@arcticdeth Have you listened to an EVS1200, or evenly the lowly (by comparison) PS Audio M1200s?You might know I have owned a EVS 1200 for almost 2 years now. My preamp/dac is a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (outboard PS). I had taken out the optica...

New speaker consideration - De Capo MM
Decades ago, when I owned MM de Capos (non BE) I bought felt surround rings for that tweeter, which helped a lot with imaging. These days I would consider Underwood HiFi LSA speakers, which have gotten excellent reviews

What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Michael Buble Live 2 CD set. The last time I listened to it was when using the Oppo 105 (with upgraded LPM) direct, but through my AA DDP-1 + PS5. Last night I listened to it via the WireWorld Optical cable which utilizes the DDP-1 internal dac. Q... 
A phenomenal new CD transport-Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport
The more I think about $3K for just a transport, the more the Technics SL-G700 makes more and more sense. Fantastic build quality and play both redbook and SACDshttps://www.technics.com/us/products/grand-class/g700-series/sl-g700.htmlhth
