PS Audio P500 and the ExactPower EP15A
I considered the very same. I asked Robert Stein of the Cable Company, who sells both and has tried both. He told me if I lived in an area with extraordinary pollution, I should go for the Exact Power, if in a more rural area, for the PS Audio. As... 
Pure Note Cerulean
rch10@ibm.net,believe it or not: The transfer question was of second importance to me. As I already wrote, I was willing, and wrote Pure Note so, to pay by a) cheque b) credit card c) Paypal. The only thing I really got annoyed about was not recei... 
Pure Note Cerulean
rch10, you asked "Why did you not pay by credit card?" International customers often do not do it because you may need to produce proof of payment to customs of even the postal system. With a bank transfer, I can get proof of the transfer from my ...

Pure Note Cerulean
rch10, sonic_genius, and others, and goners ask about your impressions/comparisons/experiences, they want a real answer instead of "Do a search, as there is much info on Pure Note". If there were, we would not ask. There are only two - inconclusiv... 
Speakers similar to Avantgarde horn
You may take a look at equally German-made, well-regarded horn speakers Odeon at www.odeon-audio.de, including an English version. They have speakers that start with 2000 Euros per pair for the Fidelio, I do not know about US-distribution 
symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV?
Gregm, I indeed missed that one about the mono amp. Always a good thing if the clarifier gets clarified. Cheers too! 
new speakers 6ohm where do I connect to my MAC
I do have Shahinian Diapason speakers, which consist of a module with drivers for the middles and highs as a 2-ohm-load, and a subwoofer as a load of 4 ohms - together a 6-ohm -load. I tried everything with my MC402: connecting the module to the 2...

Macjup and the others who have tried the Cerulean in the meantime, what have been your results, comparisons? 
symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV?
A few clarifications from a German audiogoner: The amp you are talking about is not called RG4, but RG14. Older versions can be upgraded to the newest version MkIV. The engineer of Symphonic Line always was, and still is, Rolf Gemein. Mr. Lindeman...
