Looking for my Final Pair!!
Sound Lab Majestic 545  in that price range. They would be my endgame (645 actually) speakers but are out of my price range. Best sounding speaker I ever heard. Maybe someday.Cornwall IV great at their price point too, as they are so engaging, and... 
Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves?
These Salks are well past "burn in" stage and have been satisfying for well over a year now. I debated when ordering the Salks if I should stick with the ribbon option or "upgrade" to the berrylium tweeters along with the specific midrange the "Be... 
Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves?
Jim does make heirloom one of a kind beautiful speakers. He said he had a hard time letting them go once built. Mine are stunning and that's probably why he has my speakers as the example of the BeAts when visiting his site.  This is so hard. The ... 
Magic returns in seldom used bookshelves?
Fair question. I am seriously think of doing exactly that, but am conflicted which is why I posed the question. I don't want to regret selling absolutely gorgeous Salks that sound really good, just not magical. I suppose the upgrade on the Sierra'...

First Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge Acquisition
I'm running a Herron VTPH-2A with EAT Jo No 5 cartridge paired with an EAT C Sharp table and it really sounds exceptional.  This cartridge also hits your price point.Search the reviews. It punches well above it's weight.  
New DAC or New Streamer or New Streamer/DAC
Depends on your budget of course, but at a similar price point to the Terminator, I can highly recommend Primaluna’s brand new EVO 100 DAC.I took the plunge, and straight out of the box, it is a H U G E improvement over a modded Lampizator Amber 2... 
Primaluna EVO 100 Tube DAC has anyone heard it??
Bought it new from Upscale Audio. The introductory price is on their website.  I actually would have paid another 2k without hesitation based on the sound so far.  
Primaluna EVO 100 Tube DAC has anyone heard it??
Unboxed mine about two hours ago, and straight out of the box, it is M U C H better than the Lampizator Amber 2 it is replacing which is no slouch! Very musical, with a wide soundstage! Deep tight bass, instruments and vocals are really precise!!!...

Not Enjoying My Turntable
I jumped on the u-turn bandwagon when they first launched. Liked their story, made in the USA and all. The table not so much. You can find much much better at the same or slightly higher price point. Don't give up, but don't chase a fix that you w...
