CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh.
@aldnorab   Interesting. Sounds like you are an ideal candidate to try Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter. I wrote about it the other day Also I wash all new cds with a DROP of organic soap and distilled/RO water in a dish barely covering the cd... 
The Best Preamp is no Preamp?
Over the many decades I have owned various passive pres, autoformers, stepped attenuaters, dedicated preamps/dacs (tube/ss), and for a couple years now, what I think is the best opf them all: Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 (PS -5 being essential to op...

Your single most significant purchase mistake?
@zavato sweet Avatar   Rogue M150 monoblocks. I had both cryoed KT 6550 and EL 34 tubes, Harmonic Resonance boards + Stillpoints and Risers high quality PCs, DHL Silversonic XLRs, HQ PLC, 20amp dedicated line. No matter what I tried they sounded... 
CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh.
First I went to the Disc Sox www. What a poorly designed site. Line drawings do not convey what the product actually looks like. A YouTube video would be nice Which product did you buy? As to greening, a vastly superior way of maximizing every CD... 
Recommended Power Amps For Focal Sopra 2 Towers. $10K Budget. GO
I think you will be blown away at the sound/dollar if you get the LSA Voyager GaN 350 (dual mono). MSRP $3000, but selling new at $2500! I replaced a 2+Xs the wpc EVS 1200 (dual mono). Not only is the Voyager a more complete sounding amp, it sound... 
Question about Class A
Investigate GaN amps first. There are several threads on AG that should prove helpful (one is mine). As I recall, at least one person preferred the LSA Voyager GaN amp to Nelson Pass, PLUS, GaN runs cool (less electricity) and Underwood sells them... 
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
@twoleftears "If anybody could get both amps in the same room at the same time, then they would really have my attention." Indeed! I would also add the LSA Voyager 350 @ 3+ times the wattage but has an MSRP of $3000, though usually available f... 
Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
Open Baffle tend to be very good at this, as they eliminate cabinet resonances inherent in most box speaker designs

Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4
It’s mostly the amp. I too have OBs, in my case Emerald Physics 3.4s (concentric 1" polyester in a 12" woofer) and my room is ~ 35 x 20 x 12’ peak in an open beam ceiling. Front wall is ~ 80% glass and rear wall is 100% glass. A tough room to get ...
