amazing transformation...how?
Hi Could this be a " mind set' situation? On your initial listening session you were excited and expecting great things only to be underwhelmed and dissapointed.  When returning a few months later you were expecting to dissapointed and had set ... 
REL S510 or S812
Hi I have 2 x S812s  complimenting my Kef Ref 5 speakers.  My room is 19 x 21 or 400 sqft. The Rels are brilliant choice for 2 channel which is what I use them for 90% of the time but they will do HT as well. As ssid the independent setting is re... 
Coda #8, Pass XA25, or Schiit Tyr to replace PS Audio M700
Hi I owned the M700's and was impressed with them. When I upgraded to Kef Reference 5 speakers and a DCS Bartok streamer/Dac/Pre I naturally wanted to upgrade the amps. I went with the BHK 300's which I am very impressed with and will keep for ma... 
Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
Do you think he checked with his mate Mikey that it was 'ok' to like Mcintosh 😁  
Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations
I too have a pair of BHK 300 monos powering my Kef Ref 5's.  Front end is a DCS Bartok. I haven't got round to tube rolling yet but one day ....  What I can say is I push my system very loud at times and it just keeps on giving. The amps barley g... 
OCD mickey website and negativity.
I used to watch this guy regularly but he has crawled so far up his own backside I don't bother now. What really bugs me is that he trashes so many other highly regarded companies simply because they are not exclusive enough. If you don't like a... 
DAC/Streamer/PreAmp
Hi, I can only speak for the DCS Bartok (non-Apex)as someone has mentioned. I was becoming disillusioned with separates because you constantly upgrade with increasingly underwhelming results. I borrowed my friend's Bartok and it lifted my system t... 
Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged?
Hi Jim Still running my 300's with my Kef Ref 5's.  I use a Dcs Bartok connected via XLR straight to the amps. A very simple set up. It works well and I am very happy with the sound.  The amps have tons of power and even listening at high volume... 
Upgradeitis
I have Kef Ref 5's  Dcs Bartok PS Audio BHK 300 monos. Rel S812 subs x 2 I know how good your Kefs are and to upgrade them is going to take some serious dough. Why don't you consider a couple of subs, that's what I did and I couldn't be happie... 
Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing
Hi Can you push yourself to a used Bartok? This is what I did. I have absolutely no regrets. I was previously forever upgrading Pre amps, dacs and streamers now everything is so much better and far simpler. It connects straight to my balanced amp... 
Help settle a streaming argument!
You could just buy something like a Dcs Bartok which is what I did. This has a high quality streamer, Dac and Preamp. It is an impressive bit of kit. No more messing about with separates. Mark  
Room Too Dead
I had he same problem as you for years, room is a converted loft over a bungalow. 20' x 20' with no hard surfaces. Sound insulated, thick rubber backed carpet tiles, lots of soft surfaces and no brick walls. It was a really dead space. It all chan...

@yyzsantabarbara  I think your obsession with monitors outweighs that of hifi components ... lol  
I have perfected my network for the nth time
...... and what does your Doctor have to say about it all?
