| Food for thought for all us audiophiles I guess cognitive dissonance would not apply if you are actually cost conscious. There are many times I want the cheaper, more reliable, lighter gear to sound better but just can't talk myself into keeping the cheaper, inferior sounding equip.. (U... | |

| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? I love the triplanar arm. Along the same line, has anyone use no damping fluid at all?ThanksNewbee to vinyl | |
| Better than a CAT? Robert,Did you try Lamm M1.2 or ML1.1? How do they compare to the CAT?Thanks | |
| Which amp to drive Avalon Diamonds? I like a remote so no CAT preamp. I current have Phi110 and Pass 350.5 and both mate well with ARC ref3. I can't do atmasphere due to open design. I have a 2 year old and another on the way. | |
| BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions? The presentation of the 51se does change a lot with different power cords. It was muted with shunyata and audience PCs but great with SR, Harmonix stuff.ARC is slightly better with textures and bass. The ARC makes the soundstage much bigger than e... | |
| Which amp to drive Avalon Diamonds? Bish: I auditioned the Ref 610 & Pass X600.5 and prefered the Pass. I prefer my listed amps over the ARC and Pass. The Ref 610 was great but sound more SS like than I liked. I will definitely keep you guys posted.Kurtank: I have listened to Te... | |

I found Synergistic AC coupler or harmonix xdc or ESP essence really trim the fat at the bass and open up the treble. It has grea... | |
| Resolutions Audio Opus 21 VS. Cary 306 SACD My pick 'd be the cary 306. It is very balanced and refined for the price. It'd also depend on whether u need vol conrol.In my system, i prefered cary 306 to wadia 861 & 581 & 302. At the time, I listened only to digital. I really wanted t... | |
| Pass amps with Tube pre-amps tried arc ref3, bat 51se, hovland hp 100. All worked well. (Theoretically, hovland has some impedance mismatch and it was single ended.) I prefered all these over the x1.VTl would be great too | |
| Naim amplification with quad ESL Quads are 2805sCreilly, do u find Naim to be slightly dry sounding? | |
| Naim amplification with quad ESL Tried a NAP 200 with the quads using NACA5 and it sounded extremely good. I am also using MC2275 and now I don't know which one to keep. Reading the posts, some say naim is the antithesis of tubes but it is remarkable how similar they sound. My ea... | |
| esoteric x01 upgradable to x01 D2 Sorry, it'd be the D2 model | |
| Harbeth Experts Drubin, i find the Harbeths sound good with a variety of amps. They seem to prefer more detail oriented speaker cables, though. The Diamonds are better speakers in most aspects. The only drawback is that the ceramic midrange can sound glassy with ... |
