| Vandersteen 2CE Signature II: Is it worth the price of $2700? Why are so many for sale? It’s a more laid back sound, but so musical and non-fatiguing. Very interesting. I only heard a demo of the Treo's (non CT) once. Driven by SimAudio integrated. They sounded very forward to me. Not forward in the sense of bright, but forward in... | |
| DAC recommendations for CDs in 2-channel system Border Patrol. Check them out carefully. | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? Musical is real. | |
| Emotiva XSP-1 vs Belle 22A Belles all the way. | |
| Transport for Exogal Comet Plus DAC Given the engineering that went into the Exogal, I very much doubt a reclocker would make much of an impact. There have been a few transport threads recently. Within the moderate price range, Bel Canto would seem to be most recommendable, though... | |

| What's your investment threshold? Surely there's an underlying issue--or sense--of proportionality at work in much of this. Perhaps--perhaps--plugging a 5K power cable into a 2.5K integrated would make it sing like never before, but then why not just buy a 6K integrated in the fi... | |
| Publication bias and confounders in product reviews - TAS, Stereophile, Audiogon, etcetera @browndt Absolutely! There are numerous manufacturers that for one reason or another are not members of "the club". They good ones soldier on, on the strength of their product, word of mouth, etc., without a boost from S-phile or AS. | |
| Old or new gear Have a look at Audio by Van Alstine's offerings. He does an updated Dynaco as well as various other highly recommendable models. |
