Green Mountain1.5si vs AP's Virgo II: Pros/Cons?
I haven't heard the APs either, but I did listen to many speakers in my recent search... too many to mention (quite tiring). Anyway, I absolutely loved (and walked away with) the GMA 1.5s... fantastic speaker! Bass response sounds great to me... v... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Fantastic thread... and I have to thank you guys for many of the suggestions. Particularly, thanks for mentioning Eva Cassidy - what a stunning & haunting voice! I can't believe I'd never heard of her before! By the way, I read she died of mel... 
Music for "Tough Times"
By the way, Thebeave250, thanks for the Sigur Ros' recommendation! I sampled it online, and ordered it. Have you ever listened to Mercury Rev... in fact, "Deserter's Song" is another great choice for this list. 
Music for "Tough Times"
Great thread, and great responses!!! This thread's been going for 2 years!!! Sreno, I was wondering when someone would mention Tom! Besides the ones already mentioned (I listen to many of them myself), I'd like to add Peter Gabriel, old David Bowi... 
Would a Bel Canto DAC2 do the trick?
Hi Michael,Can you describe the differences you perceived between the Bel Canto DAC2 and the Musical Fidelity A3 24? I was interested in the DAC2 because I read that it works fine with DVD players as a transport... I figured I could upgrade to a b... 
Looking for a digital front end...
Would a Bel Canto DAC2 used with my DVD player work with my system/tastes? 
Looking for a digital front end...
By the way, I have a Toshiba DVD player I might be able to use as a transport, but I'm not sure how well that would work. 
Looking for a digital front end...
How about a used dac/transport/ic combo? There's a lot of Theta stuff available on here. Any thoughts on this?

Proy, I'm not sure which cd player you're referring to. 
Tube gear under $2k?
Eldragon, isn't an older amp more likely to break down? I checked, and there are several Dynaco ST 70's available. Which one would you recommend (I would have no idea)? How is the bass on the st 70? What preamp would work with these (and interconn... 
Anyone heard this tube integrated?
I know this thread might be dead, but can someone describe the sound of the JJ 828? How tight is the bass? How detailed is it? How smooth is it? Does it have enough slam for heavy metal, trip hop & electronic? 
Tube gear under $2k?
Actually, I really like seeing the tubes... not enough to make me avoid a piece of equipment, though. Do you feel the fan in the Rogue equipment introduces reliability problems, Arthur? 
Tube gear under $2k?
How would Quicksilver separates compare to the other options mentioned in this thread? From what I've been able to read in different forum archives, it sounds like the Rogue Tempest Magnum might be what I'm looking for. Would other people agree? W... 
Tube gear under $2k?
Everything sounded great with the Stingray... even trip-hop & metal! By the way, as this is my first time venturing into tubes, I'd prefer something reliable and easy to work with (I might try a kit later... that sounds like fun). 
Joseph Audio RM25si Mk1 versus Dynaudio 1.8
Mr. Joseph,I now feel that what I didn't like about the 25 may have been attributable to the amp (NAD370) that was driving it. In retrospect, I wish I had heard them with something better. I will say that there was something intoxicating about lis...
