done, doesn’t mean it that a deconstructed musical signal put into packets and sent out over som... 
Toslink
I use a DH Labs Glass Master Toslink between my Technics SL-G700 SACD player and SU-G700M2 integrated as it simply sounds the best. It's the only cable that plays all of my CDs, beautifully. The Lifatec and Unique Products (Amazon) Toslink cables ... 
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
Maybe a class D? How about the Technics SU-G700M2? All the best, Nonoise  
BEST CD TRANSPORT
I came across this new CDT that uses the CD-PRO-8 transport from Audio Phonique, from Poland. pg The sad thing is I don't think most here can afford it but it's nice to see what can be obtained. It's not on their website yet. All the best, N... 
Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube?
There's Takatsuki tubes made in Japan.  All the best, Nonoise    
Midrange Increasingly Harsh
I had the same problem with the same source material and it took replacing my speakers to fix it. Even with trim pots on my speakers, I couldn't correctly tone down the shrillness and etch without adversely effecting the adjoining frequency ranges... 
Ethernet connection for best sound quality
We should be patient and kind to Fredrik. Bollocks. If he talked this way in public, people would be lined up like that scene from Airplane!  All the best, Nonoise

If Socrates were to post here, he'd be poisoned for impiety and corrupting the audio youth by those who know it all. And they'd celebrate it, gladly and loudly.  All the best, Nonoise  
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
Is Vegas taking bets on this?  
How long before they jump on this..?
Very interesting prospects for this new material but as jond pointed out, half the members here will be diametrically opposed to it because of its connections to green energy.  The only other new speaker driver material I know of is basalt (lava ...

@soix  "unfairly diss streaming".....you talk like you're dating and defending her honor. Your chivalry is misplaced.  "not knowing what you're talking about" ....yes, I do, and you're starting to sound a lot like freddy. "unsolicited disinform... 
Ruminations On CD Players
@soix  You are the one that brought up your “perceived” limitations of streaming and brought this off topic, not me. And here's the OP's query: Any recommendations on CD players in this price range?  I only have music CDs so don't need anyth...

@soix Oh brother, are you being anal today. I brought up what I see as limitations of a medium and you take it oh so personally, like I attacked you and you only. Your caveat about "counter to my experience" is running a bit thin and the only vali...
