| Best skiinny floorstanders I always thought the svelte Totem Arro, Audio Physic Spark, and Vienna Acoustics Mozart had great looks. | |
| Power amp for Vandersteen Treo? I've heard Vandersteens driven by Ayre amps and it's a great pairing. | |

| Ayre QX-5 vs Lumin vs dCS Bartok I can put in a good word for the Ayre. I owned the QX-5 Twenty for a while and really enjoyed it. I found it to be one of those "just works" pieces that never gave me any trouble and always sounded great. I used the network input as a Roon endpo... | |
| McIntosh Mx151 vs. Krell Foundation vs Arcam AV 860 I've owned a Krell Foundation 4K Ultra HD for about three years and my experience matches @babyseaotter99 . Truly excellent audio performance.

| Ayre QX-5 Twenty steaming performance The network input on the QX-5 Twenty is based on a module from ConversDigital. It sounds very good and if it were my only option I'd be happy with it. It makes a fantastic one-box system at a desk with headphones and powered monitors. But, in my... | |
| CD players/Transports/DACs Personally, I've been able to hear differences in DACs more readily than in transports. I agree with the earlier poster who commented that your Cal DAC is legendary. It's a great piece. Having said that, I think balance in a stereo system is the k... | |
| Trying out a tube preamp Wow! Such a great response. I'll be up late tonight researching these pieces. Thanks very much. Jgiacalo: I've actually heard the Rogue 99 Mag. That's what started me off with this idea for a change. Great suggestion. Imin2u: I've also heard the A... |
