Which bookshelf speakers to choose: Focal Sopra 1 or B&W 805D3 or KEF Ref 1?
Looking forward to your impressions. I’ve got the Focal 1008be2, an after hearing the KEF LS50W I’m looking to hear the R3 and the Ref1.

Upgrade my Yaqin MC-100b for $2,000 - should I or not?
Hi, I had the 100b, it re-introduced me to tube amps. I recapped it and swapped out the volume pot for a black beauty. I really liked it, but I was wondering what the next level would bring.I since tried Jolida 502a, Cronus Magnum, Pimaluna Dialog... 
A little Patience sometimes pays off! (Kef LS50 content)
I have the LS50w (active), placement and treatments most definitely play a big part. KEF touts them as being able to be placed anywhere, and while they will sound good. To get them to sound great you need proper placement, despite the DSP built in... 
Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50)
@jnehma1, Fair enough on your concerns about the LS50w sounding like the passive model, and not wanting to get rid of your amps. Though a 60 day trial gives you an out. That being said, the only other speakers I’ve heard that I like are  Focal, I ... 
Advice on bookshelf speakers (Sierra 2, Buchardt, Monitor Audio, LS50)
Outside of the box thinking here.You might want to try the Kef LS50w wireless version. You could get them on a 60 day trial, and listen for yourself. that would allow you to sell off your other equipment, and reduce the "clutter". Keep the DAC and... 
Trouble Decreasing Treble
@ddemiltio3, With great upgrade come great responsibility, I think Yoda said that.You moved from a really good cartridge, to one that really needs special set up to get the best out of it. Shibatas are particularly finicky, but once you get it set...

A Better Bluesound AC Cable?
I had the Pangea and it was loose. Now I have the AudioSensability cable, it’s a good fit and it has improved the sound.

Dynaudio vs. Focal - Bookshelfs - Help me Decide!
+1 for the suggestion of Focal 1008be2's. focal seems to be retiring that line in favor for the Kantana (sp). you might find them for around 3k or so. don't be shy about asking.They are wonderful speakers. 
Primaluna separates or Integrated?
Whats your budget? What's your current system amp? In my 11X16 room I'm running the Dialogue premium integrated(non HP) into my Focal 1008be2's and it's my final system unless i move to a bigger space.If  you go separates remember to add cables in... 
Strange Noise from PrimaLuna DiaLogue One
Well , at least you know it’s not the PL. You might want to try and move all cables around including power cables. Try to keep them away from each other, or at least at 90degrees. Start with just the pre and the amp. Possible change the position a... 
Prima Luna vs. Jolida
Moved from 502a, to Cronus Magnum , to Primaluna Dialouge premium integrated. While each amp sounds lovely, every move gave me more. More soundstage , more depth, more bass, more detail.I'm in love with the PL DP, and don't see myself moving unles...
