TEAC UD-701 vs NT-505 vs ?
To jbuhl: I would call this: an introduction of sorts. The seller, by definition, can not provide an objective review. Very seldom do so-called "independent reviewers." He wants to sell this product and discusses the BR-20 accordingly.  
Has the ASR review/hatchet job on the Musetec MH-DA005 Changed Anyone's Mind?
@fsonicsmith - I like your arguments. I even think there may be some unknown attributes in wildly admired audio components as of today. Characteristics that haven't yet been pinpointed and thus haven't been measured? And perhaps many people could ...

@hilde45 - I have read just a very few of your posts here. And they impress me. They sound like a voice of reason on this thread. Thumbs up!  
HiFi Rose RS250
Hi @mbolek, Great information. Wonderful and intriguing opportunity. It could be the best gift to many audiophiles just before Christmas! Happy Christmas to you and all!!!

Thank you much, baylinor. I appreciate your kind and wise words. It's good to see that this board has grown-ups.

Thank you, holmz. Minimalism in audio (or Future-fi as some call it) makes much more sense than all those twenty-century creations, like preamps and multi-thousand dollars worth of room treatments.

Thank you, russ69. A long time ago, I subscribed to this notion of future-fi or minimalistic audiophilia philosophy that your music could come from modern equipment, which does not necessarily have to be complicated to be great. For instance, many... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
I agree with carlsbad that an average DAC could spoil all the magic. However, intermediate speakers could ruin it.

Thanks, djones51. I was not aware that Genelecs have a built-in DAC. Although those KEFs do. You see, I strive to get the great sounding system for less. Still, my impression of a Terminator II and Terminator Plus is that these would give me a muc...

Thanks, roxy54. I am a non-native speaker, and in my native language, there is one letter for one sound. Russians joke that when brits write: Manchester, they read: Liverpool. Jokes aside, I wondered whether you could provide me with expert advice...

Thank you, mapman. I thought to make this my "end game" and wondered how long those components and speakers would last. I am 66 y.o.   
NAD M33
I am interested in reading the user's opinions about this, may I say a value product the NAD M33. Where does it stand among some other relatively affordable all-in-ones? How does it compare to some separate streamers, DACs, and amplifiers which ma... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
A very important reminder is to tell all the equipment those "best" amps were used with. We all know that sometimes a preamp or speakers, heck even cables could make a good component to sound mediocre. 
DMS 600 Owner review
Sorry, my mistake. The TEAC NT-505 costs about 1/3 not "less than" but "of the" the Cary DMS 600.
