New Stereophile format
I thought it was very interestin that Art's not-so-hot review of the Audioquest cables caused a 1+ page manufacturer's response in which they politely slam Art and his ability to understand and properly review their product. It must have caught th... 
System Upgrade
I use a Naim Nac 112 with a HiCap power supply and am very pleased with the smooth yet detailed sound. Has a unity gain setting so it integrates easily with a HT processor. 
SACD - Dying already?
I have what I feel is a very revealing system (certainly one of the best audio system of anyone I know personally) and find the SACDs and DVD-As I have to be only slightly better (if at all) than well recorded CDs. I don't have a $5000 player with... 
Snell E/III vs. Snell Type D loudspeakers
What about the B minors? How do they compare to the other models of this era? 
Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
Once again, count me in on any Cincy group activities. I've put together quite a mix of equipment that I think works well together in a combined HT/Stereo system anchored with Thiel CS6s up front. 
Questions about impedance protection selectors
I am workin on a similar set up for my parent's new house. The best I have been able to determine from reading product manuals is that you don't want to combine a speaker selector that has impedance matching with a Wall Selector that has it too. T... 
is the McCormack DNA 1 Deluxe the same as DNA 125?
Fish,I listen to a lot of Dead on my Thiel CS6s driven by a DNA-2 Dlx. The sound is great on the well-done recordings. These are very revealing speakers and to me, the combination gets every last bit of sound out of those recordings while still be... 
Inwall Speaker to match Revel Performa M20 & C30
Thiel or B&W both have in-walls that are superior to the "Home installation" type speakers you typically find contractors putting in. 
Suggestions for a new CD player.
How about the new Rotel. It won Absolute Sound Product of the year and is in your price range. 
Beating a dead horse - Pre with Pass-Thru
I have recently added the Naim NAC 112 with HiCap power supply to my HT system with wonderful results. This is my only Naim piece at this time. I am considering a CD player at some point. For now, I am enjoying the much more refined sound of the s... 
Mixing Naim Pre with Other Amps
Hasn't anyone done this? I was hoping for a little more feedback on this topic. Thanks in advance. 
Mixing Naim Pre with Other Amps
Bora,I see your point but I have plenty of amp channels currently and would like to make the 2-channel sound as good as possible. I think the seperates would be a little better than the integrated.I'm most interested in mixing the Naim with other ... 
Aerial 10T Revisions?
I am curious of your impressions of the Aerials vs. the B-minors. 
Cable Ground Isolator & HD compatibility
http://www.jensen-transformers.com/Go to here. They make ground-loop breakers rated at the higher bandwith that Digital Cable requires for proper signal transfer.I have one on my HDTV and it solved my hum and works without hitch. 
Pioneer 47Ai / Audio Refinement Pre2 DSP help
It will not matter what the processor's sampling rate is if you use the analog inputs from the Pioneer's 6-channel output. The processor will not convert any digital signal in this scenario. You really only need a pre-amp not a processor/pre-amp. ...
