Stealth v.s. MIT v.s. Virtual Dynamics
Mr Mmitch7711you set us up!I know you will love the new Master 3.0 and will be in for a major improvement across the board.I would not even worry about the updating for at least 10000hrs.If you want a secret then go with the Master LE,it is better... 
Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
Come on you guys,my wife is taking a nursing course and says that 40(me) is the next (20) and that 60 is the next(40)!!So that means you guys are only 40ish for what it is worth.I would like the chance to heft that behemoth around my place,I reall...

Essentialaudio,I stand corrected.Audiofeil I thought that excitement made you feel like a kid again?Apparently' it is a musical monster that has a musical heart.I am jealous of you poor on order guys and please let us know where the beast stands i... 
Stealth v.s. MIT v.s. Virtual Dynamics
Mr.Mitch7711,it would be nice to know which cables you are referring to?If you are referring to the VD Genesis,then the contest is over before the party even started!Please remember that it isn't polite to compare a solid core conductor cable to a... 
Kubala Sosna and Virtual Dynamics - Similar??
Teck5,please remember that these cables do take a number of hours before one's system is able to resettle and relax.I find that 400 hrs is the minimum beofore you can form a opinion on what the cables are doing.You will be able to tell that the VD... 
Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
I have the weight of the player wrong,the player doesn't weigh 93lbs but comes in at a paltry 63lbs.Also the player has been put up against some pretty tough competition (Emm labs,essoteric,reimyo,) and has bested them all.The best part about the ... 
Lamm M2.1 monoblocks driving Thiel 7.2?
I was refering to the all tube design which put out 18watts.I think that hybrids may do the job depending on wattage,although it would seem like you are trying to get a flavour from both of the worlds,while not achieving the true benefit of a pure... 
Quad 2905 versus Quad 2805 plus subwoofer
i would go with the 2905 rather than disturbing the phase of the signal as Sunnyboy mentioned.If you have a really big room then the subs maybe necessary for full impact.The 2905 is supossed to be very very good in the bass as a stand alone speake... 
Transparency: What speakers have it in spades?
Hesson 11 a truly neutral and open speaker is one that is time domain correct.Any speaker that deviates from TDC is flawed,they may sound good but do so at a cost to the original musical signal.If you want good open sound then look for the design ... 
Lamm M2.1 monoblocks driving Thiel 7.2?
I heard a pair of Lamn's driving a Wilson Grand Slam and it was missing the slam.This speaker (has some big time driver phase issues) is supposedly 95db efficient ( with a 2 ohm load)and the Lamn's were MIA.I think that tubes work well with a appr... 
Best nearfield monitor?
Try the Green Mountain Callisto since they are able to throw a huge soundfield and have dynamics that will play up 105db!This speaker is a world class performer!!Check it out-Cheers Dennis

Jaybo,owning a factory seems to me as a major investment as one may make!The declarations of a company would add to the credentials of said company and solidify the manufacturs image in the consumers mind.On the other hand ,Thorston's reputation i... 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
Gentlemen,break in is a fact of life with VD cables and seems to be even longer with the higher level cables. Jmcgrogan2,you are on the tip of the iceberg when you consider that the REV is new and your amp is just starting to push through it.As fa... 
TDK SA-X or Maxell XLII-S which do you prefer?
I always loved the TDK and even have a few MAR metal tapes if you are interested ( they are rerecordable ).These were the very best tape with a die cast metal body and clear body.Please let me know if you are interested-Dennis 
Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player?
Williamdc,obviously the player is not for the light of heart and should require a strong back as well! I think that a friend may be in order for installing this one but as you said " I am interested in anything Thorston does" is also how i feel as...
