I Cried Today
Thank you for the beautiful story and stirring tribute to a life well lived.  There are several things I love about being in the audio business.  The first, is that I am helping people bring music into their lives and into their homes.  Music is o... 
BW 801 D4 or BW 802 D4 + 2 subs
May I suggest that you go to the next step above B&W. The engineer responsible for most of the finest technologies at B&W left when B&W was sold and eventually formed (with a partner) Vivid Audio. Vivid has refined these technologies a... 
Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice?
Here in the U.S. the Vivid Audio Kaya K25 speakers sell for $11,000 per pair.   
Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice?
As has been mentioned in a few different ways, to get the best performance out of a bookshelf speaker they really need to be on their dedicated stands. A slender floor standing speaker takes the same amount of space. But because the floor stander ... 
any current integrated amps in market have great dacs?
The Mola Mola Kula integrated amp, the Kula, has the famous Tambaqui DAC built into it.  As an option you can get the Kula integrated with or without a DAC and a phono stage.  The optional DAC circuit inside the integrated amp is the same as the M... 
Need advice on media player and or dacs
Look no further than the Grimm MU1 music player/streamer ($12.5K) running into the amazing Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC ($13.5 K).  The best combo out there for the dollar (at any price actually). If that puts you a bit over budget, then substitute the ... 
New Speaker advice
If you haven't had the opportunity to experience the Vivid Audio Kaya series loudspeakers you're in for a treat. But don't listen in haste - the longer you listen the more you become completely enthralled. The Kaya series possess the qualities whi... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
As has been mentioned in the many responses; execution is everything.  Whether you agree with this notion or not, the proof is in the hearing.  Listening to the latest technologically advanced amplifiers from Mola Mola (the new Perca stereo amp or... 
Full range stand mounted speakers
I would highly recommend the Vivid Audio Kay S12 speakers.  They are so impressive. They disappear as the source of the sound and they are very 3-D. The most remarkable thing is the bass response which is so clean and so powerful it's really hard ... 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
A very thought provoking question. After many years of searching I've found my speaker (or line of speakers). The speaker must be tonally neutral so that voices and instruments sound correct and not altered in some strange way. The speaker must al... 
A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At
With regard to the level of analog you should stop at, I would offer one thought. So many turntables and arms simply trade one sonic value for another. The question to ask is "does a given turntable and arm offer something unique in terms of techn... 
Best Full-Function Preamplifier
I would recommend the Mola Mola Makua preamp. It can be purchased as a line stage or with a phono stage and/or a DAC stage. The beautiful thing about this preamp is that it is super transparent, neutral and very dynamic. The cherry on the top is t... 
Looking for Turntable Reccomendations
I would recommend most highly that you consider purchasing a Kronos turntable. The Kronos Sparta turntable may be a bit more than the other recommendations offered here on AudiogoN, but the Kronos turntables are truly in a league by themselves. If... 
Class D amps that are superior to all or most?
The finest amplifiers I've experienced, that utilize class-D circuitry, are clearly the Mola Mola. The Genesis of their amplifiers (and other components as well) resides with the engineer who created the UCD module and the N-Core module. Understan... 
Speaker recommendations :-)
There's a discussion elsewhere on AudiogoN that discusses the perfect speaker. An interesting exercise, and confusing when the adjectives start flying with no description of the meaning of the words.  First, a speaker should do no harm. In other w...
