Power Conditioner or Power Strip
I am selling an ESP power distributor for around $500. It retails for $1000. A power strip will filter out noise, which is heard as tizz and harshness, and give you a quiet background. A power filter does similar things and may improve your sound ... 
preamp for classe ca-200
I heard the VTL model that sells for $3500 new, with the CA151 and Aerial 6s. It was an amazing combo. To me, it was better than the BAT and AR. 
Preamp or Not to Preamp?
I have tried a Wadia 830 directly intu\o Classe and Krell amps. I did not like it. The air and dynamics were missing. It also sounded harsh and aggressive. With a good preamp, such as the Classe CP50, the sound is much better.

Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout
My info about settings above relates to my Wadia 830. 
Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout
I want to add that Wadias method of setting voltage is that the correct voltage when going direct, is that seven LEDs should be lit when you are listening at normal levels. There are stetting for each voltage. 
Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout
First off, the 2 volt setting is with the #2 switches in the off or flipped (from factory setting) position. I found I had to do this with my Classe PREAMP in order to match the voltage and use volume levels above 12, which is low, and as it state... 
advice for integrated amp
I owned the Bryston B60 and loved it. I would not match it with Joseph Audios though. I tried it with the RM22s and hated the combination. It was great with Meadowlark Kestrels though. 
Classe Cap 151 vs Krell Kav 300i
I have the Krell 300i. It is a great amp. I heard it with the Grand Pianos and it was a great match. For the price, about $1500 used, in the right system, you can't beat it. It is truely a high end piece of equipment and requires system matching. ...

Naim 3.5 vs Wadia 830...or wait?
I recently bought a used Wadia 830. I think it is a great cd player. I previousely had an Adcom GCD750. While the Adcom is a steal for $750 used, The Wadia is more transparent, musical and natural. I would recommend it to anyone looking in $2000 r...
