Meridian, Ayre, Musical Fidelity, Ayon, Lector $2k
I'm listening to a demo CX-7eMP as I write this. The only limitations are my monitor speakers which are no fault of the speakers. Monitors are monitors and although they get down to 32hz, the limitation on the bottom end is palpable. I can not wai... 
The best CD Player for the money
Mtkhl567 and Tvad, Alex P is in hiding w/Andy Hefly somewhere in the Czech Replublic. I think Andy is the only person who can get my Audio Alchemy amp to work! 
Lector 7T MK3, is it really that great?
The MK4 is coming out soon. Why not wait?Two things:1) Current inventory will need to be sharply reduced, so you'll get a better price2) Lector has an interesting customer service definitionBest of luck.Regards,Mark 
Ayre C5xe Owners w/MP Upgrade-digital out problem?
Khrys,Though I've not listened to any Boulder equipment, from what I read (no flaming plz) Boulder makes outstanding equipment. The 1012 sells for $19k new and $9500 used.So, if you're writing that the Ayre DAC may be as good as the DAC in your 10... 
MHZS 66F vs 88F CD players
And there are people who are cured by snake oil. Come on people. The fact the company marketed the DAC as "customized" was more than enough for me. Why reward negative behavior?Buyer beware. 
MHZS CD99 CD player
From what I read,a lot of hype. Someone pulled back the curtain on this unit.Go with the Doge6 if you're looking for a giant killer in that price range. 
No frills CD player for tube amp
The Doge6 is a no brainer. A giant killer for the price. 
PLEASE HELP ASL Hurricane Blew Up? No Jokes Plz
I'm taking it into a local tech for help. After reading throuh several threads (should have looked there first...sorry), I believe a cap blew when the fuse blew.I looked for an internal fuse, but I couldn't find one and the external fuse is fine. ... 
EAR Acute or the Oracle 1500 CDP?
I haven't heard any of these. My current CDP is the Audio Aero Prima II.I just bought the Doge 6 off Agon for $1k.My path WOULD have been almost exactly yours, substituting the Lector 7T for the Opera Consonance, but I don't have the budget for on... 
MHZS 88E comparisons?
Why don't you look at the Doge 6 CDP? Also a Chinese manufactured single box CDP. Not that I have anything against the MHZS, but their descriptions could border on being deceptive.The Doge 6 (street price $1400) is a significantly better design IM... 
EAR Acute or the Oracle 1500 CDP?
I, for one, would GREATLY appreciate your review of each of the CDP's you auditioned becuase I'm in the market for a new CDP and each of the units you heard are on the top of my list.Thanks,Mark 
Atma-Sphere with which speaker cables?
Trelja,Which Atma-Sphere amps do you have? I just purchased a pair of used Hurricanes.I also have the Canary CA-903 4-chassis linestage, Audio Aero Prima (new 2006 version) and Coincident Super Eclipse III speakers.I'd like to get your opinion, or... 
canary audio cd 100 better than bluenote koala?
I'm a Canary owner. Though the quality of the components are very good, their shady way of doing business and poor customer service would steer me clear of the company.I've been contacted by their attorney for a dispute between us. Several times I... 
Canary CA-301MKII or Roque Tempest II
I just received two CA-301 MKII amps that were supposed to be configured as monoblocks by Canary. They didn't do it. I also just received the CA-903 pre-amp.I will say their customer service is an absolute nightmare. I've had nothing but problems ... 
DK Design Review
I wouldn't pay $6k for an integrated amp regardless of who made it. There are some separate used monoblocks that I would pay $6k for, but then I'd have to upgrade everything in my system from PC/IC/speaker cables, Preamp, Front End, speakers and r...
