By the way, JA used a $6,000 Ayre universal player -- I've heard the thing and it lieves up to its reputation -- as a transport. I think this qualifies as "high end." For the Nth time, he found the difference between using it and using the SB3 as a transport to be just about inconsequential. That's saying a lot, because you could buy 20 SB3s for the price of the Ayre or one SB3, one Lavry, and one set of very respectable speakers for that budget (Harbeth, Dali, Audio Physic, Gradient, Quad, etc...on the used market, especially, four grand can land you a terrific set of speakers.). For that matter, you could buy a Transporter and a very nice set of speakers for that budget. Not "world dominating," but very nice indeed...as nice as most people would be happy to have.
-- highdudgeon SB3->Lavry DA10->Nuforce 9.02s->Harbeth Monitor 30s/Skylan stands. Simple and satisfying. In a larger room, I would move back to larger speakers, subs, and probably RCS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
