I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?
This is easy. My aha moment was coming around a corner in a Sam Goody store in the seventies. They were playing music through JBL L100s. I remember thinking, "WHAT THE HELL!" I’ve been chasing the dragon ever since, but I have finally caught him: ...

@triumphtt02 Love the half grills. I find myself putting the grills on even when I have adults visiting. I just know someone will say, "Oh, look at the these cute button things." And then proceed to push on them.

@yakbob I have my DI's 5 inches from the wall. Granted, it's a half wall, but they sound wonderful. 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?

Had to share:Last night, I fell in love with my Di’s all over again. After installing a Bluesound Node 2, I was able to listen to MQA for the first time. Without going into all of the usual adjectives, let me just say that I found myself shaking m... 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Happened to me last night! Usually when I first play a track on my system (Upgraded Di's and Vincent SV-237MK) I'm in awe. Had such a session on Friday night. It was an evening of bliss. (Wife was away and I played as loud as I wanted to and for a... 
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/ele/d/vincent-sv-500-integrated/6578180074.html  Can't recommend this amp high enough. If my daughter was in the need, she'd be getting it. 
Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s!
My vote is for a Vincent SV-237MK. Purchased one recently and I am absolutely thrilled! Check it out. http://www.audioadvisor.com/ssearch.asp?txtsearch=vincent+sv-237+mkAND, you could buy a new one. They're on sale. Best of luck. 
McIntosh vs. Vincent
Another vote for the SV-237MK. Purchased mine about two weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with it. AND, they're on sale now @ $2400. Loved it out of the box, but since it's had about ten hours on it, it is only getting better. (I found myself c... 
First time tube integrated buy
I'll make you a deal on a pristine Vincent SV-500. Tubes in the preamp. Solid State in the output. The best of both worlds. It has plenty of power for what you're looking for. (I'm only selling it because I upgraded to the top of the line Vincent.... 
Mid-fi integrated tube amp advice
I have a Vincent SV-500 that I'd do a good deal for you if you have any interest. I just upgraded to a larger Vincent. I would put the SV-500 against any integrated costing two to three times its cost. There are tubes in the preamp section and I h... 
Vincent SV-236MK
Well, I answered my own question. I purchased the SV-237MK! The SV-237MK is an improvement in bass & bloom, and the remote volume control has been corrected. I have to say that even though I love the new amp, it just shows how good the SV-500 ... 
Vincent SV-236MK
Does anyone have experience with the Vincent SV-500 integrated? I absolutely love mine, but I've just come down with upgradeitis. I'm considering the SV-237MK. I don't need the extra power, but I thinking newer-more expensive..."It must be better....

Cool video Nitrobob. Love the way you casually adjust your glasses while screaming down the track.
