Speaker recommendation for married couple
More info: In case there is an excellent price on a new equipment, I do not buy new. So, for a used speaker our budget is max $2000

@4hannons:I actually wrote my last comment at the same with you. If the messages had also the seconds shown, probably we had 5 secs difference:)English is my second language. Sometimes I write things that can’t express what I actually mean. I tota...

Although my two last comments about the DACs being similar/different seem like they don't make sense. I meant DACs that are in similar price range. Obviously, SB Touch and Bitstream comparison is not fair.

Also, for whatever it is worth; I can almost instantly compare Bitstream vs. the Logitech SB Touch's DAC which is not a bad DAC and liked very much by some people. I will tell you this; the Bitstream is better by a MILE!

I only stream Tidal HIFI via Logitech SB Touch. The only one I tried with the exact system is the Bifrost and Chord Mojo. Others I have mentioned above were in similar or different systems. I honestly think most DACs sound pretty good/similar I me...

No, stock. I don't blame you. I just wanted to get a DAC that sounds like LP and after so many readings/asking, I bought the Bitstream. It sounds so good, I am also suprised by it.

Although I did not compare to Gungir, I have compared to other Schiit DACs such as Bifrost. I also heard DCS DACs and recently heard Gustard X20 Pro and owned various DACs including Chord Mojo. Bitstream is the only DAC that gives me the analog LP...

I opened a thread about Museatex Bitstream being the best DAC I have heard. So, although most of you will find it odd that I am recommending a 25-year old DAC, I can say that you have to try it before you say anything. I can't believe how musical ... 
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
Thanks! No, mine is a stock unit. I am leaning towards the Tortuga Audio but have not made my mind yet. 
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
My DAC is Musatex Bitstream. Amp is Class D. Thanks.  
difference between an active and a passive preamp?
I am bumping an old thread here!I am leaning towards going with a passive preamp. Although, I am not into numbers too much because as long as you like the sound, who cares but in this case, I think it is important to check some numbers.Is passive ... 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
I should also add that (obviously) above is my opinion. Everyone is different. No, Harbeth will not rock the house, no they are not party speakers. So, I guess there will be people who even hate Harbeths:) 
Harbeth Love and your experiences
No offense to people who spend big bucks on "ultra high-end" expensive speakers. Really, Harbeth is the only speaker you need. I have heard and owned many speakers. Some cheap, some expensive. I owned from Sonus Faber Extrema to Elac, Magnepan to ...
