Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better?
But the EAs go lower than 40 hz, right?? I don't need the lowest octave at all. If I could get flat at 40, (like the SF Grand Pianos) I would be happy. I know Paolo_Italy can supply the old GPs at around the $ that I could get for my N805's, and I...

I must be screwed. Kevin suggested that the PV-11 is one of the most "ornery" preamps re: "tube finnickyness". I'm using rubber pads with foam rubber pads on top of them (about .5 inches in diameter) to couple speakers to the stands. The Rega sits...

Subs are hard to integrate, and the good ones are too much. I heard the Sonus Faber Grand Piano,with some high priced Denon receiver, and despite the setup, I liked what I heard. I bet the Sonus Faber EA is nice, and they go low for the smaller sp...

I Have Decided To....
I used Audioquest Opal x3 with good results. Later, I went to TARA Labs Master Gen 2, which worked a bit better, with a larger soundstage, but just barely not as accurate, perhaps a bit more foreward. Next, I used Audioquest Lapisx3, which is even...

Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II
I love my planet. I have only heard the cl-15, which is also an excellent sounding cd. The planet needs to be left on, for some reason, it sounds a little flat unless it has been on about 12 hours. THe depth increases greatly after a good month of... 
Meadowlark Heron i's, vs Shearwater HR's
I have owned neither, but heard the predecessor of both, the Heron, and the Shearwated, both in "standard" aspiration. I thought that the midrange of the Shearwater had an "organic" sound, which was nice, but perhaps a wee bit artificial...it's ju...
