| Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range I'd have to go in the lines of YBA, Plinius, Electrocompaniet. Although they are over $2K new, but can be have for less in bought used ! | |
| Best Vanishing speakers I had speakers in the range of EPOS ES11, Sonus Faber Electa Amator, Totem Model 1, Dynaudio Contour 1.1, Audience 40... In all honesty, if properly set-up i a room, all speakers will disappear. Its a matter of how they are set-up!!! And I 'm not ... | |
| Best ever made & sounding CD transport ? For me, the Sonic Frontiers SFT1 and the Theta Pearl are very good for the money considering they sound really good and at the same time very well made! | |
| Best matching speaker for Alepha 3. Proac Response 1sc might be a good match along with the Merlin TSM-SE. Ahhh, another winner which I also heard is quite good for the Aleph 3 is the Dynaudion Contour 1.1's. | |

| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices I tried Canare as well, but among the others I tried, it sounds a bit grainy compared to Transparent, and Purist Audio. Again, my system is revealing enough to be able to detect the differences in different digital cables. | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices Albert Porter, For clarification, is the purist audio single ended digital coaxial cable sound better than the Purist Balanced digital cable ? Many thanks, Ferdinand | |
| PURIST AUDIO DESIGN So far, their Proteus aes/beu digital cable is the best I've used for my Forsell D/A and Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 ! the cable is so finely balanced! darn, expensive thou! I can't wait to try out their interconnects. | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices Tried the Canare (rca), Transparent Premium Coaxial (rca), Purist Audio Proteus (balanced), and the Tranpsarent Music link digital (balanced). The best of them is the Purist Audio Proteus used in balanced with the Forsell D/A and the Sonic Frontie... |
