Verity Audio speakers
I have the Verity Encores, latest model, for several years. Did have the opportunity to demo the Ovations at home, very similar, slight change in bottom bass section. Did not notice much difference so I kept he Encores, loved them both. Great matc... 
Cable For Esoteric UX-3 Universal Player
I use the audience AU24e with mine. Previous was shunyata. I like the Audiene. 
platform under NAS Spacedeck
I have tried the mapleshade, nice upgrade, reasonable price. My favorite is a Silent Running Audio base custom made for the Spacedeck/Acespace. A bit more money but well worth it to me. 
The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned?
Elizabeth, put the paper towel rolls in the freezer for 34.5 hours along with a picture of Mikey Fremer and you will notice a HUGE amazing increase of everything that ends in "-ality". I am thinking of marketing this and a set of four risers with ... 
Esoteric UX 3 Universal Player
I will also say that the video at 1080i is fantastic. I no longer use the video but when I did I did not miss anything from my blu-ray. 
Esoteric UX 3 Universal Player
I love my UX-3. I turn off the video for audio playback, a simple push of a button. I did recently have it skip on a few dual disc sacd, sent it in for warranty service, I purchased it as a demo unit almost two years ago. Esoteric could not reprod... 
Sonus Faber Cremona M vs Verity Audio Parsifal
I am very happy with my Parsifal Encores and have listened to many others and go back to the Parsifal's. I did have a chance to upgrade to the Parsifal Ovations and in my room with my system the Ovations did not sound really much different. If bli... 
Fed up with people making noise at classical shows
Welcome to this forum Mr. Kieth Jarrett, It is nice having someone of your talent join us on these forums. As for the noise, I can't help much but do try to be very quiet in live concerts myself. 
Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables?
I would agree with the description offered by Inna for the Nottingham. I have a spacedeck with the newest arm and an odd but great bearing and like it a lot. I was really surprised by benefit of the heavy kit. I also upgraded the base it sits on w... 
Classe move to China
Sorry, lost the last of my post somewhere in the computer world, to Fundsgon, you might look for a pair of CA-M400 if the country of origin is a concern, I wanted to post my impression of differences between the two. If I was looking for home thea... 
Classe move to China
I have a CA-2200 and did audition the 2300. For my tastes and my system I prefered the 2200. I could have swaped out for a few hundred dollars but prefered the timbre and midrange of the 2200, I also did not like the fan but it was pretty quiet on... 
Isolation/Vibration control advise for a phono pre
I have been very happy with stillpoints with risers on both my tubed phono stages, EE Mini Max and Herron VTPH-2. 
Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig
#1 Calling it a rig. I have never thought of using the word "rig" when it comes to an audio system. Thats going to open a whole can of worms as people try to tweak more "rigality" into their system. 
Herron VTSP3 pre-amp with what stereo poweramp
I am very satisfied with my VTSP-3A and the classe ca-2200. I have tried many different amps and they do sound different, I think that the herron does not significantly color the music so when a change is made it is usually pretty easy to notice i...
