| The under 10K speaker I think you have many good suggestions...many of which I have heard some I have not...I would second the Wilson Benesch ACT.Kurt | |
| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's David, maybe the ESP Concert Grands on your short list?I had a chance to hear the ESP Bodhran SE's recently, which are the Concert Grands little brothers, and they were exceptional. They did have some electostatic qualities without some of the pot... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III I have not owned the Virgo II's but have heard them many times. I have owned the Avanti III's. Both are very accomplished speakers and the Avanti's are technically excellent...but...I tried very hard with lots of different gear and could never rea... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Confidence 5 speakers Transistor Research Labs (trl) 225 would be nice | |
| pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget Resolution Opus 21 at about $2400 used is hard to beat and if you send it to GNSC for the reference mods it is real hard to beat.I have a GNSC statement modded 860se which I have compared directly with the modded opus (very little to pick from...I... | |
| High power integrated suggestions please. Might fall down on aesthetics but I think the TRL modified marantz sa-14 and their integrated, the s-t225, would be a tough combo to beat sonically. | |
| Best John Lee Hooker vinyl old and re-issue Real Folks Blues is very nice | |

| J.C. Verdier 845 monos- anyone heard them?? I owned these for about 9 months and thought they were one of the best 845's I have heard or owned. I would put them up there with the Komura's and Nagra's. They are very well built and very nice looking amps as well.I also experienced an inmprove... | |
| Arcam SOlo vs. Linn CLassik...... I owned both at different times so did not compare head to head but based on memory I like the sound of the Arcam and I think it is a better built and looking product.The linn was nice just not as nice IMO. | |
| Suggestions on used CD Player with Volume Control I would stretch a bit ($2200-$2400) and get a used, latest iteration Resolution Audio Opus 21. This is an excellent player in stock formDown the road you can get the Great Northern Sound Company mod and have one of the very best Redbook players.I'... | |
| Can the RA Opus 21 rock better than a Wadia? IMO you can't go wrong with either. I had the Opus 21 and went through the difficult decision recently of having it upgraded with the GNSC mod or purchasing an already statement modded Wadia 860se.I am thrilled with the Wadia as I'm sure I would h... | |
| Can David beat Goliath ? Try an Oritek X-2 about $700/meterI don't know if it competes as I have never had these head to head but I do know the Oritek is excellent at what it does | |
