McIntosh vs. Krell amp for Home Theater
why limit your search to just those 2? 
Ayre C-5xe vs. BelCanto PL-1A vs DV-50S..
I have tried all 3...same for me too Ayre is a really impressive. Bel Canto is good but a bit somewhat dry...neutral but not in an involving way. Note Ayre is 2 channel only and no video if that matters to u. The other two are muti and have video.... 
Integrate amp for gallo refernce 3 speakers
Geenman, how wld u compare Edge vs Ayre? What about Plinus (spelling?)? 
Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel
Doesn't seem a lot of GONers have actually really auditioned the ASR....anybody who has it would be really interesting to hear what they thought of them a bit in more specific terms...by now there has been a lot of feedback on NHBs (thanks Mike) a...

I presume u are not using a sep pre-amp..? 
Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?
Elnerth 2: I noticed in a different thread u had not used the ST cable btwn the Meitner transport and DAC or DCC2. Huge, huge difference. Try it out. 
EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection?
Hey I live in HK! My dealer is going to get an earful. 
Is the EMM DAC6e or DCC2 /CDSD the best out there?
Elberoth2...well I guess we just disagree on what we respecitvely heard. Perhaps due to system matching. But yes EMM to me has far more "openess" and sense of air around the instruments...and that is what I like about it. Disagree about mid range ... 
indra users/fans---
Yeah, I kind of expected as much, Rgwrjs....though I do think the sep pre amp would have to be exceptional to better the DCC2, I do not there are "out there" Another project for another day as I think my pwr amp upgrade is biger priority at this p... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
This never ends does it? Although my experience is limited to the Sophias and WP7s, and unlike Fremer or Oneobgyn they were definitely NOT my cup of tea, I do not agree with the quasi claim that if a speaker does not use exotic expensive materials...
