Upgrade from Revel 228be?
No need to spend a ton of $$$ to get absolute excellence. Get yourself a pair of the totally incredible, but discontinued, Revel Salon 2 speakers.  However, you must bring lots of power and current to the table with the Salon 2’s and you will be i... 
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
@nonoise I fail so see what you’re getting so riled up about. Because you’re the only one here that’s claiming that anyone’s touting the death of CDs and vinyl. Also, no one has any old axe to grind. Fact is, regardless of what you, or anyone else... 
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
@2psyop  I understand thoroughly.  Don't mean to be so blunt, but my previous post says it all in a nutshell.  That's the true reality of the digital world as we live in it today.  I didn't make it that way.  It just is.  Also, music listening and... 
Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble?

The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD
@2psyop  Well. I'm an older person who was also around when CD was first introduced.  At the time, I was running two turntables, reel to reel, and a cassette tape player.  Later on, I added a CD player to the mix.  Now a days, I stream exclusively...

Toe in is crucial
You’re absolutely correct. Proper speaker toe-in is absolutely critical. In my room, it took me forever and a day to finally get my speaker toe-on spot-on. It took a lot of time and patience, but once I got the speakers toe-in just right, I began ... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
@jimmyblues1959 "Vinyl and CD are more popular than ever????" Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, just the opposite of what you stated is true. Yes, vinyl and CD may still be popular with old farts like us, for all th... 
I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!!
Hello all.  Thanks for all your insightful responses to my post.  I just want to emphasize the fact that, I didn't sell my CD player because I didn't think it sounded excellent, I sold it because I found something else I liked better.  Happy liste...
