I will order Anniversario in few days. More when they arrive at my home( app. 1 month ).Also, I heard from my Sonus Faber dealer that NEW GUARNERI MEMENTO will be introduced at CES2006 ( in Europe maybe even before new year ). Cabinet size more or... 
anyone know about the teac esoteric UX-03?
Esoteric UX-03 US retail is $8200. It has firewire/iLink connection. Drive is simplified version of VRDS-NEO used on UX-01. Video processing is not as good as UX-01.I heard that it is not good as X-01/X-03 on CD/SACD and on DVD-V/DVD-A not as good... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Great thread, Teejay! I generally agree with your findings.Since I never had a chance to audition EmmLabs combo in my system( only at audio show ) I will imagine that it is as good as people say. On the other hand I have excellent experience with ... 
Boulder monoblocks
I agree with Rcprince. Lamm M1.2 is a fine amp. Back to Boulder, 2050( 1000w/ch mono ) is $71K/p new in US. Just to let you know. For me these are the best solid state amps availabile, maybe new Krell Evolution One will be an alternative? Stereo 2... 
accuphase vs dartzeel
Hi Chris, i auditioned Accuphase A50V/C290V combo with Sonus Faber Amati Hommage and ARC VT200MkII/REF2MkII combo was better in every respect except bass control( even in that regard differences were small ). But, this is my personal taste.Hooper ...

Best 10K Speaker
Room size? This will be most important issue. If your room is not big enough fullrange speaker will overblown it.I second Kops and Raquel, both used Amati Hommage and Mahler are good choices...Krell Resolution 1 is also good choice($12000/p)but yo... 
Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario?
My friend from Italy had last week oportunity to audition new Amati Anniversario in his home and to compare it to his Amati Hommage. His findings: Amati Anniversario is different and better sounding speaker. Tighter bass, midrange to die for, more... 
Difficult Choice
Avantgarde or Acapella? Do you like horn sound? To me at least they sound very different than good cone speakers(Aerial,Avalon,Audio Physic,ProAc,Sonus Faber,Wilson,Kharma etc.)...ProAc Response D80 or bigger D100 will work with your Lamm as well ...

ARC literature says:"The CD7 is a Reference Level model to complement the CD3MKII with an even higher performance. Incorporating the strongest aspects of the CD3MKII - its rugged construction, the Philips Pro2 laser mechanism, the Crystal 24 bit D... 
Audio Research Reference CD-7
I think ARC used Reference CD-7 name because there is seven 6H30 triodes inside( more on www.arcdb.ws ). But, i agree name is not very original... Since it is using many things from REF3 preamp i am very interested to audition it as soon as it get...
