Thanks.  I like Moon Safari better, but I thought it was a perfect name for this site back when I signed up.   
Marantz PM8006 vs NAD C375BEE
What is it with people on these forums constantly suggesting gear that is significantly more expensive than the OPs listed options and budget? 
Technical Network Streamer Question
To simplify the question...I am looking at the Yamaha WXC-50, Bluesound Node 2i, Cambridge CXN and Marantz NA6005.  I would really like to go with the Yamaha simply for the price, but if I am using a separate DAC am I really missing much? 
All-in-one streamer/amp with HT bypass?
I wish there were more all in one options out there for this.  The Parasound P6 and Hint 6 have HT bypass and subwoofer management, but not streaming.The Peachtree Nova 150 and 300 have HT bypass and a "Coming soon" streaming attachment of some ki... 
Parasound Halo P
DAC in the P6 is identical to the Hint 6 Integrated.  Actually, according to the owner the entire preamp section in the Hint 6 IS the P6.  They are the same preamp, the Hint just has a power amo section.Also the same DAC used in the new Peachtree ... 
Which Budget HT Bypass Option?
The PS looks pretty nice.  I think it will be a few weeks before I make a decision. 
marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
I’d love to go with the Peachtree because it is so much more exciting, and in the end I will probably buy one over the Marantz, but I feel it deserves a mention that I’ve read as many as 5 circumstances where customers had problems with their Nova... 
marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
From what I’ve read it seems to me that the Marantz PM8005 is a very well built solid amplifier that is very much so a “traditional” amp.  The Peachtree Nova 150 on the other hand is very unconventional with it’s class D amp, bult in DAC and speci...

Been teetering between these two for a new pair of Dali oberons that are on order.  Anyone else care to way in? 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
@erik_squiresBloody hell...  Apologies Erik.  I just skimmed through your link real quick last night.  Didn't realize the $1k was for a custom built cabinet assembled and finished.  I drunkenly stumbled through it and assumed that it was the DIY b... 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
@erik_squires The link you posted claims $1,000 to build the cabinet.  I could build it out of solid Cocobolo for $500.  What gives?

@audiotroy I am in New Jersey.  I would to check out you’re spot.  Where abouts? 
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
I stand corrected.  In reading the review Audiotroy posted the Newer Q series (50's) have a proper 2:1 ratio for the radiators, which now both occupy the same chamber as the woofer.  Much better.    
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
Side note / Rant: Why are you considering the Q series? I always thought they were a terrible design.     Correct me if I’m wrong… But when you’re using passive radiators, the radiator is recommended to be twice the surface area of the active ... 
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
I have been going back and forth between KEF and Tannoy too. I am leaning towards the Tannoy XT6F’s or XT8F’s because I have heard so many good things about them. Reviews say that they have incredible imaging, lots of bass, and a very lively sou...
