Plinus vs. Burmester amps
Hi Falconquest,Let me offer you my take. I currently own a Burmester 956mk2. It is the best amp I have ever owned. It combines the best qualities of solid state and tubes. I have never owned the 2 Plinius amps you are considering but did own the P...

Squeezebox Touch not diplaying some music files
Hi Zd542,Thank you for your reply. I do know that I can find the songs on Squeezebox Touch but I have to use the Search function, which means that I have to remember what I am looking for. Pardon my ignorance but how do I re-tag the music files? I... 
Which Burmester amp to choose ?
I have no idea how much of Burmester's output is in Class A as Burmester does not specify this information in the product literature (which is rather sparse). I will say that the Burmester 956 sound seems to embody the best attributes of Class A s... 
Which Burmester amp to choose ?
I have the 956 mk2. This is the final amp I will ever own -- I love it that much. It has plenty of muscle to drive most speakers. I have not heard the 036 personally; it most likely would drive the SF Guarneri just fine. However, I feel that the 9... 
Harbeth M40.1 vs. KEF 205/2 vs. Spendor SP100R2
Hi Garebear,If you are in that price range, my suggestion would be to also consider Devore Orangutan 0/96 (or 0/93 if you want to stay around $8000). These speakers have fantastic dynamics and are drop dead gorgeous to look at. Either of them is w...

Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances?
Hi Guidocorona,Please accept my congratulations on a beautifully written review. How does the Merrill sound differ from your long term favorites--the Rowland 725/625 amps?Thanks! 
Raidho D1 audition
Hi Kiwi,I recently bought a pair of Raidho C1.1 monitors. I know you use Nordost Heimdall (version 2) for interconnects and speaker wire. Have you tried other brands of cables with your Raidho D2 speakers? If so, did you the Heimdall to be signifi... 
Experiences w/ Black Cat Cable loudsp. cables?
I own the Black Cat Neo Morpheus loudspeaker cables. I found their performance to be just excellent in my second system (with Harbeth SHL5 and Joseph Pulsar speakers). Excellent dynamics and deep bass. A big plus is that they are thin & lightw... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Xti16 and Tboooe,Thank you for posting your detailed impressions. The dimensions of the dealer's room is pretty close to my room. I am somewhat discouraged by the fact that Raidho's struggled with fast paced music (especially when compared to SF A... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
Peterayer,I have heard nothing but good things about Evolution Acoustics speakers. My only problem with auditioning them is that without the benefit of a direct comparison with a Raidho or a Magico, I would always wonder if I am missing out on som... 
Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1
A sincere thanks to all the members who have posted their impressions/inputs.To Xti16Thanks for your input on the direct comparison. Do you know if the Raidhos are able to perform their magic with somewhat reasonably priced speakers cables (Nordos...
