Pass Aleph 5 vs. Boulder 102AE
I like to second the fact the Aleph 05 is an excellent unit,it might not have the deep,deep base as the power giants from Krell or Boulder but it more than makes it up in the purity of the mids and the outstanding soundstaging.With only a two stag... 
Suggestions for a new CD player.
Sony 9000es..a true SACD classic that plays all format DVDs...about $600us used. 
Acoustic Energy AE2...opinions?
dudeaudio how does the orginial AE1 compares to the AE1 signatures?....would you know the blue book value of the orginial AE1?..thanks 
Amazing XRCD I just purchased....
actually the one I got is the 20bit K2 XRCD..has anyone try the 24bit super coding yet?...either way the XRCD is a great medium and IMHO superior to most SACD and HDCD titles at the moment.Anyone can recommend a good acoustic titles in the XRCD fo... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Quads esl 63...Acoustic Energy ae1.. Sonus Faber Cremona..Spcia TC50...actually any speakers that the GFF(girl friend factor)lets you keep in the living room is speaker to hang on for life....Im a ESL junkie!!! but it does not match the drapes.:{ 
Amazing XRCD I just purchased....
Jond the K2 super coding eliminates the base jitters in the digital domain cleaner than other recording levels formats.SACD pressings are a hit and and miss inregards to sonic values but the JVC has a dedicated pressing plant in Yokohama Japan tha... 
Michael Hedges. Fantastic CD......Aerial B.....
Any suggestions for "new age" strings artist?...I totally agree that Windhill recordings are sonically seductive without being saturated.West Germany engineers seems to get the balance right with each separate artist,no cookie cutter production he... 
The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ?
Any SACD recordings that is related to the Police,Doors is the worst transfers I've ever heard.Great groups but the A/D is so bad its so unlistenable...Have anyone listen to Stings recent recordings?..boy I guess we know who the real force before ... 
Magnepan MMG........amazing
Tireguy Im going to tap a few holes into the existing brace and use spikes,Im damn cheap and proud of it..:> thanks for the thread....... 
Magnepan MMG........amazing
Where can you get the spikes stands for these speakers?..I dont like the fact the whole rear brace is sitting on the hardwood floor,rather have it spiked or isolated from the floor.... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I second the Quad ESL 63...NO sub woofers can keep up with these speakers,the seaming is just to ignoring so keep the panels pure...the 989 is more balance but not as transparent as the older 63's..... 
Magnepan MMG
Ok this baby now sounds terrific,everything I expected,still abit shallow(probably room placement) but the highs are extended and mids have that magical bloom,the edgeness is gone and now its sounds "natural".It took about 90-100 hours of serious ... 
Magnepan MMG
Right now the mids seems to be a tad restricted and the highs abit bright,somewhat shallow on the depth.I know MMG sounds alot better than this,my usuage is only about 14 hours so its basically still has alot of breaking in to do...thanks for all ...

Would playing Britney and Timerlake "tenderize" the speakers faster..LOL thanks for the suggestion,Im already have these speakers on the FM channel playing about 6 hours a day.... 
Tube Preamp with PS Audio P300
Im running a Audio Research sp9 tube preamp and its sounds fantastic with the P300...there is so much "black magic" audiophile garbage items around its great to find a "regenerator" that actually perform with such stunning improvements that any ne...
