Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr
Big difference or small? 
Extremely High-End "Pre-Pro" Surround Pre-Amp
Well I just bought a Classe SSP800 and would have to say that I am not disappointed with it's resolution on two channel sources and some multi channel software has been spectacular. I have always had high end gear and feel that Classe fits in the ... 
Yamaha BD A1000 blu ray player. Any users?
Kr4 Saw the review which has my interest up but don't get a feel for the ergonomics of the two units. I personally like a quiet transport in operation. Any difference between the two on this? Overall build quality? 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
Decided on Classe. Can't find a negative word about Classe anywhere. 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
The "preview" screen on the Classe puts it over the top for me. Won't need a TV to navigate software menus. My goal is for hi rez multi channel audio and enhanced stereo. 
Classe SSP 800 question. Please help.
Thanks Kr4. Two questions. Is the small display's clarity decent? Where to find your review? If SPhile, which issue? Thanks. 
SACD via HDMI on Oppo BDP95?
I am sure that Kr4 is correct. Not gonna get true sacd from any high end processor and that's a shame. 
SACD via HDMI on Oppo BDP95?
If the Classe and Krell don't accept the dsd data, what happens? Kr4 is correct about the two units not staying in dsd but you do get sound don't you? 
Classe SSP 800 vs. Krell S-1200
I was hopeful for some insights. Difficult to know which will ultimately be the most satisfying to a traditional two channel audiophiles.I was expecting to hear that the Krell is bright and the Classe dark etc.

Come on guys. Which sounds better? Video secondary to me. 
Choices for multi ch digital transport-Oppo best?
Didn't realize it was 10k. For my purposes unless it's hdmi output is in some way vastly superior to oppo or the yamaha player other it doesn't make much sense except for pride of ownership. 
Choices for multi ch digital transport-Oppo best?
Kr4: Does the Ayre output DSD? Just saw your review on the Yamaha unit which definitely outputs DSD which I really want. Glad I saw your review. There doesn't seem to be many units that won't downconvert the SACD datastream. 
Krell S1200- Among the best sounding processors?
Kr4. I truly have no bias and want opinions to help in deciding. My legit source carries B&W and hence could carry Classe but simply said that it wasn't competitive sonically to the Krell gear. I have no idea and can imagine some dealer bias a... 
Best surround speakers for music?
Krell sub. Bass mgt from a Krell S1200 processor. 
Esoteric K-01
A question to throw out there. Does the K-01 sound equal rca vs. xlr or has anyone made the comparison. I have heard from a reliable source that rcas were used in the voicing of the unit which seems a bit odd to me given that much is made by esote...
