ss amp synergy w/wilsons
Halos JC-1 monos by John Curl are still one of the best and tere at great prices on the Gon. 
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
ARC Reference 210 for sale on Audiogon would be a killer amp on those Sophia's. Next, but difference sound experience would be used VTL 450 MKII or Signatures for sale. 
Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs
You should consider Wavestream Phono Unit. This is by far the best phono unit I have had in my system and I had them all. It is design and built by Scott Franklin. It has three selectable inputs. You can preconfigure those to the right loading for... 
after Valhalla, i changed to
After having all Valhalla in my system for three years, I'm back to Stealth Indra IC's and Speaker Dream Cable. My music has returned to me. Let's face the subjectivity of all this cable selection stuff so it really gets down to what you like in y... 
The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices
Charyo, I think you are on to something here in this discussion. Since this room is usually some reflection our music expectations and living taste, speakers must work well in the room. Our living room is also our audio listening room. I owned and... 
Lamm ML2.1 monos with MBL 101E, OPINIONS
You've got great speakers, but Lamm ML 2.1 is poor combination. Its too low powered.An additional way to get more information would be doing a MBL 101e "search" on Audigon and Audio Ayslum to find fellow system owners. Look at their virtual system... 
rockport altair any informed opinions?
The Altair was my favorite speaker system at CES. If I hadn't lost so much wealth during this economic turndown I would buy Altair and call my speaker search quits. Then I would have to up grade the rest of my system - Bananas! 
The best phono stage out there?
A great product in your price range, maybe one of best in the world (IMHO), is the Wavestream Phono Unit. It's a Scott Franklin tube design. It's neutral, quiet while being very musical. You can buy it with one, two or up to three phono inputs. FY... 
What is the Best Integrated tube amp you heard
The VAC Phi Beta is the best integrated I have in my system. I don't know if it still in production. It is worth checking out before you buy anything. 
Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
SS is excellent advice, but some of us have had excellent results with tube amps. In my case I settled on Lamm ML 2.1 Monos. They have all the power, detail, transparency, sound stage I look for while producing beautiful music. They are a touch da... 
Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
I like my choice Lamm ML 2.1's. What's upstream is so important? Settle on those components first then amps. Compare your system other Wilson systems online. Try emails. Forums don't always work. 
What is the best full range Speaker ?
I meant Magnepan's. My error. 
What is the best full range Speaker ?
At the RMAF the I was really impressed by the Reference 3A Grand Veena's- full range and sound so good. Go on line and read the reviews from all quarters. Find a dealer near you and take a listen to them. If there is no dealer near you check with ... 
Why Transparent Cable? for Wilsons.... options?
In my W/P 8 based system I'm using Stealth Indra ICs with Stereovox 600 speaker cables. I tried lots of used same brand and different brand combinations, but this combination sounds the best for my ears - so far? The Transparent's were very good, ... 
45RPM reissues: really better one-side pressing?
The Mary Stallings Clarity recording was sold as one sided and two sided versions. I don't know that these two versions were widely released or available together, but some were made available locally in the SF Bay Area. Clarity wanted to show jus...
