When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Folks, the soul of music is in the totality of the musical instantiation--composition, performance, recording, reproduction--not merely in the medium, regardless of format.Listen to the Gloria in J. S. Bach's Magnificat in D Major BWV 243 conducte...

If the choice were simpleton vs windbag. . . I shall choose the former. 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, could you get any more info on the new devices? X-01 Limited and the new P03/D03 combo would be of particular interest. 
Maple platforms
Curious about the mention of Lyptus above, I did some investigation. Lyptus is actually a hybrid of two varieties of Eucalyptus grown in Brazil. It is apparently denser and also cheaper than Rock maple and quite stable for woodworking/milling. Eve... 
Reference Transports: An overall perspective
Exlibris, I believe Mgottlieb uses a Teac X-01 as a transport connected to a DCS stack. He prefers the Teac transport over the DCS Verdi. But I'd rather let him comment about sonic differences. 
Maple platforms
Has anyone tried Brazilian Pernambuco or American Ironwood? They are both used to make the best bows for string instruments. 
Reference Transports: An overall perspective
In the Teac lineup, besides the stratospherically priced P01, you may want to look at the redbook only P70. You should be able to find used P70 transports for just under $4K. Its VRDS mechanism is extremely similar to that used in X-01.

WHICH ARC LINESTAGE TO REPLACE LS-15?
Joel_hifi, I strongly suggest that you talk to Leonard at ARC about any 110V to 22V modifications. As ARC would perform any such mods, they are the prime source of info on it, if the mod were possible at all. Phone ARC at: 763. 577. 9700  
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
Tom, I actually prefer purely carbon-based, auto-hooking, self-playing and. . . most eminently and concretely 'tangible' 'jugs' and jug-generating systems. 
DK Design Group X-Dream - wow
AudioAri1, if only these things were 'jug'-based, I'd be the first in line to buy them. At least they'd be based on something 'tangible' and definitely enjoyable. 
Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium?
Thank you GeoffKait, I am glad 'sesimic' is but an unofficial variant of good old-fashioned 'seismic'. I was afraid I was confronting yet a new novel Age Physics other-dimensional phenomenon measurable only through Radionics-based apparati. Even i... 
Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium?
Very interesting. What are Sesimic vibrations? 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
Sounds good OneObgin. Please let us all know if you get an opportunity to listen to the new Helix series. Likewise I will post any further findings on Valhalla. 
VAC Ren II, VAC Phi, or ARC Ref 3?
Oneobgin, system synergy and personal preferences always play a major role. I am wandering if perhaps you have auditioned the original Anacondas, rather than the new Helix Anacondas. The new ones sound significantly different than the old one, and...
