Thoughts on mating ML ESL 11 A's to a butler TDB 2250 hybrid amp
Dep14 we were Butler dealers and we had the Monads as well.We didn't find the lower end solid state amps to sound particularlary good they were average sounding amps, at best. The proof is where the company is in the market which is no where.It is... 
NAD M10 Streaming Amplifier
Sfseay,The NAD M10 is but one of the new lifestyle audio products that can replace a giant stack of components and in some cases outperform them or equal them or come somewhat close.We sell the NAD M10 as well as the Naim Uniti products and the Mi... 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
The newer table is a complete redesign or the RP8 and is based more along the lines of Roy Gandys $40k uber table design.The concepts are the same the implementation is better with the P8 so it takes all the same qualities of the P8 and extend it.... 
Thoughts on mating ML ESL 11 A's to a butler TDB 2250 hybrid amp
Pvmike we used to sell the Butler amplifiers, they were a cool concept amp but sonically were not magical. The Parasound is good you should really  save up a bit more and go for a higher class of amplifier with those excellent loudspeakers.What is... 
Aurender vs. Roon
Fza your post seems rather malicious, this video has been proven to be bunk  and has been discussed before. The video has also been discredited as a smear campaign by a guy who discredits much of the industry, The same guy who rails against profit... 
diablo 300 vs arc ref 5se + pass labs 350.5 - anyone has opinions to share
That is going to be a tough one to answer, as the sound quality of separates will also depend on the quality of the interconnects and the two power cords One main point would be having a tube preamplifier which generally produces a wider and deepe... 
Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality
Do you Geoffkait or Twinkle or Liamowen do you have opinions on the post about specifically what the reviewer heard and what you guys heard if you went to the show? Did all three of you go to the show? Discuss this topic and this  topic only 
Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality
Read the post, do you agree or disagree with the choices he made 
Why is the high end stratospheric?
There are two ways of looking at this yes, we have seen certain products that were artificially over priced to generate interest the original Kharma loudspeakers were priced at $10k retail and the importer jumped the price to $20k a pair to make t... 
Axpona reviewers perceptions and reality
Really Liamowen, what are we trying to "sell" you? As per incoherent or full of grammatical errors, really who cares?Either the post is interesting or relevant or it is not. You mistake the ability to type and see what you are writing with relevan... 
Canadian Preamp+DAC+Streamer Faceoff
Yystantabarbara, the Coda amp will get you pretty close to the next level amp be it a T+A or a Luxman.We would recommend the Innous Zenith + Anthem STR+ Coda .8 for the money you will not find a better sounding combo nor one with a good built in d... 
Canadian Preamp+DAC+Streamer Faceoff
Yystantabarbera we sell the NAD and the Anthem products.A viable solution is the Anthem STR preamp coupled with a really good solid state amplifier.The Anthem STR we feel is a bit less colored sounding then the NAD products, add a Coda .8 amp and ... 
Bookself speaker for Luxman 590 axII
Mizioa, congrats on the Luxman very nice amp, is your question would a more modern set of bookshelf or monitor speakers be better?The Ensemble monitors were fantastic loudspeakers and would only suffer in the comparison to a modern loudspeaker in ... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1up vs Primare cd35 (OLD vs NEW)
Hard call the  CD drive mechanism on the Electro is really top of the line think it is the legendary CDM 9 Pro drive from Philips coupled to a very serious floating CD sub assembly.So for pure CD playback the Electro should be better, the Primare ... 
Anthem STR Int or Benchmark AHB2 + Preamp
Bearwarrior we are an Anthem dealer so we are going to be a bit biased.Personally we don’t feel this is a fair comparison as the Benchmark amp is $3,000.00 and a good preamp is also going to be around $3k vs a $4,500.00 integrated.Also you are get...
