Strickly Commercial 
AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
If a preamp uses a circuit board instead of point to point wiring you will hear the board.How about the one's mentioned hear including the preamp deal of the century. 
Quad ESL 57's...Best Spkr Cable?
Audio tekne is the best for these speakers. 
AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
The Aloia's are rolling out as we pen our opinions.The first units have been sent to reviewers and will begin to appear soon.Dealers around the country,including Audio Areo dealers,will have them for your direct comparison by late summer.I'm anxio... 
AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
I've listened to the Audio Areo now at the Montreal show ,a show in Europe ,and at a customers house locally.It is a fine player but not in the league of the Aloia.Inductive power as many reviewers and listeners are finding is the solution for com...

Use a gDVD/CD player as transport with a good DAC?
We have found the same problems with dvd players as transports as with cd transpots using inferior readers.Most DVD players simply have very flimsy computer type mechanics that don't really do a good job of transfer of data without a lot of artifa... 
Transport - will it really make an improvement
For anyone reading this thread JC Audio,s statement about Sanibel being a sub of HiFi Farm is 100% not true.They are 2 completly different corporations with totally different ownership.It is true however that I am affiliated with both companies.So... 
Transport - will it really make an improvement

FM Acoustics, who knows this company?
I visited FM in Feb this year and had a good look at some new things that Manual has that are totally unique to the world.His quality control is amazing and the work area is cleaner than the operating room of most hospitals.He has an enormous pass...

As there is a lot of misunderstanding of multichannel and why it sounds one way or another I feel ,after the past month of participating in some amazing demonstrations ,I must offer some of my opinions.As it is well known I have a strong affilatio...

Piega speakers extend to 47.5 k. 
Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270
I am a tenor dealer and think the amps are a good 19,000 amp but if you want the amps that stand alone at the top you need to audition the Audio Tekne tube amps.You also need to be prepared to spend heavy to aquire the best. 
The ultimate system? Cost no object
Check out the Audio Tekne page on our site.The total system could easly exceed 2,000,000 dollars with no cd system. 
which DAC to buy ?
I know what ever I say it will be deemed as colabration withIasi but as far as I know we have never talked.Sounds like the Kora is not all it's cracked up to be by the importer and a few users if it can't out perform a under 2000.00 cd player.
