Little Feat always does it for me 
Lyra Kleos or EMT TSD 15 for Rega P9
I can confirm that the Delos works great on a P9 so the Kleos likely would as well. 
Metrum Octave single ended output
I would say it depends on what other gear you have. If say, you have Ayre which is designed to run balanced it's a dealbreaker. If you have any sort of british gear -NAD, Rega, Cyrus, Roksan, Creek etc it's not as most of that equipment is designe... 
lfd grainless interconnects
I have an NCSE and a pair of Kudos C30's and the Grainless were just the ticket. I was running Acoustic Zen Silver Ref II interconnects and Hologram II speaker cables and I changed them out for the Grainless/Grainfree combo and I couldn't be happi... 
Anyone tried the Metrum Hex DAC?
Talked to the guy from Montreal who beings this product into Canada at the TAVES show over the weekend, he said the first pieces will be coming in a few weeks but he had not heard it yet.Would love to know how it compares to the Octave and how muc... 
Solid State Amplification for Devore Nines?
LFD would likely do the trick for you. 
R.E.M. - "Automatic for the People"
Bought my copy at a record shop in Canada some time ago--doesn't say where it was pressed but I assume it's an American copy. Sound is fantastic, among the best of what I have and a good one to put on if you want to impress your friends.I can chec... 
Sutherland 2020 vs Parasound jc 3
I have a JC3 with a few hundred hours on it, the sound is definitely more fleshed out versus new but it's also fair to say that it is very neutral overall, not warm and romantic sounding by any means.The bottom end on the JC3 is the best I've hear... 
Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod
Loving the Metrum, I'm sure you can do better by spending a lot more but it's killer for the cash. Best digital I've had in my system by quite a bit, really quite smooth(after running in) but punchy and detailed as well. It strikes a good balance ... 
Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod
Very cool, thanks a lot. If anyone is looking for a sample to try out there is one on the Linn records site:http://www.linnrecords.com/linn-downloads-testfiles.aspx I was curious if my Metrum DAC would accept a 24/192 signal, when I tried the test... 
Great Cables ... That Get Little Attention
LFD would have to fall into that category for sure-despite all of the buzz over their integrated amps it's almost impossible to find their cables in North America, let alone talk to someone who has heard them. My understanding is that not only is ... 
Metrum Octave First Impressions
You will find that it changes quite a bit over time, it is very punchy and visceral out of the box but it becomes a lot smoother over time.Still very dynamic and musical but the character definitely changes.I would give it a good few weeks before ... 
Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch
VERY happy SB Touch->Metrum Octave user here, I was sleepless for a couple of nights before I received my DAC thinking that I might need an interface box but when I got everything going it worked so well I decided to leave it as is. It would be... 
Hi End Audio stores in Toronto
Planet Of Sound on Queen St. East would be worth checking out, they have quite a few lines that you might not see as much--Audiolab, Heed, Harbeth, Kuzma etc. Pretty sure their website is www.planetofsound.com
