Hooking up Pass Labs X600 mono's to B&W 801's
You can either do a shot gun set which is two cables at the speaker end or 2 completely separate pairs either way works just as well. I would be more concerned with the quality of the cabling. Also The BAT CD player although a very good player is ... 
Krell CD Player.....Please Help
Perhaps it is a golden time to abandon spinning cds and to embrace streaming. A good dac with either a high quality computer setup or a streamer will offer far better sound then your old and out of date Krell CD player. 
Primare BD 32
I have one fantastic universal player, the only thing in it from Oppo is the drive thats it. If you google images of the player you will see 4-5 large circuit boards which are all Primares, unlike many other modified Oppo's there is almost nothing... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
Where there is smoke there is often fire. We had a very prominent reviewer compare the PS with our similarly priced Aqua Hifi La Scala Dac which is an $8k dac and he was bowled over by how much better the Aqua sounded. Is is any wonder PS gets suc...

Paradigm Studio vs Prestige
I work for a Paradigm dealer, and the new Prestige series is a dramatic improvement over the older Studio Series.The Prestige offer a much higher degree of resolution, the F95 have thunderous bass and the sound stage is much wider. If you can do a... 
Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3?
Update on our demo pair which are really starting to sing.The shops owner has been breaking the speakers in every day since they first came in and boy have they gotten even better.We are both blown away the T3 is a completely different animal from... 
Auralic Aries - Does it work with any DAC?
I work for an auralic dealer and yes it will work with many dacs over usb it doesnt work with all dacs over usb. Spdif works 100 percent 
Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3?
We just got our demo pair of T3 in to the shop and I have to agree with the other posters, for the money they are amazing speakers,We compared the T3 to the Syn One we just took a pair back in trade and the difference is huge. The Mc eq will make ... 
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre?
Cstoner, again your methodology is flawed, unless you have an Ayre in the exact same system and all you do is switch out the amp then, and only then, you will know if you like that amp better in that system, with that particular brand of ancillary... 
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre?
Cstooner what other brands of solid state amps have you heard and in direct comparison to Ayre?The Ayre amps are indeed very good amps, but so are a lot of other top solid state designs from BAT, Electrocompaniet, Pass Labs, and many, many others.... 
Rockport Avior or Magico S5
I looked over your system and quite frankly I wouldn't sell the Verities so quickly. I would look at upgrading the electronics and getting a unified set of cables. Also the PS power conditioners can be improved upon, and you have no room tuning. C... 
Vandersteen 5a Carbons
Very interesting post Ctsonner, Sorry to disagree, the Vandersteen Carbons still sound like someone threw a blanket over the top end. If you like brass instruments to sound lifeless then yes these are the greatest speakers in the world. Yes Vandys... 
What better to power my 82db Magico Q5
Is the reason you want to change the amps is that you are not happy with the sound? Perhaps you are blaming the amps when it might be the speakers?I have heard the Magico's at Goodwins and Overature, and I have never been impressed with them. Yes ... 
Devialet 400 dual-mono, opinions anyone?
We have them on display. Remarkable dynamics, super tight bass, remarkably quiet, no noise at all, huge sound stage, slightly warm. With the right speakers very hard to beat for twice the price.
