Hegel H300 vs Naim Supernait 2 vs Modwright KWI200
Zd542,Sounds excellent to my ears in my room with my system. As far as I know, Musical Fidelity products are designed in the UK, built in Taiwan, and QC/QA takes place again in the UK. MF products have been produced like this for decades.Honestly ...

My recently acquired Musical Fidelity M6Si is an impressive sounding integrated as well! Can be had for under $3,000 too!

Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos
I second Bpoletti's Herron VTPH-1mc recommendation. Call Keith Herron and see what he can offer you. Bonus is he's a great guy to speaker with. 
Luxman 505UX vs. Luxman 550AX Integrated Amps

Best Rock Album of 2014
Neal,I will check out the Real Estate album for sure. I've been a Waterboys fan since I saw them open for U2 at the Aragon Ballroom back in 1984. I also like World Party a lot. That's Karl Wallinger's band after he left The Waterboys.

Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade
Guido,Thanks for the informative response.I am particularly mindful of the sophisticated power supply in the Continuum S2 and I'm wondering if a power cord that offers too much power filtering of sorts, would kill the dynamics and neutrality that ...

Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade
Guidocorona,If I may, I was interested in your thoughts on power cords for the Rowland gear you own (and have owned). I have a Continuum S2 that I'm really digging and I am interested in what power cords you have used.Thanks,Tim
