New Denafrips amp and preamp
You should buy one and then post endlessly about how wonderful it is and soon, you can be featured in their ads. 
Best way to pay for audio purchase?
How about Zelle? 
The Music Room
They have a used Stellar S300 listed now and it's only $35 more than new! Someone better jump on it!! 
The Future of Audio Amplification
Those Ford Model As were pretty good too. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
Coincidentally, I was doing a record cleaning session yesterday and was playing some vinyl I hadn't heard in a while. I was struck by how "right" it sounds. 
The Music Room
I've never dealt with them. But when I see them posting used gear at HIGHER than new retail..... 
Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
Just sticking my nose in here. I have Triton 1s and have NEVER found the sweet spot constrained. Quite the opposite. 
Go dual small sub, switch to closed sub or buy a bigger sub?
For HT, ported is fine. I hate them for music.  
New power cord needed for speaker with powered subwoofer?
And another one bites the dust... 
D-Sonic and Magnepan?
"Class D sucks so I would avoid those."What year is it where you live? 
Denon AVR vs. Martin Logan Electrostats
I use a Denon as well, though with much easier to drive speakers. My thought would be an upgrade, perhaps to one of the Anthem or NAD AVRs. They are generally of a higher quality....and cost, of course. 
What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ?
The biggest downside of having Maggies is that you will be spoiled for life. Everything else sounds like boxes. 
GT Audio Works Hybrid Planar Speakers Listening Se
It's funny how many products are claimed to "sound better than Magnepans", but never actually do. 
Anthem 225 vs Yamaha A-S2000
No Yammie ever made deserves to be in the same sentence as the Anthem. 
Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7?
Buy this used https://www.digitaltrends.com/amplifier-reviews/anthem-integrated-225-review/ for under $1000 and spend the rest on music. Or beer. I used one with Maggies for years...it’s a GREAT combination.
