Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???
Good chance you'll get a lot of less-than-completely-honest answers, though. 
How good is the Musical Fidelity A5?
Maybe, but the inquiry was about the A5 CD player, not the amp. 
Blind Power Cord Test & results
What a damn shame they didn't consult you before the test. How could they be so stupid? Thanks for setting us all straight. 
What's your profession? Age?
More likely: wired correctly for science and wrongly for high-end audiophile pseudo-science and BS. :-) 
Review: Green Mountain Audio Callisto Monitor
I'm curious to know if any GMA enthusiasts listen to much classical music. The Europa, which is the only GMA speaker I have heard, does very well with rock, but I'm less sure of its ability to do the "refined" thing, which I find is very important... 
Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT

Anyone tried Oritek X-1 cables?
I have a pair and think they are great. 
What's your latest "Discovery"
Marco, I'm a big Kelly Joe Phelps fan myself. Probably like Lead Me On best of all, but that's the first one I got and the first often ends up being the favorite. I've seen him live only once and it was very special. 
Help me choose new digital player
The Ayre does not do DVD video.I am in a similar boat as you, also having a Sony SCD777ES. Although SACD and DVD-A are not a priority for me, I do see myself adding a hard drive as a source. (In fact, I think most of us will go that way.) So I wan... 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Larry BOUGHT DK Designs? Golly!

Why? 
An observation about "Modern" classical music.
Much modern classicial doesn't resort to the standard and obvious endings of the older classics. So what? Besides which, people are less familiar with it.
