| looking for bookshelves - Another usual boring speaker discussion I've always found most Focals, B&Ws and Wilsons to have very similar sound characteristics. That is I find them overly bright and analytic for my taste. If that is the sound you prefer I can understand the Sonus Fabers, Habeths and Spendors no... | |
| speaker upgrade fever Add Sonus Faber to your list. The most musical speakers I have heard. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Never really heard a Wilson speaker that I liked. | |
| Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment? In Australia at least I would say the value of used audio is falling just like the Aussie$. | |
| Modding a Oppo 103 I had an Oppo 103 and then upgraded to a 205. I couldn't hear much or any difference in SQ so sold the 205 and still have the 103. So I doubt the mods would make much difference. | |

| Doozy of an amp question +1 for ARC or VTL or VAC as other options. | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? Please don/t do it, sell them and buy something that fits the shelf. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? +1 to an Antipodes even if used. | |
| Pass Lab Amp questions, back of amps, power cable & 12v trigger. Once you hear a Pass amp I suspect you will want to sell the Krell. | |
| Eversolo, can I do better? +1 audiophile1 |
