I got a custom built Dac, been listening non-stop. 
new Magico speakers the Q5
In the end, I'm pretty darn sure Magicos, Avalons, Tidals, Wilsons, etc. could be well-tuned into a listening environment and enjoyed.Would we still be listening to the equipment ?Would the performance sound close enough to give more than a vague ...

There's other speakers out there that sound just as good, if not better for way less (same goes for other audio stuff like amps and cables)Whether I have the extra dough or not, I learned through experience.

Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Thanks Chris (and Bill) Intuitive Summit speakers really make music come alive. It was great having you over to listen and compare notes.Not only are our musical tastes on a parallel universe, we even cherry-picked the same cuts off every CD !On a...

Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport
Andrew,That's the way I feel, floating statements don't cut it for me.I like to put my money where my ears are.Same room, equipment, cables, music etc, your place or mine. 
Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport
Andrew, I'm very sure the Zardoz is the cat's butt and don't doubt your description about it one iota.I do completely agree with Clio09 100% in saying my CEC TL-2X + Museatex Bitstream Dac = Analog.I'm up for a front-end shoot-out, to satisfy my c... 
Review: db System Zardoz Ultimo Transport
