Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2
jafant,No speaker is great to everyone and the associated equipment/room has a significant impact on what you are hearing. I heard the Magico 3s, Joseph Audio Pearls, and Focal Sopra 2s at RMAF this past October. I understand it was under show con... 
Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2
Decided to stay with my speakers and purchased an Aurender N10 to replace my Bryston BDP2. I'm done! 
Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2
Are there any former Aerial 7T owners on here? What speakers did you go to? 
Aerial 7T to Dynaudio C2
Brownsfan,Thanks for your input. I attended RMAF in October and I believe I listened to Dali's. This hobby is very subjective and I came away from RMAF with more respect for my Aerial 7ts. I've recently changed my amp/preamp, DAC and now it's time... 
DAC vs. Preamp
jon2020,I can't speak on the difference between going direct from the Aeris dac to power amps vs through the Corus preamp. The only dacs I experimented with going direct were the PS Audio DSD and Bricasti M1. I already had the JR Continuum S2 inte... 
DAC vs. Preamp
I've tried DAC only twice; first time with a PS Audio DSD, second time with the Bricasti M1...my ears prefer the sound with a preamp in the system. I currently have a Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC and Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. It's sounds much better th... 
UPGRADE TIME!! Preamp vs. Speakers???
My experiences suggest changing the weakest link will make the biggest difference in sound. I recently changed from an integrated amp to separates...this was the biggest difference in sound that I've ever heard. Just my opinion. 
So many variables with audio
You get a million different answers, because of the many different experiences. I recently changed from an integrated amp to separates. My speakers sound significantly different now. So, if someone listened to my speakers with the integrated they ...

Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
I've owned Densen B-350 Class A mono-amps, Classe Audio (Class AB), Parasound A21(Class AB), Peachtree Audio(Class D), Jeff Rowland M525(Class D) and have tried the Bryston 4bsst2 (Class AB). I currently own the Jeff Rowland Class D Continuum S2 a... 
B&W 'New' 800 Series
I've read many of Bo1972s post and have concluded that he repeats the same thing over and over and at the same time finds ways to contradict himself. He talks about how great his components are, but concedes that he uses room correction to get the... 
Review: Merrill Audio Taranis Amplifier
Thanks for the information. I actually love my CS2, but I'm being a stupid audiophile. I thought about going to the 625 S2, but I won't do the change until I can compare the two. One dealer said there is a big difference between the two and anothe...

In particular I'm talking about the VERITAS Monoblock Power Amplifiers. 
Review: Merrill Audio Taranis Amplifier
How does Merrill compare to Jeff Rowland? I'm still trying to decide if I should go from my Continuum S2 Integrated to the JR 625 S2. The decision would be easier if I could hear the JR 625 S2. Maybe Merrill is a least expensive upgrade from the J...
