Met a great dealer in Milwaukee last week
He may be.  I didn't notice it, but there was so much to see/listen to, lol. I will be going back in a few weeks to hear the new Sig 3 Vandy Model 2's.  Have been told that they are game changers again.  I'm also blown away by his stand mounted VL...

@karl_desch , I got to meet Jon at Ultra this week. What a great great guy.  I agree on his set ups.  That was sick how the walls disappeared in that room.  It's a real world room with no acoustic play toys.  The system was cold, but you could tel...

Jim, thanks.  We need to talk on phone and catch up soon!!!  I can't afford a preamp right now, lol.  I'm hoping and praying that the volume control they install in my server/DAC is of the highest quality.  The designer built the Melos gear back i... 
Ayre QX-5 vs Lumin vs dCS Bartok
Funny thing is that I don't know anyone who have heard the QX5/20 not enjoy it and feel that it punches well beyond it's price range.  There is a reason that Ayre is taking it's time with a reference DAC.

Great post Earth. I totally agree with you. Which Vandy/amp/source are you using?  I have the new Vandersteen HP5's showing up tomorrow.  I'll use an analog volume control being installed in my The Memory Player (server/DAC/volume control) to driv... 
Ayre QX-5 vs Lumin vs dCS Bartok
I"ve heard it in uber systems and it's a great DAC/digital front end.  I will scale with better equipment to a very high level. 
Ayre QX-5 vs Lumin vs dCS Bartok
Surprised this thread didn't go further.  I own the AX5/20 (selling as I have the Vandersteen HP5 amps in bound).  I owned the QX5/20 and LOVED it for so many reasons.  Just a great digital hub that sounds great.  The Lumin is also a great DAC and...

I use the copper bi wire WT's on my Quatro's and LOVE them.  Transformative is a word that a few who know my system have used.  Highly musical and never thin.  Some equipment that is highly revealing can possibly sound 'thin' in the mids.  I have ...

My college friend is a long time pilot with Alaskan Air.  She lives on Brainbridge Island.   
Brand new Vandersteen Model 2's
LMAO...You crack me up Johnny.  Great stuff.  Can't wait to hear your thoughts. I've heard one other's and he LOVES them.  I bet the Mimas would work with them nicely too.
