| Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player Did you try unplugging the Sony to see if it solves the problem? | |
| Need help picking PreAmp A GFP-750 would be a great choice, but it's old and had reliability issues even back in its heyday, so proceed with caution. Personally, I wouldn't double down on the GFA-555. The one you have should provide enough power for the 805s. If you're l... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum Color me extremely jealous. Congrats @mzwerner!!! | |
| Amp/Preamps vs. High end AV Receivers As others have mentioned, upgrading the amp without upgrading the preamp will only get you so far, and upgrading to separates will be pretty expensive. Given your investment in speakers, if it were me I'd upgrade to a higher level AVR so you upgr... | |
| Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ?? Music I enjoy: Vocals, 70 db, Near field position. I am attracted to these brands as they seem to place value on things related to musicality.Really? This is what we've got to go on? How about making a little effort in describing more about wha... | |
| Amps under $5500 new or used My $0.02? Decide which speakers you're going to upgrade to first, then pick an amp. The Vandy 3a a great speaker no doubt, but you gonna power them with a Ref 75? C'mon. | |

| Power Cord suggestion please Everything in the audio reproduction chain matters. Period. | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? Joseph Audio Perspective and Nola KO. Also would recommend Vandy and ProAc, but not sure they're "smaller" companies. | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution Agree with comments above that option 1 is best and that you’re not going to find a perfect match for either your amps or preamp. With that, I’m just going to dumb this down a bit in an effort to simplify things. This assumes you’re not looking fo... | |
| Best possible separates for Thiel CS 3.7 Maybe Vitus? | |

| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) To answer your question, I recommended the JA Perspectives because they have a small footprint and a wide dispersion pattern that stays fairly uniform off axis, which is why I think they continue to sound good outside the sweet spot. Are there oth... | |
