What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Denafrips Pontus II + ultra rendu.  Love it.  Detailed, yet warm.   Very close to vinyl sound. Marked improvement over previous Bluesound Node + Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M  
Its not vinyl

Help fine-tune my speaker search

Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos
Thank you for pointing me to these two reviews nc03854.  I have been loving my rogue stereo 100 with my KEFLS50metas, and now, and of course, am considering my next set of speakers to pair them with. 🤔    
Suggestion between benchmark Ahb2, Bob carver crimson 275 and rogue atlas magnum 2 amos
As a follow up, I ended up getting the Rogue Stereo 100.  It arrived today.  I set it up.  Listened to Charles Mingus -black saint and the sinner lady, the new glass animals, john Coltrane a love supreme live in seattle, and tool fear innoculum. E...
