What is your favorite budget streamer?
+1 Auralic Aries Mini  
PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
I used to use PP G/S when selling and I would gladly pay the fee. The 1099 crap makes it challenging to use it- but I understand the buyer's dilemma.  
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
I watched the Pursuit Perfect System and its finding the best match for the B&W 705 Sig was the Gryphon 120. I just received a new pair of 705 S3 Sigs and they seem to be settling in and I'm finding the sound far more balanced. Gotta say thoug...

I'm sorry to be such a disppointing person to some of you . This amp is detailed, dynamic, great soundstage and imaging. I have a phono stage built-in that is fantastic for me. It's a great amp... except a bit dark. Looks like were at Pulsar, Fo... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
I have heard great things about the Pulsars and I see them occasionally available around the $4000 range. I've never heard these. Do they havethe treble energy required? I'm sure with a Hegel it would work- but with the Gryphon?  
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
I love Harbeths(I've owned P3ESR and 30.2) but I don't think they'll work here. Never heard Focals but given what others have said they may be a good fit. The Dynaudios...maybe...never heard this model but I used to have C1 Platinums and they are ... 
Phono Preamp Selection
Might be a tad over your budget but I'd recommend a used Tavish Vintage  
Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary
Which Aurender?

Not to change the subject but how would an Auralic Aries Mini hold up these days? They seem pretty cheap on the used market? Too old?  
Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary
Maybe I should be more specific. I have an Auralic Altair G2.1 (DAC and streamer) and I'd like to go separates (DAC and separate streamer.) I'm planning getting a Holo May KTE DAC soon and am looking for a really good streamer but don't want to wa... 
why expensive streamers
Streamers and dacs work in tandem. I wouldn't get the best out of a DCS Vivaldi DAC  using a Bluesound Node, just as I wouldn't get the best out of a Grimm using a Topping DAC.  
Streamer only
Lumin U1 mini  
Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp?
Thanks for your help folks. My room is 13 x 11 with the speakers lined up along the long wall. One of the short sides is open to the rest of the house. So small room basically.   Speaker are 5ft apart and I'm sitting 6 ft away  
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
Better streamer!  
speakers for small room
I do want a bigger sound. FWIW, I will be keeping my P3's as I can A/B switch my speakers (one of the many reasons I like the Accuphase)
