Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?
I prefer AES to USB , even with my Innuos Phoenix in the system (Bryston BDP 3, Holo Audio May). AES link sounds more real in my system.  
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Do it for re-sale value. MID is perceived to be better than MIC…..otherwise your dealer would be demoing the MIC speakers in their showroom.  
Full range speaker recommendation
JM Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee floor standers…..beautiful midrange and full bass.  
Digital Audio Output Differences? Is USB Audio Really The Top-notch?
AES sounds more real and incisive than USB to me; and I’m using high end USB cables and Innuos Phoenix re-clocker between a Bryston BDP 3 player and Holo Audio KTE May DAC.

Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!
I agree with Audioguy that switching from a felt mat to leather makes a big difference to the amount of static that the record accumulates.  
Preamp recommendation
W4S STP SE good choice should operate in passive mode for most  listening with your existing amp. 
Streamer's without built in DAC options?

Harbeth vs Graham audio
+1 well worth a listen. I have Magnepan 0.7s and have listened to a friend’s Chartwells, Neats, Harbeths, Graham ls5/9 and others; and preferred the Grahams. Before settling on Grahams, I’d like to listen to newer JM Reynaud speakers. 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
Could anyone please comment on the Graham LS5/9s? Very transparent and realistic to my ears (based on limited listen)

So, if you have a TV mounted on an audio rack positioned between and a couple of feet behind the speakers, would you cover the TV with absorbing or diffusing material when listening to audio system? I’m currently using a sound absorbing panel in f...
