Magico S5 review
Keithr,Thank you for your impressions.I`d prefer the big VAC rather than the Soulution also. Based on your expressed taste it does`nt seem a mega size/power solid state amplifier is what you`d settle down with ultimately.Regards,

Keithr,How does the Magico`s presentation/perspective differ from your Zu DEF IV speaker given the very different design approach?Regards,

The country of orgin for various parts does`nt matter. I`m sure the spectrum of quality in china is broad as it is in any other country.The only thing that matters is the sound performance,reliability,support/customer service and relative value to... 
What Does Holographic Sound Like?
Mapman and Kijanki,Good posts and I share the same sentiments.Kijanki your "gardener`s syndrome" sums it up succinctly.Regards, 
Pass Labs XA30.5 or ARC VS115 is better
Hi Onemug,I love 'directly heated triode' tubes also.Are you saying you find class A SS more natural than pentode tubes in class AB ultra linear mode in general or just specificaly between these two amplifiers, or am I misunderstanding you?Regards,

There`s no lack of common sense, there are some product and components you won`t be able to audition without buying first(example use items on audiogon). Some products are only sold direct(and don`t always offer a trial policy). We all have our ow... 
Burn in Capacitor phenomena
The better sounding/quality capacitors do seem built to address the issue of resonance and they are better damped.Duelund is a prime example of high effort to minimize resonance.Regards,

Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
If you must audition these cables before buying(I can understand why) they may not be a good choice for you. I purchased mine without hearing them(word of mouth enthusiasm) and it worked out fine. I realize everyone is`nt comfortable doing that ho... 
Thoughts on 845 set monoblocks
I agree with Jwm, the Viva with your Tannoys should sound excellent and with all genre of music. I hope you`re able to get them.Regards,

You can get the Ocellia through Sounds of Silence Audio.com(USA) or direct from Ocellia in Montreal Canada.They are truly exceptional in presenting realism and natural tone.Regards,

I disagree with the notion that hifi shows are useless for comparison and evaluation of audio components(why would companies invest the time,effort and expense?). It is`nt realistic to buy/borrow every piece of equitment(especially speakers) to he...
