Does the Transport make a significant difference
Jfrech,Thanks for the response. I have great respect for your knowledge; therefore I have another question for you...is it wiser to invest in a better preamp or transport? I prefer something that has an option to use balanced cables. I only want t... 
What would you do?
I ordered a PS Audio PerfectWave DAC II.Denydog,Regarding cables and everything that I purchase, I set a price range that I makes me feel comfortable. Believe it or not, with the exception of my speaker cables, every cable that I have falls within...

Improved resolution is more important to me.

Timrhu,My system pictures haven't been updated. I actually have bass traps in the corners. 
My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA
I own a Parasound A21 and I submit it's very good, not great. It does very little wrong and is on the dark side of neutral to "my ears." There are better/different amps that many may prefer over the Parasound A21. I purchased the A21 because it wa...

Zd542,I'm not here to argue with you, I stated "MY OPINION" based on my experiences. It's seems more and more people like to argue on Audiogon...been there done it and won't anymore. Audio is subjective and there are no absolutes!

Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
I received the Peachtree Grand and preferred the 220se. To my ears the 220se is more musical. I decided to sell my 220se, return the Grand and purchase a Parasound A21, P5, and Wireworld Silver Eclipse 7 inter-connect cable. I should have everythi... 
Peachtree Audio
I respect what you're saying; however this was a refurbished Grand. My experience is that amps generally don't have night and day changes. In addition,how could I let a defective ampbreak in?

Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2
Just as I was going to pull the trigger on a Parasound A21, I received an incredible deal on a new Peachtree Grand integrated X-1. The deal is so good, it's worth taking a chance...I will provide addition comments after receipt of the Grand Integr...
