Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I can see why many listeners would love them, and why others like myself would be less enthusiastic. It is all in the individual ears of the listener. I find them to sound kind of dry, but I do believe that they make a quality product, just not fo... 
I Was at a Funeral of An Audiophile...
Push cry button. I'm touched. Thanks. 
How can anyone afford this ?
Everyone is different. Some people have children and big expenses, but also have correspondingly big incomes. Ordinary middle class people like myself look forward to tax refunds, other unexpected windfalls, and birthday and Christmas gifts. Also,... 
A tale of WAF
When I first moved in with my partner, I had Klipschorns, and in our small apartment, it didn't go over very well, and I eventually agreed to downsize. Thirty-two years have passed since then, he still prefers small monitors, but accepts without c... 
Dynaudio C5 and Cary CAD-805 AE is possible?????
I don't think it is going to work, at least at any realistic volumes. Those speakers like power in reserve.

1970's receivers and integrated amps...
I keep a vintage Marantz 2239 (I think) for occasional use if something in the system goes down. The sound is sweet and smaooth, but the downsides are muted dynamics, and a somewhat homogenized sound. I loved it when it was my first reciever (2225...

Component racks
11flat6,I can only compare the Adona rack I own to the other rack that I used for many years which was a 4 shelf welded square tubular rack by Target with MDF shelves. That was a sonic improvement over my makeshift former rack, and the Adona is mu... 
Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player
Mohit25,I just saw your response to my post. I was not attempting to make a snide remark at all, I was serious. As a member of this forum, you can't seriously believe that you could get a worthwhile modification for around $100.00. You can, howeve... 
Component racks
I like the Adona racks. They look good, sound good, and many have shelves that are infinitely adjustable 
Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player
These days, for a hundred bucks you might get some good used footers if your lucky. Other than that, maybe a second job. 
Ayon Triton the best tubes amp in the market?
