Just starting with high-res music files
Unfortunately I have zero recommendations - only disappointing experiences with hi rez. I purchased more than 20 downloads. Now I am back to buying CDs and ripping them and also listening to digitized vinyl. Both work better for me on my system. I... 
Tekton Lore-S
I think you would definitely benefit from a sub. I did with my setup.  Try to get one with adjustable crossover AND volume control so you can dial it in for your room.  Then experiment with using the sub bypass to your speakers (amp to sub then to... 
Which integrated amp would you pick?
Perhaps settle on your new speakers then decide? But both are great options although I think Para is a lot cheaper. If you can spend a lot more than that perhaps look at a few other options as well such as Hegel, red wine, Yamaha and Regs - just t...

What amp are you using and what kind of room?  
Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls
I second the idea of electronic eq. Audirvanna has it. Another idea is used Yamaha as series. They look great and have a nice laid back sound. There are great deals from time to time online for these.  
Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use?
If they like current and high dampening consider Hegel 360 or the higher end Hegel separates. They step up to great speakers generally although I have no first hand knowledge of how they play with radho. You have some great options out there keep ... 
Obscure bands
Follow for Now, Uncle Green, Velocity Girl, Big Head Todd. All but vg had great sq recordings and great sounding shows.  
Italy, Europe
I lived in italy and had the same issue and in four years had no luck finding forums or places to buy. I ended up buying only while in the USA and bringing things back in checked luggage which greatly limits options. 
Shiit yggdrasil
Has anyone compared the balanced vs RCA outs on the schiit?  
Why are most speakers designed for robots?
Totally agree with Dave. In the sound vs music spectrum I'm on the music side. Wilsons and other hyper precise gear make detailed sound, require space age set up and only sound good with certain recordings. I am in this game to hear great music - ... 
Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7
another great option is class d audio. They custom make high quality very powerful class d integrateds at a very low price. You coukd then spend the remainder on a dac.  
Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7
You may consider hegel amps with or without the dac. The h160 would do the job while the 200, 300 or 360 would do it with some more power. lots of great options out there. Keep us posted.  
What's happened to Taters ?

Chord Mojo vs. Halide DAC HD
No reviews i know of comparing them. I replaced a great rega dac with the halide and think it sounds excellent. It also comes with high quality cables and no need for a power supply. For me the small footprint sold me on it and its why it replaced... 
Tannoy?
Good question and something I have wondered about also. I own vintage Tannoy HPDs in new custom made cabinets. I would not part with them willingly. They are extremely musical and a pure joy to listen to for a range of music - from jazz to rock to...
