| Denon dcd 110 or Marantz saki Ruby? @sericoloSo glad it worked out for you. The sound has a dynamic drive unlike any disc spinner I’ve had. A musical authority! It’ plays music. Not about treble, midrange, bass etc. just the music. It is as if I went to a more powerful amplifier. | |

| Component upgrade path As happy as I am with my system as it now stands, if I were to do it all over one change would be a top notch integrated amp rather than separates. There are so many great integrateds! You need one less interconnect and after looking at your spe... | |

| Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra? @b4icu You may have misinterpreted my intent. I am not questioning your hearing acuity. I am wondering if you would allow yourself to hear differences that do not align with your rather narrow construct based on your education. Thanks for shar... |
