Preamp w/ a budget of $2000
Jolida Fusion Preamp is very musical. Lots of gain. Will definitely wake your system up. For 2K you could get one with some upgrades. I have the Vishnay resistor upgrade and upgraded tubes.  
Class D is just Dandy!
Picked up a Calyx class d integrated over the weekend. Have to say I'm pretty impressed. Like it way better than the Rogue Sphinx I had for a short while. Lots of power, very smooth, good body to strings and voices, quiet as a mouse.  
Tekton Double Impacts
I picked up a Calyx CTI this weekend. Sounds awesome with the DIs. What a wonderful little integrated. Very very precise with a hint of warmth and great flow or prat whatever you want to call it.  
Schiit Vidar.... Anyone heard one yet?
Naimfan,looking forward to your impressions.

“Invest” in Tekton?
Stereophile measures the Enzo XL I believe it was.  
“Invest” in Tekton?
I've done on axis and off axis measurements with my crappy little iPhone audio tool app within 5db all the way. Mostly within 2-3. The DIs measure better than anything I've owned in the past 6 years in a room at my home and that's with a tube prea...

evolvist,i listen to a LOT of metal on my DIs. Slayer, Megadeth, Soilent Green etc. If it is a descent recording they sound very very good. It takes really good mid bass for metal to sound right and the DIs have that in spades. Lesser recordings l...

best matching full range speakers for sx880 pioneer (60W rms per channel)
For $300 some used Cerwin Vegas. That would do the trick if you want full range sound. They won't be the most refined things around but they sound pretty good, fun, and probably the closest to full range you are going to get in the $300 range.

Well I got about 2000 miles in this year so far on my bike. But ...... it's got a big ass motor! Maybe I should go the peddly route and I wouldn't be such a fatass! Lol

333jeffrey,I know your Ulfs may not be completely broken in. So far is it safe to say you prefer the sound of them to the DIs?  
Goldenear Triton 1 vs Goldenear reference speakers.
Nobody get their reference's yet?  
Kef 107 vs triton 1
I have heard some of the older KEF reference series. They sound great but I don't think can compare to some newer designs. I would go for the Triton 1 between the 2. I had them for less than a year and thought they were really good. Only sold them...
