| buget used amp ? I think it’s a bit of a shame to drive your excellent speakers with a $500 amp, but to each his own. There’s a Bel Canto S300 available here for $750 that at least won’t offend your Thiels. Best of luck. | |
| LSA Signature 20? I think you’ll be thrilled with the LSA-20 Sigs with your equipment — great choice IMHO. If I’m wrong you can send them back, but I’d bet a lot of coin you won’t even consider that after hearing them. Best of luck whatever you decide. | |
| Toslink cable that isn't prone to jitter, possible? Transports matter too. Buy another carousel player and switch to RCA. Your nice new DAC deserves better anyway.

| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Sounds like you’re just looking at speakers you can get a deal on. If you share what sound characteristics are most important to you it’ll get you better recommendations here. | |

| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions I think ProAc, Sonus Faber, and Spendor are all great options, and I’ll add Joseph Audio that are masters of disappearing and to my eye look great from the Pulsars on up. Verity Audio, Nola, and Rockport would be some others to look at. Best of ... | |
| Looking to buy a power conditioner There’s a nice Audience aR2-TSO available here at half price, and at a lower price point on US AudioMart there’s a Running Springs Audio Duke that’s below half price. Both only offer two outlets, but you can easily add a good power strip to expan... | |
