Anyone tried the new and improved Zen matrix?
Jaguar, I would be very interested also. I have both the silver reference and the matrix reference (old style), if you happen to have the silver reference to compare them to also, I would love it!Greg

I'm not sure that the pricing for new Paradigms you are thinking of is still available, I think it went up last year. When I looked at the Reference Studio 100s they were around $2200 or more for them new (forget the exact price), well over what I... 
SPL, Dynamics and bottom end
Interesting post Sean, I have done some measuring of these readings and I can give you what I remember. This is the levels I usually go for when I am in the room. My system is a home theater/music rig and I find I listen to things like TV at aroun... 
Recommended DVD-A Discs?
I would say that "Two against Nature" is very good. I just picked up the Blue Man Group "Audio" DVD-Audio and the quality is very nice. Both of the GreatfulDead's albums are supposed to be good, but I haven't gotten to hear them yet (I'll be order...

Thanks for all the feedback, and keep it coming if you haven't put in your two cents worth so far! I never realized that this price range was so interesting! 
Steely Dan "2 Against Nature" DVD-A passcode?
Same here, how about posting what you come up with, it would really be appreciated!

Hi Kirk, Are these all jbl's? I am not familiar enough with the model numbers to be sure.Greg

That should have been $300 per speaker or $600 for the pair. Sorry 
Swap Arcam CD23 for 9000ES trans and DAC?
I'd second the ModWright approach. Dan just got done doing a full blown mod on my Pioneer 38A and the improvement is incredible. Dan does a lot of work on the Sony's so you might also post to his forum located at:http://www.harmonicdiscord.com/for...

I would also consider the Legacy Classics or Signatures IIIs. I auditioned the Paradigm Reference Studio 100s, v2 at the same time as the Legacies and wound up going with the Legacy Classics. I was very lucky and snagged four of them with the fini... 
pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference?
Sorry about the confusion rwwear, to my mind the 38A is the predecessor to the 47A (actually, I would probably believe it was the 37, because of the price point they are aimed at), although I can see the logic behind you thinking it was the 10AX b... 
What do YOU think of My system?
Haven't heard the Moth SET, but I have heard the Sonatinas with tubes (Art Audio) and they were fantastic. Should be very nice.

We'll miss you, your posts were always entertaining and I've enjoyed them a great deal since I've been a member. Sort of sad to lose you this way, but I'm glad to hear you will still be involved with AudiogoN.Greg 
pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference?
I am the owner of a 38A and it's not $5000, you can get it new for about 950.00 (probably less now). The $5000.00 dollar model was the DV-10AX which only supported SACD in stereo, not multi channel. The 38A does also play MP3, though I can't imagi...
