Do you have to be “in the mood?”
Most nights I sit in front of the rig and read while I listen, and sometimes just listen. There are occasional evenings when I just don't feel like listening, and that's ok. It just makes the next time more special. Being critical of the system's ... 
Anyone have experience with the Ayon Stealth dac?
Audio Note. 
Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
cmach,The apprentice rack works wonders underneath a DAC if you use one. 
MARANTZ MODEL 10 TUBE AMP/ TUNER AND MARANTZ 7 TUBE PREAMP
ebm,I tease you sometimes, but I have to admit, that was funny.John 
Sistrum SP101 Platforms - under floor standers
I've been using them for about 10 years now, and I still love them as much as ever. They were a great investment. They clarify music and make the speakers disappear as sound sources. 
Canary Audio
I think their gear is great from what I've heard. Wish I could afford the big 300b amps. It is also made very well when you look inside.

Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank
Kimber, Cardas and Audioquest all make good ones. I personally use the Cerious Technologies Graphene extreme and think that they are great balanced performers in every area, as well as good value for the money. Great support too.   
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
stevecutler,Thank you for your wise and even-handed comments. When the lights are out, and the music is playing, each amp will have its own sound, and given modern distortion figures are reasonable, they will all be acceptable although different, ... 
McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output
stereo5,I had a similar experience. I put an ancient Mac 2105 up against a Pass 250.5, (I owned both) in my system using 4 different speakers that I own, and the Pass 250.5 sounded thin and electronic (not natural) compared to the Mac. My buddy th... 
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
shadorne,I don't understand it when you and others say that McIntosh is overpriced. They perform well, they are reliable, and compared to many brands like Soulution and CH Precision, they're almost cheap. 
McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output
kosst_amojan,You said:"For me their simply out of the question. My Focals were designed to be powered by direct coupled solid state amps and utilize impedance curves to draw power and flatten the response. A power source amp that's indifferent to ... 
McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output
I admit that I'm a fan but not a fanatic when it comes to Mac gear. That said, after having owned autoformer coupled pieces and non autoformer coupled, I feel autoformers coupled sounds fuller and more natural.Now prepare to hear from the Mac Auto...
