Voyagers Being Delivered. Comments Please
Thanks. I needed some pallet cleanser after reading 30+ comments that will likely get Jays' thread pulled, mostly because Ric cannot keep his new age comments to himself.  I had an A23, which leaned toward dark, and was extremely warm to the touc... 
Suggestions for high efficiency speakers?
you didn't give a buget, but based on your kit, seems like ~$3000 is doable. There's a pair of Eerald Physics 2.8s (open baffle) on another used gear site that should make you very happy. I currently have 3.4s + dual powered subs, though I am conf... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
One of my previous class Ds was Emerald Physics 100.2 SE monos with custom fuses, which were better than the then W4S class Ds, but outdone by the PSAudio M700s and further outdone by my EVS 1200: none holding a candle to the Voyager, but if your ... 
Replacement for current speakers suggestions
@millercarbon   +1 on the springs. Look at it this way $80 (2 sets), though you may find 3 under each sounds better; they do under my components   hth  
Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's
I remember in the early days OHMs could not play loud, so be good to investigate   Right now you can pick up a pair of Emerald Physics 2.8s for a song (I have 3.4s, essentially the same but without dual 15" carbon fiber woofres). Can be driven b... 
Stock Voyager GaN amp (350/600) Contrasted with my EVS1200 (600/1200)
Adding this link to a review of the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5. These have been in my system for several years, and I find them hard to replace without spending a lot more, though I would love to hear R2R but it would need a similar HQ analog volu... 
Class D amp recomendations please
There are several LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp threads here. You might check them out. I have the Voyager for about 6 months now: it crushes  
Class A amplifier alternative?
Im surprised no one has recommended the LSA Voyager 350 a GaN based amp. There are several excellent thread on AG to check out   hth  
Class A amplifier alternative?
@audioman58    +1 on the Voyager GaN amp.   My previous class D was a EVS1200 which Ric Schultz builds them based on dual IcePower AS1200 modules. One of the reasons was I wanted a lot more power than I had with PS Audio M700s. I raved about t...

Advice needed re: new CD player purchase
If I was in the market I would definitely try the Technics 
Best DAC+Volume Control under $1000 (used)
Over the decades Ive owned lots pres and dacs, both tube and SS. For about 2 years now I have enjoyed a Audio Alchemy DDP-1 (DAC/PRE) and PS 5 outboard PS. It has most of the I/Os needed and the remote allows me to switch between my Oppo 105 direc...

Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty
@jjss49 It is not your responsibility to make such comments Notice he used the word PREFER "I would prefer feedback from anyone who has compared any of these combination of Amps."  
Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty
I highly recommend reading the various LSA Voyager 350 GaN amp blogs here. It’s only ~ $3-4K, but I believe you can spend the rest of the money on anything else and not look back, or forward to another ampALSO, I bought my 105 new and used it fro ...
