Comments requested on Meridian 508.24
I have a 506.24. The guy who sold it to me, a dealer said that it sounded better than the 508.20 and almost as good as the 508.24. I know I was probably stupid to take this advice, but I didn't want to hear that I should spend 2000.00 more than I ... 
Could someone explain the Pass Aleph 3??
I own an Aleph 3 and I can tell you that it doesn't play loud. I personally don't care because it plays loud enough for me. With my system 91 db speakers it will play to about 90 db without distortion, in a large room, which is not that loud (defi... 
harmonic technoliges interconnects/cable
I have worked my way through TARA Audioquest Kimber and now I use all harmonic tech. I think that the Pro Silway Mk 2 absolutely blows away Audioquest and everything else I have tried and it's a great price to boot. The pros require 50+ hours of b... 
It's not the sound I want!
I agree that the source is the most important. Try something like a Meridian 508.24 and the improvement will amaze you. 
Best Vanishing speakers
The best I have ever heard were a set of meadowlark kestrels with about 50k front end. 
Will a ALEPH 3 match with an 87 db monit
I tried to use the Aleph 3 with a pair of NHT super zeros, and found that I couldn't play much over 80-85 Db without overdriving the amp. I think that the NHTs are 87 db sensitive as well. I hope this doesn't scare you away from Pass Labs amps as ... 
Harmonic Technologies VS AudioTruth Diam
I have recentley replaced the AQ Lapis 1/2 meter with the HT Pros mk 2. I found the H.T. better in every regard. I found it amazing that they could retrieve so much more detail and yet sound so much smoother and easier to listen to at the same tim... 
Black Diamond Cones ADVICE
I use the BD cones under my CD player and I found a significant improvement by using them with ART Q dampers as a foot to the cones. The Q dampers have a center dent that the point of the BD cones fits into perfectly. 
Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00
I have an Aleph 3 and as long as your speakers are fairly efficient and you don't want to know the walls down you'll love it. The bass is not weak either, in fact it sounds much better than the bass I get from the 150 watt tube amp that I tried. B... 
CD player finally died. Need rec.
You might want to check out the Muse seperates, I have heard that they are awesome and are great on CDs. The Meridian 508.24 is really nice for a CD player also. I think analog sounds better too, but what are you gonna do if you can't get what you... 
Power cord upgrade
I would seriously dispute the hearing of a person who says that power cords don't make a diffrence. I have tried several of the less expensive models and they all change the sound, usually for the better. If I had the guts and a little more money ... 
Linn Majik, Karik- speaker match-up?
I have owned the Majik and Meadowlark Kestrel combo at home, and I think, that for the money the Kestrel is hard to beat. Lively and airy top end, with an awesome tight and tuneful bass that is hard to believe for a speaker so small. You can get a... 
Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00
If it was me and I had my heart set on an Aleph 3 I'd get one used. Make sure you buy it cheap enough and if you don't like it then sell it and get something else. The sound of the Aleph 3 is better than anything listed above and it would be a sha... 
Biwire or Jumpers: which is better?
I have experienced significant improvements by biwiring (even non biwire speakers improve from biwiring) I have heard people say that biwiring doesn't result in improvement, but it certainly did for me. 
hales,dunlavy,legacy,dynaudio,Etc.HELP
Ken, I compared Dunlavy to Hales and I thought the Dunlavys were much better, I also preffer them to the Dynaudio stuff. I bought a used set of SCIVs for 2700.00 and have been very happy with them. I however have not heard the Legacy line of speak...
