In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music
Just found this out and i'm in shock. I was thinking of selling my VSM MXM so I sent him an email yesterday and the email bounced back. Thinking nothing of it, I logged onto the site and saw the headline.I can't say that we were 'friends' but we h...

Great review. Thanks.I'm going to try the AR-910 in my system. Bryston BDP2 to Lampizator to Ars Sonum Fila to Merlin VSM Masters. 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
I experienced some sort of fatigue today but I don't think it was listener fatigue.Ive been building my system up incrementally. Today I finally got my new DAC and the change was enormous. It think I was so emotionally connected to the music and p... 
Equitech Son of Q vs. BPT
Just what I came over here to ask. Great Question.Im looking at the BPT 1 which has up to 8amps or the Son of Q 2RE which has 10 amp. the Son of Q 1RE only has 5amp so I am not sure that is enough.But the price difference between the two is about ...

Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5
Well I just ordered a Lampi 3 but with a few upgraded components so it should be close to the 4.I will also be able to get a home audition on the Femto soon so I can do a comparison. Will keep you posted.

German "plug and play" turntable
Thanks. I dont want the phono to be the weak link. Sounds like the ClearAudio Mc plus Basic+ would give me a pretty decent "starter" TT setup.They do have an option of the Basic+ for an outboard battery supply. Wonder if that's a worthy upgrade? 
German "plug and play" turntable
Yup, that's the one. Trying to decide which cart would work best with my Merlin Masters and Ars Sonum Fila. MM or MC? 
Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5
No, where I am located it is hard to audition. The reviewer over at Stereo Mojo has the same speakers, amp, source and cable I am getting so I am pretty confident.Made in Korea, SS.Build quality is supposed to be top notch for the Femto. 40lbs for... 
Ayon Skylla II vs Lampizator 4 or 5
I am in the market for a DAC and the Lampi was on my list. The way the sound was explained to me by a reviewer was "The Lampizator is a good choice if you like tube sound (sweeter treble, more textured midrange but diminished dynamics and less bas... 
Budget of $30K. Help me build a system
Thanks all, you advice has been helpful in seeing other point of views.Clio09, what you suggest is basically where my mindset has gone. Hold out on room treatments and power conditioner for now. A good point regarding cables. I think I might consi... 
Budget of $30K. Help me build a system
Newbee - Valid point. It is a concern. And it gets worse. The ceiling is slanted 10' which slants to 6.5' on the long wall.But it is the only room I have ant the moment. I have been working with GIK Acoustics to come up with a strategy. 2 sofit tr...

Ejlif - First, thanks all for the reply.I live in Europe and have not been able to find a good marketplace for used high-end equipment. Buying used from Audigon doesn't seem like an option due to high shipping costs, people not willing to ship glo... 
Decent entry level turntable?
Thanks all, I went with the Rega RP1. Living in France my options were quite limited and so was my budget.
