Where next from gamut d200i?
It's my opinion that a top flight preamp could improve the sound of your already excellent system.  I see that you are using CDs as your source, so have you considered a streaming device.  You could go with either a stand alone unit or one built i... 
Can Anybody Give An Example Of?
Manfred Mann did a cover version.  IMO a fine version, but the problem with Manfred and Bruce is that Bruce says deuce and Manfred says douche.  But that's another song. DeKay, I wasn't thinking of that, but it makes sense.  They would definite t... 
Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption
For some people it always ends up with god, not just any god, but their GOD.  God seems to be an answer, but maybe it's just an endless series of questions... I think therefore I think I think.  
Recommendations Wanted
Some recorded music, when properly reproduced, will make the loudspeakers disappear and generate a convincing facsimile of the original recording space, but other records cannot.  It has to do with how the music was recorded and your system will n... 
"Transferred from original analogue master tapes"
Daptone Records built their own all analog studio to get a specific sound for their artists.  They didn't even use digital reverbs and instead went with spring and plate units.  Here's a short video about the studio by one of the label's founders ...

There's a theory that Prof. Moriarty wasn't real, but a product of Holmes' cocaine addled mind.  A highly intelligent individual with an inquiring mind connected the dots of seemingly random events and concluded that it was all part of a masterful... 
Why not use a piece of silver wire instead of a jumper cable?
As an audiophile why would you want to make something simple and cheap when you can make it complicated and expensive?  
Guess How Big My Speakers Are

The Bose Wave measures better than I would have thought.  
What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?
Totally unrelated but, "you flock of seagulls" is my favorite "Pulp Fiction" line.  
Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?
Charles1dad, thanks for the thoughtful reply.  If I read into what you  said a little, it seems to be the intent of the person that determines the validity of focusing on another person's money.  If so, I could not agree more.  However, I think re... 
Why Are People So Concerned About How Others Spend Their Money?
But isn't the majority of this forum about exchanging advice on how to wisely spend time and money to achieve better music reproduction quality?  For example, should I buy the Wilsons or the Magicos?  When someone asks what amp should they buy one... 
The Boss is the Bo$$
Sounds like a very good deal for Springsteen.  Artistically, it could be a great move if it spurs him to move on from his old catalog and start creating something new.  Does he really want to sing "Rosalita" or "Born To Run" one more time?  He's o...
