BAT VK60 experience?
It will sound OK at low volumes but the old matrix 803 series like a high curret amp with more watts.Happy Listening. 
Speaker Recomendation
Paul,you mention nothing about what type of sound you prefer or what type of music you prefer. That would be recommending a Nissan Z and you prefer a 4 door sedan for the family.There is no perfect component out there, they just have different sou... 
Review: Shanling SCD-T200 w/ EA Turbomod CD Player
My friend had his modified by Chris Johnson and had about $4K of parts put into the unit. Same result with the SS and tube output. It was extremely good but I never thought that it better the really high buck CDPs that you mention. Overall is was ...

Postal Money Order versus Bank Money Order ???
Same, both are as good as cash. 
Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius?
My son loves singing along to them also, he is now eight, I think it is just simple melody that he can sing along to that keeps him going.Happy Listening 
Rowland 302 V. Krell 700CX
The new Krells 450 and 750 monos break away from the typical Krell sound, in fact they are one of the most musical amps that I have heard versus JC-1s, Marsh, Bryston, Sim mono blocks. But they are $$$$$$.Audition a pair and see what I mean.Happy ... 
Quicksilver V4 amps
You responded to my post a while back on tube amps and it looks like the Quicksilvers are the way to go from your post. I see you may have the Meadowlark nighthawks I heard them and really liked them. Any way are you using the Quick amps on them? ...

Check out Silverline Audio, Coincident and Buggtussel speaker lines.Happy Listening 
Pass Labs X1 vs. X2.5
No Keithr is correct, the Pass gear is not "tube like" the X-250 offers a "golden glow" or softer sound in the mids to offer a more tube like sound as do many SS amps that are trying not to sound like SS. That does not mean the amp or preamp is no... 
Stereo Tube Amp Comparisons
Thanks to everyone who responded. After posting this question in several different forms for the past three months, this was the most detailed reponse that I have received. It is greatly appreciated too. I know that there is nothing perfect out th... 
Short list of transports under $3k...?
Plenty of excellent CEC transports now listed on Agon. Read some threads on them.Happy Listening. 
Wadia 861, Levinson 390S, or EMC1MKII
To my ears, I preferred the sonics of the Wadia 861 to the Electrocompaniet DAC. The DAC throws a huge sounstage and has great bass but did not sound as real in the vocals as the Wadia. It was close and I could live with either one. For transports... 
Wadia 861
The Waida in my system bettered the Resolution Audio Opus 21 with a black mamba power cord, and the Accuphase DP-77. I think this is the best Wadia one box player. It was more refined than the Opus with a blacker back round, smoother sound, great ... 
Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens?
Pshchicanimal,I am not following you completely. I have bybees in the Talon Raven C speakers so I know what they do. The Foundation Research cords have AC filters built into them (big box to filter the sound in the middle of each cord) this the LC...
