Upgrade path question with $2k to spend
What do you feel is the 'weak link' in your system based on how you use it? Upgrading the Rega P6 will be a significant upgrade - my initial concern is you won't be able to realize the difference with the home theatre receiver.  The change in mat... 
best amp for a Maggy 1.7i
My friend used a NAD integrated amp and I am impressed with the sound per dollar of his system.  I recognize that an improve from end can let Maggies shine; I disagree NAD isn’t a nice match at the Op’s budget       
Dust cover up or down?
Owning a Rega P8 takes this decision away. Dust cover on when not in use Dust cover off when in use Prior turntables I took the dust cover off because my older brother told me to.  
If a speaker cable added 1 - 2 ohms of resistance would that be?
I'm expecting a 1-2 Ohms resistance in speaker cables would impact the signal presented to the speakers and different than the designer of the speakers or amplifiers considered.  
Ps audio aspen FR 30 Loudspeakers
I wish PSB all the success because I enjoy his YouTube videos.    I am happy with my Sonus fabrrs and I selected them based on sound. I don’t know the name of the cross over or components and I can understand that might be important to some.    ...

Favorite religious song
My Sweet Lord - George Harrison...  I'm not very religious and I think it's a well done song.   
Macintosh dac-1.

Moon 700i vs 400M
I've listened to their integrated amplifiers and I think they have some excellent options. My experiences with Moon started with a DAC and I think the 390 is an excellent item - it's full-featured with a quality DAC/streamer and phono stage house... 
recommended speaker cables and interconnects
I recommend listening- get different cables and try them. I did and was very surprised at the results. I ultimately went with Kimber Kables for interconnects and speaker cables and Shunyata for power because I perceived value.   
Moon 700i vs 400M
@jc51373 New Speakers?   And I like it loud - I used to spend a lot of time around cannons and explosions.  
Moon 700i vs 400M
I own the 400M monoblocks... I have listened to the Moon's 240i, 340i and 600i integrated and the 330A and 400M amps. I specifically selected the monoblocks over the 700i because I listen to music louder than most.  The guidance I was provided ... 
Mcintosh c2600 vs c2700 - any diff in SQ?
I bought a demo C2600 and the dealer stated the primary difference is the DAC - it's modular and the C2700 came with the the newer version. I haven't listened to them back to back; however, I have not experienced any discernable difference betwee... 
Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers?
I can imagine someone upgrading electronics after their initial purchase and having the value of electronics significantly exceed the speakers.    At one point I have Sonus faber Sonetto Vs power by electronics worth 2.5 times the purchase price.... 
Speaker Recommendation Help Please.
I like your layout - I love open concept and the modern touches. And I have a different layout but very large open area with 12'ft ceilings and an additional tray that goes up as well as the stairway going to the ground floor. An area rug and co...
