Boulder monoblocks
Worldcat, this is only your personal opinion... I would allways choose Boulder,Krell or Lamm over Theta amps.I tried Theta Enterprise/GenVIII/Compli combo with Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario's and sound was...well, not very good. Finally I bought ...

Teajay, price of new Accustic Arts Player1MkII(24/192) is $7700-check on http://www.aaudioimports.com/ New price is IMO little bit to high... Price of DAC1Mk3 is $6K and Drive1 is $5.5K so, I would definitely go for this combo over Player1MkII, de...

Kops, more on new Audio Research Reference CD7 in few weeks... Exlibris, regarding the future of digital audio-I belive that something else rather than hard-drives will replace cd transports. But, I will stop here because this thread is about RBCD... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
I share Teajay's interest in Audiomat Reference dac and I would like to know if anyone have a experience with Metronome C2A Signature DAC? Metronome Kalista Reference is also something that I would like to audition(together with C2A Signature), th... 
Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber
Kjgp, If you go for Guarneri's Homage you should negotiate price really hard... New Guarneri Memento will be released on CES2006 and few weeks after that it will be in showrooms(at least, here in Europe..). I am not saying that Guarneri's Homage a... 
Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber
Probably Cremona's, as I said before new Guarneri Memento will be released soon... Are you using same room that you mentioned in your previous thread? If so, Cremona might be too big for it... Also, your Jadis JA30 will not have enough power to dr... 
Krell Full Power Balanced FPB X vs. Rowland
My best friend own same Krell Resolution 1 speakers as you do. At the dealers advice he tried Jeff Rowland Model 501/Concerto pre combo... We listen to Pink Floyd's 'Pulse' live album at high level when amps went off. We looked each other, disconn...

Teajay, after reading your post about Martin De Wulf's comments regarding Weiss Medea I was almost reluctant to write any comment. But, here we are so: 1) His findings could be the result of using 'high' output level switch-it maybe overloaded his... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
Just received my Amati Anniversario's. More comments in two week time(break-in issue)... 
Redbook Comparison Esoteric and Reimyo
Esoteric UX-1 and X-01 are not the same players and they are not, IMO sounding the same. X-01 is better than UX-01 in RBCDP. Also, all Esoteric gear that I auditioned in my system( I own DV50s and tried D-70vu/P-70vu and D-01/P-01/G-0s combos) sou...

Exlibris-You really should audition CDSD, it may be the only ticket to get the sound that you wished for. Regarding problems that you have with AES/EBU connection with CEC TL-51x it is a proof that DCC2 is picky about transports that are used with...

Exlibris, I am glad that we could help... Your specific problem is not unique-it remined me to the sound of dCS P8i player(thin and sometimes too tight in the bass). I am not saying that you should give up from your EMMLabs DCC2-far from it. CDSD ... 
Prima Luna amp or preamp best speaker -Help
Just wait a little bit longer! Prima Luna has just introduced mono tube amps called SIX(EL34s,70w/ch) and SEVEN(KT88s,72w/ch) and they will be on USA market in one month or so. Normal stereo models FOUR and FIVE are to weak for your Avalon's. Look...

BTW, there is preview of CEC TL-0x on 6moons web page. This preview is.... well, read it anyway. Other news is that CEC will probably have new version of either TL-1 or TL-2 at the beginning of 2006. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, I never audition EMMLabs DCC2 or Accustic Arts DAC I Mk3(Teajay could help here...) in my system. I am currently breaking-in Accustic Arts Player1 for my friend and it is very liquid sounding player but, with PRAT and nice bottom end! DA...
