Kharma Midi vs. Sonus Faber Stradivari Amati
Treemed67-My opinion is based on the fact that I live with Anniversario's and were able to listen Strad for days(in lenght-more than one month since good friend of mine owns them). To my ears and for my taste Anni is better then Strad. But, that's...

Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
As you clearly pointed out differences between Strad and Anni is in lower midrange and bass. Both speakers are going to about 25Hz(in room) without any problems. As I said before Strad has more grander presentation but, it has shortcomings in soun... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Downunder, You are probably right... Then again difference between Strad and Anniversario is more question of personal taste, IMO. Downside of large baffle is not so coherent sound and lack of pin point imaginig. Strad is slower sounding then Anni... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, really tough one!Answer is not a simple one... It will very much depend on the rest of the system. Example 1. Audio Aero Prestige is excellent choice(in #2 flavor group) if you do not have enough money for(or simply do not need) preamp. ...

This weekend I auditioned MBL 1531 cd player in both of my systems. Unit was having around 600hours of playing so, break-in was not the issue... 1531 is good sounding #2 flavor player-good bass extension and definition, little bit forward lower mi... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Downunder, I am glad that you like Strad! I like Anniversario even more but, both are emotional champs!Anniversario is more coherent than Strad with more precise and stable soundstage, also faster in bass. Strad has grander scale(a little bit) as ... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Downunder, Are you selling your Mahlers? Cremona is wonderful speaker for the money(most emotional one in that price range, IMO!) but, they are not going that deep in bass as your Mahlers. Kops and Semi both own Cremona's so, they will able to hel... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Downunder, Anniversario's could be driven with CJ Prem140 without any problems. I would say that 80W/ch(tube!!) is a minimum for Anniversario's, SS around 120W/ch. You can find my room size on my system thread. They are revealing and kind to not s... 
Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3
Ginas, I don't understand why are you more confused? In your post you said that you are interested in ARC REF3 or CJ ACT2 and that you will probably move to ARC or CJ amp as well... CJ ACT2 will work nicelly with your DNA500 and you can move later... 
Sonus Faber Musica intergrated amp users feedback
Stay with your setup! Your dealer is probaly trying(very hard) to sell Musica to you... Since Sonus Faber just introduced new Guarneri Memento it will be better to wait and compare your Guarneri with new Memento and upgrade. It makes a lot more se... 
Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3
What is the rest of your system? If you will use single-ended connection to the amp than CJ ACT2 is better choice(ACT2 is inverting phase as all CJ products). On the other hand if you will use balanced(XLR) connection to the amp REF3 is far better...

Fcrowder, I am glad that you liked Esoteric UX-1 player and as Guido said X-01 is better... Also, Shunyata power cords are working excellent with Esoteric players, specially new Anaconda Helix Vx. But, IMO even better results are possible with Acr... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
