Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia?
The Krell with the WP7's is not a nice combo if you are partial to the Blue Circle equipment. WP7's work fine in small rooms, and Maxx's work also in small rooms. Just need some bass absorbtion (aka I have a ton of RealTraps Mondo Traps) in my 12x... 
CES05: AlexisPark 2701: comments
I would have to agree a very dry combination when I heard a DCS stack into the Halcro amps playing Wilson Maxx's (original not the II's) Very detailed but then again Wilson's don't need detail. 
Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia?
Vargus if you are interested in a Pair of Ferrari Fly Yellow WP7's I'll be glad to step up to some Maxx II's?I've spent too much time listening to my dealers Maxx II's and will be looking at posting my WP7's up for sale. Depending on the sale pric... 
Does this preamp exist?
Audible Illusions 3A, I had an L1 and it was a really awesome preamp but no phono. 
Need advice on my Parasound JC 1
JC-1's don't lack bass when I've heard them. You can only move so much air with 6 1/2" drivers.But it sounds like your listening position is in a bass null. Move your seating position and speakers.I owned a Sim W5 amp and 4070 model and found thos... 
What CD players have volume control
Get a Placette Passive and run the Wadia at full volumn since it is capable of 5-12volts out.. the placette is as close to not running a preamp and you will not have any dropped bits using the wadia digital control.. if you don't want to go passiv... 
CD Player or DAC
Meridian 508.24 or a Gamut CD1R (or a CD1S, but not the CD1) both are excellent front ends, don't bother complicating you system with separates at this price point you will just be compromising your system.The Meridian is very detailed with great ... 
which balanced preamp to recomend?
Rowland Synergy IIi (Fully balanced and liquid smooth) or the newer Rowland Preamp (older one has the external power supply)*** I have one for sale as I'm upgrading to a DAC with Volumn control ****

Wich one if any at all?
here's a review on the 16 from Wadia's Site...http://www.wadia.com/products/Product%20Archive/16rev.htm 
Wich one if any at all?
The 21 is ancient so I would stay away from that I believe the 6 and the 16 were statement products at some point in Wadia's line. 
Subwoofer for Magnepan 1.6's
The Vandersteen sub has a really execellent way of integrating the subs with the Mags since they are connected via speaker cable they can control the subs to match the speakers.. I butchered this description but someone else can fill in the detail... 
Need help deciding on player for upgrade
The Wadia uses a digital volumn control via jumpers to match up the volumn and will produce amazingly detailed presentation. The Audio Aero Capitole uses an analog output with tubes to produce a warmer presentation but there are threads about reli... 
Best cabling for Samsung DLP TV
for the DVI cables Wireworld cables are a bargain for the quality. If you need cheap DVI cables www.pccables.com but order everything you can think of because of shipping costs (USB cables are like a couple of bucks also, plus network cables, etc..) 
Rowland M501 versus M201
I was using Wilson Watt Puppy 7's. One thing to keep in mind is that the Lamm's can heat a room up 10 degree in a handful of minutes. The Lamm's are much warmer in the mid's with a little more force and a delicate magic. The top end in reviews was...
