What Mike and Tim (Tireguy) said! 
Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well
I must be the Lone Ranger and totally crazy here (no comment please Tim), but I actually LIKE my BUTT ugly Switchman. That darn thang is so homely it is cute, kinda like a bulldog!!! But let me tell ya, when you hear what the Meitner stuff SOUNDS ... 
Are You Satisfied?
It has been a long journey but I am happy as a clam and feel no need to upgrade anything. Yes, I know, my system is fairly costly, but I agree with 4yanx that upgrading and musical enjoyment are not mutually exclusive. I can still (and often do) e... 
Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well
In my 35 years of audio experience (and madness), and in MY system, based on MY tastes, My preferences and MY room, the EMM Labs is BY A VAST MARGIN, the best digital source I have ever heard. But what REALLY makes it so special for me with 1300 R...

Kharma CRM 3.2F vs. Avalon Eidolon and Diamond

Kharma CRM 3.2F vs. Avalon Eidolon and Diamond
PS - Bob (and Flex, I am assuming you were not referring to me as I did not make any comments on the Eidolons), all of my comments about the Meitner gear was limited to its Redbook CD performance!! I only have about 5 SACDs (4 of which are some of...

Bob, I will just tell you MY opinion on the AA versus the Metiner versus analog (so, to everyone else, please realize this is JUST my opinion based on my tastes, my prefernces, my room acoustics and my equipment synergy).First, the AA is a wonderf... 
Kharma CRM 3.2F vs. Avalon Eidolon and Diamond
I have been listening to the Midis that were at CES for about two months and they are incredible -- paired with these Tenor amps and the Meitner digital gear, FOR MY TASTES, it's hard to believe it can get any better. The importer is sending me a ... 
Kharma CRM 3.2F vs. Avalon Eidolon and Diamond
Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you are comparing the 3.2 to the Eidolon Diamond rather that say, the Kharma Midi-Grand instead. I say this not just because the 3.2 is $19,000 and the Eidolon Diamond $34,000 (so the Midi-Grand is more c...
