| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @mattnshilpIt’s a bit quite around here. I wonder what the Doc’s got up his sleeve for us? | |
| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Miles Davis - Kind of Blue / All BluesThis track, on a system that can resolve it, will wow you with not only great music, but a very wide/deep soundstage with exacting instrument placement that'll blow your mind! | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers Along with the TAD CR-1, you should consider the ME-1. With a discount that'll put them well under your budget. I've heard both and like both very much. Be aware the CR-1 is $22k, so you'd have to buy them used to get into your budget. | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! @almarg If you read Al's post at 05-02-2018 5:39pm, you'll see what I so crudely was trying to point out. Specs indeed are useful, but let your ears do the final check if you have this option in your area. Al, thanks as always for your cogent an... | |

| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? @michaeljbrown I am of the speaker-first persuasion. But really for me, the most important thing is speaker/amp interaction. I'm going through it right now with the TAD E-1s. They sound utterly amazing with some amplification but just OK with othe... | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! @azjake How about making it much simpler? A pair of Sonos Play 1s and a tablet. Then when/if she gets really psyched, you could move her up to a system that would take her on a new journey of discovery? And if this happens, the Sonos can be moved ... | |
| What ARC electronics would you choose to mate with Wilson Sabrinas? I have heard the Sabrina's many times and they are one of my favorite three speakers.I've heard them mostly with ARC. First was with the Gsi75 and it was very very good, then with the LS28 VT80 combo and again it was very very good. with the secon... | |

| Luxman L-509X Clarification - The Luxman 590 AXII is 30 WPC Class A @ 8 ohms, not 60 like I said above though it is 60 WPC @ 4 ohms. |
