| Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio? I'm with you on the R2R DAC thing. The Metrum Onyx is another one in your price range and is also NOS. The Onyx features a lot of the design and proprietary technology from their top DACs, and they're built in the Netherlands if that matters. H... | |

| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor If you're like me, and 2-channel is your passion but you also want a good, satisfying, and entertaining HT experience, I'd find it VERY hard to justify the considerable added expense of running a separate AV processor and multichannel amp. You're... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @freesole -- these are new speakers, right? If they're not broken in and you already like what you're hearing, I think that's a great sign. Be interested in what changes you hear as the D9s break in. Congrats on a great pair of speakers! | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. +1 @mrmb -- great post @spatialking and left me wanting to at least do something to mitigate electrical issues I almost certainly have here. Could you possibly post some links to some products to help us non-EE types try to fight this battle? I'... | |
| AV cabinet for large center channel. There are stands made for putting larger center speakers on the floor that angle the speaker upwards. If this passes the WAF test it's probably your simplest and cheapest solution. | |

| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 +1 @4hannons -- what's your budget and what sound characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers "If speakers are making something "more" [holographic, as in your example] or "less" than what’s handed to it, you have a problem."Problem is, there's no way to know that unless you made the recording yourself. Only thing we can do is compare spe... | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers The JA house sound pretty much nails exactly what you're looking for as well or better than any other speaker I can think of, and no need to close your eyes as they also pull off an incredible disappearing act in room. I heard the Mozarts a while... | |
| Joseph Audio RM-33LE vs DeVore Gibbon 8, my experience. Good for you!!! Big JA fan here, but never heard the RM33s so no opinion there. But you know what? You did it the RIGHT WAY that most of us don't get the opportunity to do. It is SO clear you made the right choice. It even makes ME feel good ... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Home Theater "Sorry Soix we beg to differ. We have a full home theater room with some state of the art components and when you have a real home theater setup the experience is transcendent."Shocker. A dealer, shamelessly again trying to use this site to deneg... | |
