best speakers for vocals?
Tboooe, I'm somewhat surprized that no one mentioned MG-20.1's or MG-3.6's, depending on your room size, they offer exactly what you are looking for sonicly, with the type of music you listen to.

Pass labs X250.5 vs Jeff Rowland Model 10, or 201
Goone, both the 250.5 and 350.5 are great sounding amps, however, the best sounding single chassis amp in the .5 series is the 350.5 by a significant degree. Not just more power, but a qualitative shift towards "musicality" without losing any exte... 
ML preamp with Pass Aleph amp ???

Accustic Arts DAC I MK3 &Drive I vs. PLAYER I-MK2
Simpleguy, the new revised AA CDP 1-MK2 is a terrific player in its own right, but we are talking about another level of performance when discussing the AA DAC 1 MK3 and transport.I use in my system the AA DAC1-MK3 with a Ensemble reference transp...

Acoustic Zen Action.
Coach, I have been a fan of Mr. Robert Lee's wires, owner and designer of Acoustic Zen, for the last five years. His products offer a great cost/performance ratio, are wonderfully built, and have a great balance between "musicality" and details/cl...

The other posters have addressed the "techno" part of your question, I would just like to share I have tried different reference transports and they do offer different sonic signatures just like high end turntables.I have had in my system the foll...
