BAT VK-53se vs 43se
Hi dweller, yes I did know.  
BAT VK 53SE vs ARC Ref 5SE
Hi richcam, I would have expected the 43se all solid state pre (or did you mean the 33se which is a tube unit) to at least equal the 53se in the low end being all solid state. I am using a 50se with real supertubes and thought the 43se would give ... 
Focal Sopra 3 vs Wilson Audio Sasha W/P (series 1)
My BAT VK-600se is awesome with my Wilson Sasha 1's and I expect it would be with the Focal also. It has seemingly unlimited power and drive that is shocking with a speaker that has the Sasha low wnd extension and dynamics.Good Luck!Bill 
Esoteric D-03 or D-05

BAT VK 600se vs Electrocompaniet Nemo
Thanks for the feedback! Paladin did you ever feel like the Nemo's "needed" tubes in the chain? What preamp were you using when you had them? 
Best Power Cord For Video Projector
Thanks! Hey clearthink, best cord I have tried is a Shunyata Alpha HC which I don't own. What was your experience regardless of price? 
How does the PS Audio Perfectwave Transport Stack up against the Esoteric P-03?
Thanks for the responses! I am thinking that I can get better dynamics and slam with a more substantially built unit like an esoteric but there will be no chance to do an A/B without a purchase. The PS is very satisfying and always delivers the go... 
Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades?
You all rock and I am looking to get to a 12" super platter and a jwm 10" 3 D arm as major upgrades to my tt. Has anyone used isolation bases? HRX feet worth finding? My understanding is the verion for Aries 1 is no longer made. Have a great weeke... 
Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades?
I really appreciate all the input on this thread!! I have done a bit of research and am wondering if my tonearm with the screw-on counterweight arrangement can be modified to accept one of the drop counterweights? I just bought a Dynavector 20x2H ... 
Wywires Platinum much better than H T Crystal Silver for Phono on my VPI Aries 1 ?

Kubala Elation balanced digital cable - Any competition from Wireworld?
Thanks melbguyone!Sounds like I need to just stick with what I have or it is a losing proposition! 
Mark Levinson 326s vs BAT Rex Series 1 preamps
That is what I thought. I have heard that the Bat Rex makes the Levinson stuff sound small and restricted.  
Best Subwoofer Interconnect Cable for powered Wilson Watch Dog
AlmargI never took impedance into account, completely overlooked it! I will check out a single ended cable to compare and hopefully it doesn't introduce any hum. Thanks for the tip! 
Which CD Transport for Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC
Charles1dadI have emailed the High Fidelity site a few times to get some additional info and have never gotten a response. Not sure what is going on there. 
Which CD Transport for Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC
What digital cable do you all recommend? My options are aes/ebu and rca connections if I were to assume the PS Audio PWT as a transport. Charles uses a HF CT-1 Ultimate which I assume is rca to rca?
