Joseph Audio Pulsar?
I am in no way saying this because this monitor was just reviewed in Absolute Sound and Stereophile, but...........My friend has the Audience ClairAudient 2+2 and they are wonderful! Soundstaging, imaging, and a "naturalness" that many speakers I'... 
Is the Accuton driver that good?
Most speakers with Accuton drivers don't seem to be efficient enough for a 300B. But hey, I'd love to hear it. 
Is the Accuton driver that good?
I've owned speakers with Accuton drivers and have a friend who has a speaker with them and the diamond tweeter. I believe the thing that makes them so appealing AT FIRST, is because of their low mass, they are very quick which makes them very nice... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Woohoo!! Why doesn't this kind of stuff happen more often??? I agree with what Z man said. 
Esoteric MG-10 vs Volent VL-2 vs A. Zen Adagio Jr
Had the Volents for a while. Very clean, detailed and transparent. They threw a very nice soundstage. However, I didn't find the bass to be as deep as some have said it to be. My room is bigger than someone's post above, but I still was expecting ... 
DAC's, i'm lost
I'm listing my MHDT Havana for sale tomorrow evening. It's a wonderful DAC. 
Headphone amp and headphones... ?
Burson HD-160 amp: $700 new. Senheisser 650 cans: $600 new. 
Tranquility Signature vs. Bryston BDA-1?
I hear the new Burson DAC (with volume control), is wonderful and it's cheaper than both of the dacs you mentioned. Look into it. 
Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp
Just ordered mine last night. I had a Weiss Minerva for a while, so it will be interesting to see if I agree with S.E.'s opinion. I spoke with the dealer about the 24/96 issue the S.E. spoke of. He said Burson was notified of this issue a while ba... 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
I started a (heated) thread about this very issue not long ago. Apparently so heated that Audiogon pulled it after a few days. In that thread, I stated that the cd player is dead. I have my thoughts on why people won't embrace the demise of the co... 
Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain?
Look into the Mapleshade Audio solution. Used it under CDP's, DAC's and amps and have achieved wonderful results with all. 
iTunes Versions
Itunes has regularly asked me if I wanted to download a new version. I have always declined. Yesterday I agreed and downloaded the newest version. A word of caution: If you do this, and own an itouch remote, the itouch will note "see" the computer... 
Recommend stands for Volent VL-2s?
I had the VL-2's. I used them with Sound Anchor three post stands with very nice results. Sound Anchor stands are exceptional IMO. The blue dots you get with the stands really, sorry to say this but, "anchor" the stands well. Example: When I grabb... 
Mac sound quality
What Shardorne and 4est said. Also, talking to Apple guys about two channel is a complete waste of time. I've used firewire and toslink out of my Mini going to oversampling and NOS dacs while achieving amazing results with both. 
Rectifier tube keeps blowing
Atmasphere: The first time the rec. went, it happened after 30 mins of use. The second time, it happened two seconds after power up. The amp is going back, but thanks for getting this back on track Atma.
