Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3
Gerry, Im talking about BRAND NEW...not used prices. Dealer COST on the combo is 21K. Half of my collection is Tube Amps...7 of them. Variety is the Spice of life. 
Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3
Lalitk,Not sure what dealers you are using but your claim that an Accuphase E800 costs more than the Luxman 900 Combo is ridiculous.  I purchased my E800 for $12,500. In Canada I could have gotten it for $1000 less.Please let me know where I can g... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Money has nothing to do with it...in my case anyway.  If I wanted to spend another 20K-30K on a TOTL streamer its no big deal. I rather handpick the best possible recordings available WITHOUT resorting to Vinyl or Reel to Reel which are the best m... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
Ricevs,Have you heard the Legacy D line?  Interested in trying one of the 5 Channel ones for all the 5.1 and 1970's Quad titles I have. Probably about the same price as the lower end AGD model...7K-ish

Only way streaming will be better is if the Record Companies find replacements for all the Master Recordings that have either been lost, burned up in the fire already mentioned OR start buying up the digital transfers they started doing back in th... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Thanks for the Link George. That is indeed DISTURBING.  Especially the QOBUZ one. Has almost the worst score possible and losses over 1/3 of the Values of the CD's from 1985/86. Ignore science people at your own peril.

As to the gentlemen that said his streaming service is as good as his buddies K-01XD. Well if they are exactly the same that proves my point. The K-01XD is not the TOTL Esoteric model....its not even the best All in one Box Model. That would be th... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
The following info is over a decade old. Just an example of how many times the record labels have Remastered (Messed with) a particular recording. God only know how many MORE times since then when Streaming became the "norm".  Which version(s) are... 
CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality
Streaming is wonderful for discovering new music much like Youtube.  However as has been stated previously your listening to overly compressed music where much of the detail has been lost. The music supplied by Tidal/Quboz are not original mixes/m... 
Close, but no cigar ...
You can find the Diablo 300 used on occasion for under 10K. They were recently selling Brand new for under 13K when the distributor changed hands.

Had the Mac MC462/C52 Combo a few years ago.  I have 15 amps now...they are all better than that Mac on my 14-15 pairs of speakers. YMMV 
FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's
Lots of bad info here as usual when it comes to shipping companies. FEDEX Home Delivery as well as all other FEDEX drivers are coming from a FRANCHISED Source.  The above poster makes it sound like FEDEX GROUND/HOME DELIVERY, EXPRESS and Priority ...
