| Benchmark DAC3 / AHD2 Combo (with a Goldenear Triton Reference chaser) Aside, re the Triton Refs: They seem to require a large room, if placing them the way Stereophile did for their review. YES?" We began by placing the Triton References where the KEF Reference 5s had worked best, but ended up with the speakers qui... | |
| Benchmark DAC3 / AHD2 Combo (with a Goldenear Triton Reference chaser) I've been thinking about this amp for months and haven't pulled the trigger. With a 30-day in home audition, there is little risk. My hesitation is that I was thinking of keeping my current amp (Odyssey Audio Khartago, with Kismet upgrade) and get... | |

| Looking for a CD player I love my Rega Apollo player, and you can get a new one within your budget. It gets very good reviews. I love the top-loading feature, as there is no motorized tray to go bad.https://www.stereophile.com/content/rega-research-apollo-cd-player Conc... | |

| Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II with Roon Core coming in June! I am still buying CDs for sure! I love to own the source material (I think of CDs as smaller, shinier versions of vinyl ;) )Thanks for the links. | |
| Can anybody be a speaker designer? The truth about hitting yourself on the head with a hammer is that it only feels good when you stop.Same with reading posts by Kenjit. | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? but I just can't build up the requisite amount of indignation LOL. Never argue with idiots ... you have to descend to their level and they will *still* beat you with experience ;) | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Amen. Social media seems to bring out the worst in some people, who become keyboard warriors. I see it everywhere. "If you don't have something good to say..."I love a good debate, and often there is no one right answer. I love learning from other... | |
| what is the advantage of having a Roon core that's not on your computer? I specifically didn’t want to rely on a computer (and have it on all the time) for my Roon Core, and so waited to get a server/streamer that could do it. I considered several, including Wyred4Sound and Innuos (one box solutions), but decided on th... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly I have the SGC sonictransporter and microRendu, and wondered if I should have upgraded to the optical. I'll read up on it... sounds good! | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? newer vandy's clearly have more high end energy... some surmise this is a commercial decision to meet modern demand for more perceived 'resolution' - others feel it is due to richard still voicing the speakers himself, his loss of high freq hearin... | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Thanks tomic601 ! I would love to hear your V7's. | |
| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Tomic knows Vandersteens! tomic601 I had 2CEs for many years (formerly driven by a McCormack DNA-1 deluxe amp and passive linestage) and loved them so much I replaced them with the newest version, the 2CE Sig III. I have heard many great speakers ... | |
