MSB BREAK IN PERIOD
My Esoteric SACD player took a couple of hundred hours to break in. My Wyred4Sound dac took about 100 hours. Patience is a virtue. 
Golden Ear Triton 1 Amplifier suggestions
I use a Audible Illusions Modulus 3B all tube preamp with a Odyssey Stratos Extreme+++ Power amp. It is connected to my Triton One speakers via Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables and interconnects. They really will bloom around the 200 hou... 
Impedance mis-match?
I use a V-link192 connected with a 75 ohm Wireworld Starlite 7 cable into a Wyred4Sound Dac1. Sounds better than my Esoteric UX-3 SACD player. 
Diana Krall, Wallflower
Best thing to come from Diana Krall is her great legs. Not a fan of her music. 
Rega RP8 Clearaudio Concept Wood or...?
I am running a VPI Scout with the JMW 9 arm and the ZU/DL103 cartridge. It sounds wonderful going through a Bob's Devices SUT and my Audible Illusions Modulus 3B Tube pre. 
Recommendations for a mat for the PS Audio PWT
I would think that the PWT isn't designed to use with a mat. On the other hand, I used a SID mat (sound improvement disk) and it worked fine on my Jolida cd player but not on my Esoteric sacd player or my Sony sacd player.Doubtful it is needed. 
Emotiva XDA 1 DAC Any thoughts?
Owned one a few years ago, bought it new when they were 149.00. It's decent for that price, certainly better than the least expensive HRT inline dac. I think it uses an Analog Devices dac chip. It definitely isn't the last word in resolution but i... 
System upgrade advice
I find the B & W speakers as bright as the Paradigm's. 
Odyssey Kismet Reference Speakers-
I haven't heard the reference monitors but according to people at the last show where it was being used, they are an unbelievable value for the money. 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
I started this thread to share my excitement of the Triton Ones which I bought local and brand new. Normally I buy used here, but every once in a while, I buy new. So, this was extra special to me. I planned on updating this post as the speakers b...

Schubert......."Of course, values do vary among people, some dislike slavery, others are indifferent to it. Your call."I think it best that you call Sandy Gross and express your displeasure with him directly. BTW, if you drive an American car like...

Schubert & other complainers..............Thanks for crapping on my new speakers. Here I am sharing the excitement of my new speakers and you people have to be jerks and complain about them being made in China. Since it's my hard earned money ... 
My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow
On the speaker boxes it says: designed In America, manufactured in China. I don't see the big deal, all our phones, tablets, Apple products are made in China. If you don't like where they are made, then don't consider or buy them. FYI these speake...

Audiolabyrinth.................Thank you. To be honest, I feel a lot like you. I have heard many expensive speakers and most of them to my ears, sound like crap. These are the first speakers I have had that doesn't make me second guess my decision...
