6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times
I agree somewhat seems like they try and find the most complicated way they can give their opinion especially the head honcho. I find it quite irritating that they don't even list what type of gear is being reviewed. You can't always tell at a gla... 
Dynavector XX Mk II
I have the same cart and I use a pre with 70db gain and it works just fine. I would think you probably can get away with 60 but you'll just be running your volume knob a little higher. I would at least try it and see how it sounds before jumping o...

Advice on stand mount speakers
I'd go for the Dynaudio C1 in that room in that price range. 
Best choice for new Dynaudio Excite X12
I think the simaudio gear sounds pretty good with Dynaudio. I had the contour T2.5 hooked to a simaudio i5.3 and got great sound. I think the dynaudios will give you everything back you put in I didn't have good luck with cheaper integrated amps w... 
Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs
For an office system you might consider the new Dynaudio xeo 3. Its a powered speaker with built in dac and wireless so no speaker cables to deal with. I replaced a big rack of gear with a set of these in my bedroom and I couldn't be happier. They... 
What do audiophiles listen in their cars?
I get great use and enjoy very much my car stereo. It's an upgraded Rockford fosgate system in a Nissan Titan. It's one of the better sounding car systems I've heard. I was thinking about getting a new truck a couple years ago and the sounnd of th... 
To Chi-Fi or Not
I think the C1s will prob sound great and a lot better than the Proacs with the system you already have. I've had a lot of Proacs and a lot of dynaudios and my preference is strongly Dynaudio. 
Proac response 2.5 or Dynaudio Special 25
Funny you should dis on Simaudio with Dynaudio. I personally really liked the duo of Simaudio i5.3 and the Dyanudio Contour T2.5 that was my preference for quite some time in bedroom system. I now am just about as happy with the Xeo 3 in my bedroo... 
Proac response 2.5 or Dynaudio Special 25
I have owned the proac d15 D2 and tablette signature. I have also owned the Dynaudio audience 42, s3.4, C4, contour T 2.5 and the xeo 3. My personal preference is strongly to Dynaudio. I never was satisfied with any of the Proacs in fact I think I... 
USB Cables: Audioquest's Diamond vs Wireworld Pla
Yeah but in that shoot out the wire world was by far the most expensive cable. I think it would have been smart of them to include the Audioquest cable in there quite surprising they didn't. I guess all you can take from that shoot out is that mor... 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
The xeo does not need a DAC the DAC is part of the transmitter in fact I dont see how a great DAC could even come into play with these. I guess you could feed the analog inputs from the DAC but that seems weird to not just run a straight digital s... 
Decent entry level turntable?
I'd vote for the nottinham horizon. It's the only entry level turntable I've heard that actually sounds like the real deal
