Comparing Ultraverve to CJ 16 or Supratek preamps
Frankk,From your previous thread, I believe you would gain the most from cables. I also have the Ultraverve and recently moved up the Gabriel Gold line to the Revelations. It is astonishing how good these cables are and very involving. If interest... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio EOS HD Monitor
Nice review. The last time I spoke to Roy at GMA, he mentioned they would be at RMAF this year with the EOS HD. I first heard the Callisto at RMAF and ordered a pair on the spot. Roy states the EOS HD as being better and I trust his word. The audi... 
Please help me decide.

Green Mountain Audio Eos
Roy's designs are about function and sound quality. I have heard some beautiful looking speakers that sound terrible and they had great gear in front of them. The Callisto is so good, I have owned them since their debut at RMAF. Roy has told me th... 
Monitor Suggestion - $ 2000 max
Green Mountain Audio Callisto used or possibly the new EOS. I know the sound of the Callisto. No disappointments here. I hope to hear the new EOS in the near future, but they would have to be something special to let go of the Callisto.http://www.... 
Preamp for Quad 989 and Quicksilver v4
VTL TL 2.5 or TL 5.5. 
Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget
Have we come to a point where most of the CDP's all sound somewhat the same, just picking a certain aspect that one likes over the other in their particular system? Or do we have to spend a small fortune to get what we want?

I contacted Pacific Valve about the Doge 6 and got this response:The player is designed by Dr. Lua and made by Jolida which is made by Shenda. The Doge 6 is the same as the LUA Apassionato that is sold in Germany by LUA Audio. If you visit the LUA... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
the gg's have bested all cables i have tried including some pretty seriouis mega buck big potato guys like siltech ftm4sg, stealth metacarbon and analysis plus golden ovals. but, hearing is believing and if you haven't heard them, speculation is j... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I have had the Gabriel Gold Extremes in my rig for two weeks and the music is incredible. Piano notes are like standing beside the piano, hearing the notes being struck, crisp and clean. Bass is tight and mids to die for. I have no idea what the R... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Bobf* Now you have me wanting the Revelation and I can't imagine how the sound can get any better. Knowing the difference between the originals and the Gabriel Gold Extremes, I believe you. Steve has found some magic here. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I have had the Gabriel Gold Extremes for a week now, replacing two pairs of the original Gabriel Golds. I have about 50 hours on them. Right out of the box the Extremes were better than the originals. The originals replaced Audio Magic Sorcerer IC... 
VTL TL2.5 Preamp
For the money, I know of very little that competes with the VTL TL 2.5. Very engaging, excellant volume control, solid build, huge soundstage and black background. IMHO. Email me if you have more questions. 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
I own two pair of the original Gabiel Gold interconnects and was shocked at the transpariency of these IC's. They are an instant change for the better. Open, detailed and just plain musical. I recently ordered two pair of the Gabriel Gold Extreme'... 
Hope this helps someone with RFI problems
I am curious, do you have dedicated circuits for your audio? Dedicated circuits eliminated huge amounts of noise in my system and the best tweek for the money. Glad you got results.
