CDP choices-Looking for advice
Resolution Audio Opus 21. Redbook only, but has a digital input that accepts 24/96 for DVP playback and computer. Uses the highly regarded BB 1704 chips. They are usually $1500 - $1700 used.

Great analogy Rrog. 
Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K
I am assuming that his slightly lower efficiency speakers such as the Jazz Modules (92 dB, $4500) are not efficient enough.That would depend on the size of the room and how loud the OP listens. I have a small room, listen to the same type of music... 
Music Reference RM9 and Preamp Experiences
Not only does Roger eschew audio voodoo and pixie dust, he also challenges standard engineering principals of application design and feedback. Anyone who can make a EL84 amp which outputs twice the watts or more than other EL-84's do (writing his ...

I've been at Roger's place a couple tines and know he does listen. I think like most his designs have a house sound. I also know he spends a lot of time measuring, specifically for distortion and hum. He is probably one of the few designers who pu...

Best speakers for about $3500

Why doesn't this link show up in the forum section any longer? I had to do a search to find it. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Clipsal, what were the other components in the system in which you heard the shoot out?The B1 is an excellent product. Nelson Pass also has published schematics for his own version of the Lightspeed. My take on his development of the B1 is that th... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hopefully will have it in a few weeks. Ed Schilling at the Horn Shoppe builds them one by one and he has a bit of a back log right now. I'll probably start a new thread at some point in the future to provide some feedback and comparisons.
