| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? Stir fried Chinese hollow vegetables and eggplants in Tobasco sauce on a bed of millet. . . Totally unbeatable! | |
| Vienna Acoustics or Proac Jozatko71, your room is likely big enough to use Vienna Strauss or Mahlers, but definitely at least the Beethoven Grands. You may want to try placement along one of the long walls to maximize staging. Vienna are fantastic musical instruments that ... | |
| Capri to the monoblocs 501, which cables? Clavil, I have asked about PC1 voltage compatibility: PC1 can be used with any input voltage, including European 220V 50Hz.As far as I know JRDG's listening room is being changed. . . I will see/hear it on October 9th during a tour of the JRDG fac... | |
| roland 501's vs ps audio gcc 500 Clavis, as far as I know, the answer is yes. Continuum 500 is equivalent to 501 + Capri + 1500W PFC + additional bulk capacitance. Guido | |
| Most transparent amp you've heard? I will tonight. . . 3mg Melotonin. Must be all this talk about transparent signals being molested by amps and speakers. I am a very urh. . . sensitive audiophile. G. | |

| Spectron Musician III - Can anyone comment on it? PSAG, setting up a pair of JRDG 312 as monos, can probably be done.. . you may want to check with JRDG. . . but if you were using Vandersteen 5 or 5As, the JRDG 301 monos may work better, as they are created for sensitive speakers. . . But I have ... | |

| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thank you Fsarc, I assume that by not denying the identity of 'brand B', you confirm my hypothesis of it being a PD MPS-5. Do you know if both configurations were equally broken in?I'd be interesting in you commenting further about the sonic advan... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Fsarc, what combination of transport, ICs and PCs did you use with the Theta Gen VIII? And could you give us some detail on how this combination may have exceeded in your view the performance of the single box PD MPS-5? [I can only guess that this... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Fafafion, have you had the opportunity of listening to the Pass integrated? To which other integrated amps have you had the opportunity of comparing it directly? How did it fall short? | |

| Hansen Emperor vs...... I only heard the Hansen Prince (?) last year at RMAF in the auditorium under less than perfect conditions. . . the impression was of a hard and etched sound. I'll make it a point to listen to Hansen again this year. G. | |
| New guy needs firstpre amp Jimmy3993, you may find that initially the imaging of Capri is only competent but not spectacular. . . let it play as continuously as you can for a long time. Imaging and staging will improve gradually to about 1000 hours. I found its imaging and ... |
