I need the more better digital
Having listened to most of the gear described above I would highly reccomend the Audio Note DAC5 Special Edition. It is absolutley better than all of the above without even breaking a sweat. The sweating starts when you have to pay for it. But I h... 
Sound Lab A-1 & the Ultimate differences
HI AlbertI did the same only went the low-tech route and used steel washers to span the gap between the cone and the chassis. I like your approach better: better adjustability, but I was in a hurry. What can I say? Have you, by chance, ever had to... 
Best Tube Dac you ve heard
Audio Note Dac 5 with latest transformer upgrade. This Dac is beyond belief. It finally delivers all the promise of digital with the harmonics, delicacy, liquidity and low level resolution of analog. I would put it up against any playback system, ... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
Soundlabs. Pure and simple 
Sound Lab A-1 & the Ultimate differences
The difference is really n the lower octave. Having said that I will add that even the rigid metal frame is not enough to totally contain the energy of the speaker when playing lower bass information. As albert will most likely verify you can impr...

Hi Charles I have been listening to Souondlab U-1's in the near field for several months now and can say that they work extremely well. Fullrange electrstatics, like the Soundlabs are actually exceptional in the nearfiled for a few reasons: 1.) Th... 
Levinson 30.6 or dCS Elgar & Purcell
The elgar/purcell handily beat the Levinson in shear realistic sound they are unique in their ability to bring the experience closer to sounding real. Haven't heard the Accuphase 101/330 which might be competitive with the dCS gear. 
John Lennon
John Lennon was not a saint; he definitly did and said things that I would consider morally questionable. But then so did JFK, Elvis, Mozart,...... the list is endless. We are only human and each of us commits sins and makes mistakes. The point is... 
Best reviewers
For a completely different perspective, one that is not influenced by the amount of advertising dollars paid to his magazine (because he doesn't have one)look up Arthur Salvatore at www.high-endaudio.com Very refreshing and well experienced in aud... 
John Lennon
Just like the day JFK was shot and the day we first landed on the moon I remember exactly where I was that first moment, of disbelief, when I first heard John Lennon was killed. Lord how I miss those days of discovery and wonder; of the 60's as th...
