UNO speakers
Hi Jimh, I have not heard this speaker. It seems quite controversial. Well respected members Albertporter and Cornfedboy do not believe this to be of highend standards. Try doing a search on them under speakers. I will quote one of my favorite mem... 
Verity's Fidelio vs Coincident's Total Eclipse
Sunnyjim, Listen to a pair of Audio Physics avanti III. IMO it is a much better speaker than the Fidelio's. MUCH better. It seems to work better with SS than do the SE. Although tubes still sound better to me on the Avanti than SS. Remember my opi...

Can the Rowland Concentra II be beat?????
Hi Jpayne, try to add one of the Gryphon integrateds to your list. They have a 100 and 200 watt version. I heard the comparison of the 100 watt Gryphon vs the Concentra ll at my friends store who is a high end audio dealer. We both thought the Gry... 
Best and Worst Reissue/Remaster CDs
The Band. I love their music but the remastered discs are terrible. I was very dissapointed but I listen to it anyway. 
Int-Tude Amp for ProAc1sc?
Hi Jeffery, I don't know what you budget is but the Viva Sentesi 12 watt Integrated SET amp is magical with this speaker.

Opinions about Coincident's Super Eclipse speaker
Hi Sunnyjim, like all high rez speakers the amp and cable are extremely important. I have owned the SE about a year ago. I agree with Emfoods second paragrph. when I owned them I could get them to sound laid back, bright, dark, Heavy, lightweight,... 
Help on power conditioner upgrade
Hello Kira, I agree with Ejlif. The Sound Applications CF-X is the best I have heard. I have not heard the Hydra yet. The CF-X is the only conditioner I have heard that improved the sound in every area. The PS PP did some things well but would sou... 
Best thread poster for 2001?
Rivercitylad, this is a wonderful thread you have started. I didn't want to respond because I know I am going to leave someone off my list as Trelja stated.Cornfedboy, you have given me many laughs. You can be a bit salty but I know you have a hea... 
Which MIT Speaker Cables?
Cornfedboy as usual is right. Or maybe I should say I agree with him 100%. Spectral and MIT is magical. MIT with other electronics I have heard leaves much to be desired. If you take CFB advise you won't be sorry. CFB has been there and so have I.... 
Silverline "Sonatina II" vs. Coincident "Victory"
I respect and look forward to Philefreak's posts but I have to disagree with him. I have heard both and for me the Sonatina II did not have the the magic that the Coincident could produce using the same amp. The illusion of real people playing rea...
