Question about Dyno 1.3SE and the new S 1.4???
The Dynaudios are very system dependant, and with bright room and / or bright electronics, will be fatigueing over time, and ultimately a mismatch.However, with the right eleectronics, the S1.4s and other Dynaudios are completely non-fatigueing to...

Get a new wife. Why'd you marry someone that won't let you enjoy your hobby? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
What would be the bigger upgrade... Upgrading the stock tubes on my Syrah to ??? or upgrading my Denon 103 to a 103R ??Thanks!Todd 
Rega P25 question
If you have a Phonoe stage that can handle low-output MC, try a Denon DL103 (or the 103R). I have the 103, bought the thing for 200 bucks, and it really is amazing. I previously had the Dynavector 10x4 which I certainly did enjoy, but I enjoy the ... 
B&W 805 versus Dynaudio 52SE
Our opinions are meaningless. Listen for yourself, and you tell me the strengths/weaknesses of each.Todd 
Correlation: Money and Good Sound
TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS REALLY COOL!!!! LOL 
Plinius SA250 or Gamut D200
Buy the Plinius - Not only will it sound better than the Gamut, the company has a stronger presence and existance in the market - which usually has a direct correlation to quality of customer service.By the Way - I use a CJ Sonographe 400 with Dyn... 
Which preamp to pair with Moon W5 amplifier?
Your electronics outclass your speakers by a large margin. If you're looking for more midrange liquidity - I would take an encompassing look outside of B&W. 
Who has listened to Sonus Faber "Cremona Auditor"
I heard em. They do the "sonus faber thing" with Diana Krall and whatever other crap that gets used to audition speakers. It lures people in, but it gets tiresome after a while.They absolutely BUTCHER rock. Meaning, they suck with rock.If you ONLY... 
Experience with B&W 703?
Oskar - Chizzill. I said that I don't know if the ones I heard were burned in, who knows. The electronics were good, (middle of the Classe range gear) the room was pretty good, the sound was bad. I certainly am not convinced that no one else could... 
Experience with B&W 703?
Who knows if the ones that I heard were broken in or not - I really don't know.However - I would strongly recommend auditioning speakers from other brands before buying the B&W 703, based on the lackluster audition I had with them. I have hear... 
Experience with B&W 703?
I recently heard the B&W 703s with some excellent equipment in a relatively well setup room. The sound? HORRIBLE. The highs were tizzy and bright, the midrange un-realistic, dynamics were lacking, bass was boomy and ill-defined. In all honestl... 
Does a non-audiophile have to calibrate?
The simple answer to your simple question is YES, anyone who takes the time to try will be able to tell the difference between a properly setup system within a room and a system that has not been optimized. Cables, on the other hand, maybe not. Th... 
Shanling T200 questions
It strikes me as odd that there are people out there who buy $3000 CD players and don't know whether or not it upsamples
