Music Server/Player for NOS R2R DAC
I like the Aurender idea a lot, they make streamers that are not too costly...but what you get is phenomenal in terms of SQ, USB 2.0 audio output, user interface (conductor app) and internal storage (most have at least 2TB's) plus external drive c...

My dilemma
Maggies are better served with a strong solid state amp i think. (maggies are tough to drive). I would also KEEP your MAC & CJ and find some better matched speakers, later on. Matt 
Problems with Martin Logan ESL speakers accepting a banana plug?
Maybe try a different shaped banana plug? Some can be easier than others to work with. Or you could try and Crimp the banana plug your self using a pliers and make it fit! If they are 5 way binding posts (they should be) you can unscrew the knob a... 
MC300 MC252 MC501 recommendations based on my setup

Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs.
Mrdecibel.........Im sorry but your argument is based on lunacy. I take it then that everytime your smartphone gets upgraded by Apple or Samsung that you feel duped by the company for which you obviously choose through some leap of faith, that thi...

Looking for a better preamp match for AT OC-9/III
