Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim)
Hate is my vote, but I like very contemporary things. I am in the process of painting the wood on my Arcici rack gloss black (which has proven to be a pain in my butt...but it is almost done). It looks great!!! 
Silly Question: Short Power Cord + Ext. Cord?
Kevziek, I agree with you completely that the power cord to the transport usually makes a huge difference (from my experience it usually makes more of a difference then any other piece, amp, dac, or pre-amp). However, for some reason the power cor...

Silly Question: Short Power Cord + Ext. Cord?
I am having the same issue as you are Kevziek. I am planning to plug my amp and DCC2 directly into the wall using my hi-end power cords, and then plug my philips transport into one of my high end power cords and then into an extnesion cord. The re...

I do not think you will get "liquid so thick you could cut it with a knife" our of the JC-1's. I can only think of one amp that will give you absolute control with that kind of midrange..and that is the Lamm 1.2 Ref (a great but expensive amp). Ot... 
More on the VR4seIII
The JC-1's will control the bass a whole heck of a lot more then the bel canto 200.2's, even when they are used as monbolcks. I have owned both (by the way, I liked the 200.2's..taht is not a knock on them). The JC-1 has a grip on the bass unlike ... 
H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
I love the Spectron, but I do not think it is right for you (although it is a good choice for me). It focuses on detail retrival and is about as dynamic an amp as I have heard (probably the biggest reason I love it). Have you considered the JC-1's...

JFZ, I know you have class my man, as you put Von Freeman, "The Great Divide" on your list. Based on that, I may have to pick up your first 4 choices. 
How is the EMM Labs DCC2 as a stand alone DAC
What type of digital input are you going to use to feed the DCC2 - AES/EBU or coaxial. AES/EBU will be better. Either way, you will get great resolution and dynamics, but will still loose some of the special things the dcc2 does. I would say it is...

You might want to try a pair of Parasound Halo JC-1's. A few of us have tried them with VR4's with great success. I also like the spectron musician II/III on these speakers alot, but I dont think taht is going to get you what YOU want (the liquid ... 
Placette Audio – Great Customer Service
I have to agree with this post..I have delt with Guy, owned two of his pre-amps..and he is a class act!!!! 
Parasound JC-1 Questions
I have to say that I am the only one does not think that they get that hot. I have them on a rack iwth the recomended 6 inches of clearence abouve them, and they really are really just warm to the touch (now you have to tkae into consideration tha... 
Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's
If you are interested in a pair of JC-1's (which I use with my VR4 Gen III SE's), let me know. I may be selling, and if I do I will give you a good price. It was actually Tom, I believe, who got me to try the JC-1's (Thanks Tom). Tom is correct th...
