Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
I second. the Borresen X-3 @ 11K..........nothing in that price range is even close !!a company that has a $500K speaker and they use the same tweeter in ALL their models....even the X-3...C’mon.

GaN Class D amps are already outdated, it's time for GaN on Diamond!

My Aavik Amp uses the PASCAL Module...The best.

Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I actually am picking one up today @ 2pm. Can't wait to hook it up and have a wonderful EQ weekend. I'll report back with impressions.

There is none out there......
I did see a Naim streamer at TMR...is it wi-fi......I’ll check. .....I never heard the term Mesh Pods....what are they and what do they do?  
There is none out there......
Thanks everyone......If I forget about ripping my cd's for the time being....is there a stand alone quality streamer that will work with Wi Fi....At the Hi Fi Shows don't they all use the Hotels wi-fi....Even the real hi end rooms.  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
I think Clayton should start taking orders and charging credit cards AFTER he produces the First pair of Caladans for Sale to the public !.......Not just prototypes to show them off.
