What do you all think of ADS/Braun speakers?
I had a pair of mint condition L420s that I gave to a very good friend of my son's.  I always had a love/hate relationship with them, finding them to be hard sounding in the upper midrange/treble.  He was very happy to have a pair of vintage speak... 
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
I think the best way to decide how you like any new component is to live with it for a while.  If you don't like it, it will become obvious quickly.  If it's close, you can go back and forth and compare.  Play lots of different music- see if you e... 
upgrade path from my current speakers? (Dynaudio Special Forty)

Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
jasonbourne71 appears to be a hideous, miserable deaf person in his late 90s, whose only role in life is ruining things for others.  It makes me angry every time I read one of his posts, and I sincerely wish he would just go away.

Inexpensive streaming amplifier
I'd like to thank everyone for their responses; I should have been more specific about budget, because we were hoping to keep it under $300.  I just bought the Arylic A50+ (thank you @nkphoto), which should work well for her (Apple music and TV). ...

Thank you very much for the (near unanimous) replies!  KB  
So This Really Is The End....
So no one wishes to empathize with the poster that his favorite record store/hangout for the past 47 years is closing?  I sure have been bummed when local audio and record stores have shut down!  I still miss visiting Tower Records every time I wa...
