ATC scm40 or Spendor A9
Never heard ATC but was researching them awhile back and they look like the mosr overbuilt speakers I've seen. Take a look at the magnets on the midbass drivers; absolute monsters. 
Integrated with built-in accessible DAC bad move?
I don't know that dacs are really improving by large amounts. A 5 year old dac that sounded good 5 years ago still sounds good today. I think the dac technology is starting to slow down a bit, perhaps aside from dsd. That hegel unit looks to be ve... 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
Ok, I am still able to get cutouts when turning my lightswitch (ceiling fan / dimmer) on and off. Switched out the Digital Cable for an RCA cable and I can't get the signal to dropout no matter what I do now. I think its safe to say that its the d... 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
Yeah, I'm thinking digi cable. Still haven't had a dropout today, yet. Im wondering if when switching inputs from coax 1 to coax 2 lastnight happened to position the cable different enough to reconnect a loose connection within the cable.I'm afrai... 
would I be better off...
Labguy, I'm not hugely knowledable in this arena but you asked if MP3 320kps is cd quality and its not. Cd quality is 1411 kbps.On a side note, spotify premium is 320 kbps, the free version of spotify is 160 kbps, and Tidal music streamer is 1411 ... 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
Zd, thanks! I appreciate you brainstorming with me on this one. I actually already tried the different outlet solution to no avail. I also tried different power cords on the power supply. Nothing worked. Last thing I did lastnight was change my di... 
How Pathetic is Welborne Labs?
Cerrot, let us know when you get your power supply. 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
okay, I just tried the original power supply for the wadia and go no sound. It was silence but every once in awhile I could hear a pop, like a bad electrical issue.What I did next was disconnect the digital coax cable and umbilical cord and just r... 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
its a definite total cut out of sound. It happens 90-95 percent of the time when I touch the light swith in my stereo room, walk across the carpet by my closet in my stereo room, and it happens probably 50-75 percent of the time when I touch the l... 
Anyone else ever experience electrical dropouts?
And stop opening or closing the closet doors? Stop using any light switches throughout the house? Stop using the garage door opener? Uh, okI believe the cutouts are occuring through my source, a wadia 170i ipod dock. Could be the dock or the docks... 
What is you TIDAL setup?

"forward' vs "laid back" speakers
Bombaywalla, Thanks for that informative response! 
Best Minimalist DAC?
"Rough ceiling of $2000"... Steve, isn't your dac $6k? Or are you saying you're going to give the op a 65% discount ;) 
Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale?
Is there a new model coming out and they are trying to blow out the ones they still have? I have seen ps audio do this before. They'll even give the units to TMR to sell on thier behalf. TMR is an online store but is located half an hour from ps a... 
Cullen Crossover Power Cables
Hi Milpai! I use a pangea ac9 for my amp, and ac 14se's elsewhere. I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement in sound.I was actually looking at getting cullen cables before I decided to go Pangea but went with Pangea simply because they cost l...
