Looking for Speaker Recommendations
If you want a spectacular soundstage that is detailed but never fatiguing I can highly recommend the Dynaudio Confidence 20. They are like magic and right in that price range. They will easily fill a room of that size and they have amazing bass ex... 
Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
Just my thoughts. first of all, you have done a good job building what you have. Second, I am so glad to see you did not mention cabling as I don’t think they really make a bit of difference at this level. I would recommend a stand alone DAC. I wo...

Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue "Un-mastered"  SACD    
Chord DAVE DAC
Listen to all that you can. But what you like the kind of. It doesn’t have to be expensive to sound good. Consider Delta-Sigma, Resistor Ladder (R2R), and FPGA, based types of DACs. Remember that the actual chip, or way the 1’s and 0’s are changed... 
Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot
Find a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinums and be happy. Less money sound better than either one.  
macOS Big Sur iTunes playback with lid closed and controlled by iTunes "Remote" app
Thanks Tom, this is a helpful work around. I just don’t u see stand why it no longer works when it did before. I would like it to wake when I send a command to it from the Remote app and then sleep again when I am done listening, rather than be aw...

Amp repair cost — is this right?
Lots of comments here so I won’t try to add something that has already been said. I just bought an A308CR power amp 4 months ago from an owner where it sat in the box unused for over a decade. It looks like new and hasn’t even a spec of dust insid... 
Musical Fidelity a308CR - amp type??
They are class a/b and biased to class a for about the first 8 watts. They draw 70watts at idle and stay nice and warm.  
Do I have enough electronics for Contour s1.4?
Thanks for your comments. I found a good deal on a set of demo Confidence C1 Platinum's and am loving them. I listened to some C2's, the new Contour C60's and C20's and really found I preferred the C1 sound and size/form factor.  
Do I have enough electronics for Contour s1.4?
Well here we are almost 5 years later and the upgrade bug has hit me again. The s1.4 have been great and triggered several other upgrades. I am now running the Musical Fidelity A3.2CR separates (Pre/Amp) and a modified MSB Gold DAC. Considering th...

The amplifiers were made by Crown, perhaps they would know? 
musical fidelity A3.2 cr power amp repair
Where in California are you based? I may be able to make a recommendation in the SF Bay Area. Also curious as to what is the problem with the amp, I have one too. Another option is to contact www.audiohigh.com a MF dealer in Mt. View, CA, they may...

Upgrade-itus: Classé DR-9 vs. MF A3.2?
The amp underwent a tune (new caps) and firmware upgrade (bais adjustment?) 5 years ago, according to current owner.
