EMM Labs vs. Esoteric vs. Burmester
I've heard the Burmester on WP7's/VTL Ultimate 7.5/VTL 450 signatures with all transparent cabling.. it was stunning! I also heard the DCS combo with Halcro and Maxx's... also stunning.. the burmester was definitely more liquid... I've heard levin... 
Review: Denon DVD-900
thanks for the review... I still haven't made the SACD plunge or the DVD-A plunge and I might do it with this just for playing around.. 
Dealing with transformer hum
I have some Quiet Line (by Audio Prism) on order as my dealer recommended placing these on the same outlet as my refridge (which causes a humming/hiss in my speakers) and he also said anything ciruit that has a motor in it... so I'll have one on e... 
Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker
Awesome Review!Jfrech - I've heard the newer Maxx II and I own WP7's.... Keep your Reference and buy the Maxx II's! I loved the older Maxx's but the newer Maxx II's are a wall of sound, I can't image how much better these X2's are that are reviewe... 
Transparent's Network Boxes
Based on your other thread you posted (you system is listed below) you should consider upgrading your CJ PV10a preamp. Upgrading to a placette, CJ Premier 14, CJ 17,or some other high end preamp will really suddenly open up the soundstage depth an...

ARC LS22 to CJ 16ls significant upgrade?
or if you want a little warmer than the CJ16 then look for a CJ Premier 14 (but you will need a phono preamp), this was the before the 16 and is warmer but still extremely acurate.. (just make sure you don't have a wadia or Gamut CD player outputi... 
Multichannel amp s for an all B&W system?
I use to have the Powermaster 2000 with 400watts and it is an excellent amplifier and extremely musical with my EAD Signature.. I only sold it to buy Lamm's for my 2 channel system.. the Sunfire I bought to replace is not in the same league as the... 
Power & line conditioners - One size fits all?
Disconnect you Cable (coax) and listen again and see if you system still hums... There are solutions for this... Line Conditions won't get rid of the ground hum.... Do a search for Ground Loops. 
How much have sub-woofers changed over the years?
I have a Velodyne F1800X (750watt version of the F1800) on my video system and placement and configuration really does make a difference (I put mine on a Sistrum SP4 stand and the bass tighened up signifactly in my system). But if you are looking ...
