Echole vs Argento vs Kubala-Sosna?
Who sells Echole in the US? 
Best Integrated, period.
Dartzeel CTH 8550. Unbelievably good. 
Dartzeel CTH-8550
I've had one for a month now and can positively state that it's an awesome unit replacing and compared to other very expensive US gear. The sound and ergonomics are top of the class. I have a pair of Mini-Exquisites and couldn't be more satisfied ... 
Dartzeel CTH-8550
Nyctc7: How much did WP like it? What measurements did JA not like? Just curious. 
Dartzeel CTH-8550
Well interesting comments but the one by Rossman flies in the face of recent show reports(including CES 2009) where more than one writer identified the system with this integrated driving it as stunning. Who to believe? My guess is that it's a pro... 
Esoteric: firewire vs. aes-ebu connection
I received a long technical e-mail from Esoteric explaining that in every respect dual aes-ebu is preferable. That's good enough for me. I must say that their customer service has been awesome. 
Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios
I'm using the Krell amp with Kharma 3.2's which most people not familiar with the latest Krell would think is a questionable match. It sounds really really good and I've owned an embarrassing amt. of gear over the years to include many big names. ... 
Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios
Well I don't know about Pass and Mac sstate but in my humble opinion regardless of preconcieved ideas lurking around here I think that the latest Krell EVO gear is outstanding. Very smooth and transparent with excellent musicality. I strongly pref... 
Kudos to Audience Customer Service
I also recently had a wonderful experience with the folks at Audience. Unbelievable customer service coupled with the fact that my new AR6t has to be state of the art in power conditioning. I wish all high end companies performed like this one. 
Audience Adept Ar 6T vs SR Power cell
I can speak for the Audience unit. I'm breaking a new one in and right off the bat I find it a unique combination of smoothness and detail. Superb musicality. I also quickly found that it cleans irritating vocal sibilance while not dulling the sou... 
Your thoughts on the Esoteric P05/D05 Combo
I have this setup with the 4k Esoteric clock and I wonder how much better it can get. Very refined and transparent with the lowest digital artifacts that I've experienced. Very impressive gear with no bugs at all. 
which preamp match best with Krell Evo 402 ?
I have an EVO 222 and think it's awesome coming after a ML 326s and an ARC Ref. 3. Do use an upgraded cast cable such as Tara. 
Best sounding Krell ?
Just now seeing this thread I want to comment that my experience with a EVO 222 pre and 302 amp(I own them) connected with a Tara cast cable provides as musical and grainless a sound as I have ever had to include ARC, Dartzeel and MBL all within t... 
What is the best Krell Cast cable?
Tara will make up "The One" with cast connectors. Vastly better than MMF and std. cast cable IMO(have used both).I think that it's a perfect match for Krell whereas I think Nordost based MMF is completely wrong for Krell gear. I don't know that ma... 
Tara Labs RSC Air 1 Speaker Cable
FWIW I have heard that Matt Bond feels that the Air 1 is quite special, possessing a huge % of the zero sound(or lack thereof).
