The McIntosh amp is the keeper!
Quad Era for the ones 'on the head'.
Kef Reference Model One for going deep.
Dynaudio Xeo for more active-ity.

Couldn't think of any more. Soccer is not my game!

My local hifi shop sells hifi rose. I've said before in another thread if I had the money to replace my hifi it would be a hifi rose streamer. The shop has one constantly playing, hooked up to a pair of Fyne Audio book shelf speakers it sounds great, although I'd love to actually hear it in the demo room and not just on the shop floor surrounded by second hand hifi gear.

The Russian Korean menu sounds interesting. I wonder if there‘s an American English one too?!

 

[Al ears]

Out: my all Quad surround sound speaker system.
In: a decent soundbar.......

I was confused by that also but my JF setting arrived English as default (it allows you to change to the desired language).
You can always drop them a note to be doubly sure

I am quite there when it comes to hi-fi and don't really believe in improvements given the gear I have now.

But it is a fantasy topic.. so maybe

I would maybe replace the Arylic A50+ amp for an Arylic pre-amp, so I can permanently use my 70s Pioneer amp for the only reason that it looks great and has headphones connector. But if I would practically do that, I would realise how non-sensical that is to have an old class B amp which (despite being lighter) is more power hungry instead of a great class D amp.

 

[njprrogers]

*Possibly* my Roksan Kandy K2 in favour of. a class D Hypex amp from Audiophonics.

Reluctant to lose the K2 as I know it is good but curious about these amps.

 

[matthewpianist]

I don't feel any urge to make changes at this time - I'm enjoying the music so much, and funds don't permit discretionary spend even if I wasn't.

If I was feeling flush I might consider a Cambridge EVO 150 or NAD M10 with a Denon DCD600NE, but I'd have to be convinced of real improvement first. If really flush I would move towards Linn, again with a Denon CD player.

I wouldn't part with my Mission QX1s for anything, unless I could afford GoldenEar DBXs.

 

[newworld]

I have three separate systems and like to mix and match between them. Currently, Triangle BR03 is on its way out and in its place Acoustic Energy AE109 mk2 will be coming in. I started my journey with Aegis Evo 3 and after using bookshelf speakers in many different guises I've come full circle to floorstanders. But I've also added Spendor Classic 4/5 to my collection. I'm a mess.

 

[skinnypuppy71]

Oh no, the transfer market is only days old and I couldn't resist.
Mytec brooklin bridge in at the front end playing alongside the Avid ingenium plug n play , the Novafidelity n15d on the bench with a view to being put on the transfer market.

 

[Jasonovich]

IN - TODN 6N 8AWG OCC Speaker Cable (Danish) - new Bed-Fi cables for the Dali Oberon 3
TRANSFERRED - Krüger& Matz 15AWG OFC Speaker Cable (Polish) - relegated to AV rear speakers
OUT - Van Damme Blue Series Studio Speaker Cable - the Muscle from Brussels to the best bidder on eBay

​

UPDATE:
Made adjustments as per JJBomber 😊👍

 

[nopiano]

Buying - the bargaintastic little amp from Fosi Audio, the v3. It’s so tiny I can hardly believe it works, let alone sound so flippin’ amazing. Not much bigger than a CD case in plan view.

A quick pic from yesterday evening before I connected the power supply, but with speakers and streamer wired up. Even the cables cost more than the amp, never mind the streamer at 50 times the price!

Shouldn't it be TRANSFER for the Kruger & Matz, which has been transferred to the AV rears?
Shouldn't the Van Damne be OUT the door and down the post office?

I can vouch that it is an amazing power amp. It punches way above its weight and more.

Yeah I have to agree with you, it's logical. I thought the KMs are not going any where, They were on the B team but demoted to the C team. Yes it's a transfer and agree VDs are out! 😉

That’s what I’d been hearing, including from folks whose ears I respect and/or systems I’ve heard.

I can’t see it listed in your signature - what part of your system did you use it in? And did you use the beefier 48v power supply or the standard one?

I had one, loved it but I got the upgradislatis itch : - sold it off on eBay and got the Atoll about 10 times the price.
I was using the 32v rather than the 48v but it was suffice for the Dali Zensor 1, which I also sold!

Yeah the Atoll (and the Dali Oberon 3) was the Christmas pressie nobody was going to buy for me so I treated myself

V3s have nice open sound really detailed, I was really gob-smacked by the sound coming out of that cigarette packet, it belies belief. It's a good buy.
