Something For The Fuse Guys ...
*"Reality" is illusory at best. *Tight sphincters are a hazard to one’s health.*And if that isn’t enough for a single post, who can provide a scientific, objectivist, working definition of "critical listening?" 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
I would like to propose an experiment, for all you fuse guys, if I may. It’s a “fuse-less,” yet profound upgrade. The cost is nominal. I firmly believe the benefits to be real, verifiable, and much less expensive than any fuse-du Jour. Full-disclo... 
Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever)
@mtdining  Thank you for mentioning that Luxman.  It may very well wind up on my short audio bucket list!  And, after reading through this thread a second time, I may rethink a few things.  :)  IE: maybe four, large, heavy and hot black boxes full...

@gratefuleric+1While my bi-amped tube separates still sound better, I will say, that given enough break-in time, the Peachtree Nova is a damn good unit. I've got the 150. Clean power, runs nice and cool,  good-looking, small footprint, excellent r... 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
@mayoradamwestI find this thread mildly fascinating.To reiterate what others have asked: what is it you feel you’re missing and what is it that you’re hoping to find? Furthermore, why is $30K, for an amplifier, your "magic number?" Can you articul...

@joecasey PS posed: The eternal question: "When is good enough good enough?"Joe Casey says Never!!!***************************************Ah, Mr. Casey, "Never!!!" you say? - therein lies a path to eternal dissatisfaction. Or worse. 
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
If you fancy OHMs I suggest you take a close look at the cheap drivers and crude fit and finish of those speaker. I found it to be a depressing experience. I very much wanted to be an "OHM believer" so over the past couple of years, I tried three ...

"Love the one you’re with." After my recent, ill-conceived attempt at "downsizing", I realized that not only was it foolish, it was damn unpleasant psychologically and financially. Moral of my story: I’m going back to my multiple black boxes of tu...

@mayoradamwest "Cables are Transparent Reference, specifically chosen to match the Boulder setup. I could get the Boulder pre-amp, but it’s 55k...."I’m a car guy and FWIW, I could get a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, but it’s 192,00k...."The eternal... 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
You'll never come close to hearing the full potential of the 2160 unless you pair it with one of Boulder's best preamps, and then, because your system will be so ruthlessly revealing, you'll likely have significant synergistic issues, particularly... 
Has anyone heard the new peachtree nova 150 ?
The Nova 150 needs at least 250 hours of break-in time before it starts sounding good.  After another 100 hours or so, the magic begins. 
SF Cremona Auditor M vs Harbeth 30.1
@dhcod  and @miner42Thanks so much for your posts. I, too, have the CAM's and while I've been looking at other options for my small, dedicated listening room, all I've found, are speakers which are, at best, (maybe) lateral moves, not to mention t...

@mustbethemusic +1 OP, just call Jeff at the number I posted. He’s super-responsive.Again, I have no affiliation except I have purchased, and love his Commander preamp and Inamorata amplifier. IMHO, the positive reviews do not overstate how good h...
