Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp?
I'm currently reviewing the XP-30 and am just getting going. I reviewed the XP-20 (July 1, 2009 Dagogo) and have used the XP-2 in reviews along with other high end preamps over the past 2 1/2 years. It is immediately evident even out of the box co... 
Review: Lessloss Tunnelbridge Interconnect System Interconnect
I'm finally updating my 10-1-11 comment on the Lessloss Tunnelbridge interconnects. This won't be a full "review", but I will hit the highlights.I've now been living with at least a pair of them in my main system for 2 months, and I've also used t... 
Review: Lessloss Tunnelbridge Interconnect System Interconnect
I saw this thread and decided to add to it. I recently obtained two pairs of Tunnelbridge ICs for evaluation. I tried them in three different configurations. The following is a brief summary, which I hope to supplement as time goes on.I first inst... 
Lyngdorf RP-1 Room Correction Device, opinions pls
I use an RP1 and the improvement was quite significant. The system is very simple to set up. I wrote a review of it in the Dagogo May 2008 issue. I had no difficulty in finding settings that worked very well.

The HDCD encoding must be decoded by the DAC. As a result, the DAC section of your preamp/intergrated/receiver must be able to decode HDCD signals asent to it from the digital output of the cdp for you to hear the benefits of HDCD decoding. As for... 
NHT Sub Two Owners
Thanks to all of you for your emails and comments on this site. I took the plunge and bought two Sub Two's. I set them up Friday and am very impressed. In fact, I originally set them up to simply complement my 802's, but I'm now operating them wit... 
What size subwoofer to get?
System-matching and your music-HT bias are critical. I use a Paradigm Servo-15 to supplement (not crossover) my B&W Nautilus 802's for the sub-50hz information on some (not all) music listening. The Servo-15 is an excellent HT sub and a good m... 
Subwoofer for Both Music and HT
I also am trying to balance both. I have had great success with the Paradigm Servo-15. However, no matter what you do, 2 subs will almost always sound better than 1. I am considering 2 NHT Sub Two's or 2 Vandersteen 2Wq or V2W. 
HELP: Subwoofer for music
I have a similar dilemna, although I'm not a DYI guy. I presently use a single Paradigm Servo-15. It supplements my mains, which are B&W Nautilus 802's, which are pretty fast. The Servo-15 does pretty well, but I like very tight sound and I'm ...

Thanks for all your responses - they're very helpful. The list now includes the following: Vecteur D-2; Pioneer S95; Levinson 37; Wadia 20; Theta DaVid; CEC TL2; Marantz CDR 620. I am familiar with the Levinson 37. Anyone out there hear any of the... 
Sweet DACs in HT prepro
I strongly second the above EAD recommendation by Nar com. Most musical HT processor I have ever heard and beats many "high-end" 2-channel preamps/processors.
