Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound?
Counterpoint just blew up right when I was looking. That's why I went with Quicksilver silver monos with a full service Quick pre amp. It has been bulletproof (selling all as you know), but I was going to get Jadis within a year or two back in the... 
Warm airy musical speakers?
I've got a pair of Proac Supertowers that work perfectly with quicksilver tube gear that I'm also selling. It will give you as good a soundstage as you could want and with the tubes it can be magical (everything is also room dependent. I also have... 
Comparision: Modwright, Counterpoint, Aesthetix
Stefan, is this a second thread on this? We did this yesterday, lol. What is your true budget? What are the ones you mentioned going for? Thanks. 
Magnepan 3.7 Jumper Direction?
Dpmolino, call John at Audio Connection in Verona NJ. He sells both the cable and the speakers. He was demoing them for us a couple of weeks ago and he did a few things that made them sound so much better. I didn't even like them at first. Hated t... 
Comparision: Modwright, Counterpoint, Aesthetix
I'd put my Quicksilver full function preamp up against the Modwright. I have it at Audio Connection in NJ where it's been gone over. LEt me know if interested. Thanks. 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Obviously it's all subjective and some will take anyone's word on what THEY think is the best, but this is fun stuff. I'm interested in what Matt has to say. Sounds like all of the DAC's in this thread are getting a ton of good press and in the ri... 
Best cheap speaker cables............again
Guys, I've been around audio at a pretty high level since 69 or so. Yes, I was only 9, but I was hooked when I heard Klipshorn's with Crown electronics with the top of the line Garrard TT with top of the line Grado cartridge. There were no special... 
Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound?
I think most agree that counterpoint was some of the best stuff you could get way back when. It was awesome stuff. I personally liked the Jadis stuff a TON...Counterpoint just had too many problems. It's too bad the company didn't make it. Great s...

Matt it's all good man. I know that Johnny is interested and would love to help you out with the Aesthetix. He's always available, lol. I know that everyone is interested and like one poster said, what's good for you. isn't necessarily good for...... 
Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades
Milhorn, just go away please. You've embarrassed yourself enough. I threw you an olive branch and you didn't take it. I honestly don't care what you said after you called me untruthful. Anything after that just goes in one ear and out the other. I... 
Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
Tony, I got it, but I had to make sure, lol. What's the viscosity of the furniture oil you are using? I find beez wax from a special African bee works best for tightening the bass, but at the expense of the soundstage. Just another tradeoff. ;)......

Matt, what happened this weekend at Audio Connection? Why didn't you hear the Aesthetix? Will you be able to go back to listen as I'd love to hear how it sounds to you against all the other DAC's. Let us know. Thanks. 
Counterpoint, Modwright, Aesthetix sound?
I am selling an affordable preamp. It's a full function quicksilver pre in great condition. I bought it over the AI as the dealer I worked with sold both those and we had the Counterpoint in with us too as he was trying it out. He was an AR dealer... 
Thinking about getting into vinyl again...
LOL... too funny. I'm assuming you are tongue in cheek here.
