Your last concert was to see who and when?
Norman Brown, October 13, 2023. I'm so happy that San Antonio has a new Jazz Venue. The Buena Vista Theater is an absolutely outstanding venue for Jazz.  
HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?
I thought the Monitor Audio PL500 II would be my last speakers, but I'm looking into TAD and Vivid Audio as possible replacements.  
Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs
In my opinion all DACs don't sound the same. In my experience there are tonal, soundstage, and differences in how bass sounds.  
Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs
I've owned several DACs, including the JR Aeries. The only way to know is to compare it to current DACs, preferably in your system. I can tell you anything, but it only applies to my system, with my ears. As I grow in this hobby, I came to the rea... 
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
Yes, unless I hit the lottery.

Jeff rowland new amplifier 555
I have Jeff Rowland M735 mono-amps. They are special to me, because I prefer them to other amplifiers that I’ve compared them to. Audio is personal and my preference has nothing to do with what you’ll prefer. You may not like Jeff Rowland, but the...

Ozzy, Who are you to tell Calvin what or how to post? What happened on WHATSBESTFORUM with you? No one is perfect, including you!   
HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?
I've known Calvin for several years...I've met his family and he was nice enough to take my wife and I to dinner on his dime. Calvin is a honest person, but it's easy to post stuff on forums without truly knowing the person you're trying to dispar...

Some people need to grow up.  
any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?
ronboco, He kept the Technics because he preferred the sound. I’ve listened to Boulder several times and I prefer a different sound. It doesn’t matter what my friend or I prefer. He made his choice based on listening to both in his system. I’m ha... 
any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?
My friend directly compared the Technics SU-R1000 to the Boulder 866. He sold the Boulder 866.  I've listened to the Rotel Michi Integrated amplifier and their mono-amps. In my opinion they're both mediocre. Gryphon sounds very good, but after a...

Centers - Go big or go home
I agree...I just went from a Monitor Audio Gold C250 to a Monitor Audio PLC350 II. Although both are 3-way center channel speakers, the dialog is clearer and the overall sound is fuller.
