Ayon CD5 vs Audio Aero Prestige
I think the AMR is really BIG. 
Esoteric X03SE vs Ayon CD-2 or CD-5
Nisey - what are you going to buy to replace the CD5 you are selling? 
Millenium carbon fiber cd mat and Bel Canto CD2
Be careful with mats on top-loaders. One of the worst sounds on earth is hearing your puck dislodge and fly into the guts of the machine. It makes you cringe, much like the sound of an auto accident. 
Harbeth HL5 vs M30

Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000
I think people forget something - they have a given CD player and they optimize the system to get it to sound it's best. They select the right ICs and PCs, move the speakers around, etc. Then they substitute something new and little wonder it may ...

Ayon CD2 is AMAZING
The (s) stands for "slightly more amazing than the CD-2". 
How to tame brightness

Air Bladders
Listening to different cartridge loadings? Well, it does sound like fun, but I think I'd rather inflate the bladders. I'm just kidding around. It's your stuff- do whatever you think is fun. 
Air Bladders
Does anybody actually play music anymore? 
Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound
It appears from their post that AA wants you to send them back the unit. What else are you expecting? 
Anybody have experience with "Janis sub woofers"
Hi Jim - liked your book. The value of proper setup cannot be overstated. 
How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12
I agree with the above, but the key is - do you have someone who can set it up correctly? If you're going to buy new, the dealer will do this for you, but think about it if you're buying used.
