Apr 28, 2013	Counterpoint - Alta Vista - Mike Elliott Thanks! for sharing. There are many fans of Counterpoint gear out there that will need a continuance of service/parts...etc.
Apr 28, 2013	Power Conditioners. One's system is a series of proverbial 'links in a chain'.I would venture to report that 10% of the overall system cost should be dedicated to line/power conditioning, especially if one resides in a major U.S city.
Apr 28, 2013	Complementary power conditioner for recent Hydra ? Ptss-the Hydra is great for Audio gear, simply buy Shunyata's top power cord for it.On the other hand, the V-Ray is outstanding for Video gear, especially Plasma tv.
Apr 28, 2013	Transparent or Nordost? Mo money-keep working your way up the Transparent MM2 cable/cord chain and you are sure to be rewarded.
Apr 28, 2013	Cary 303t Pro or Ayre c5xemp OP-what about stepping up the Arcam's top FMJ cd player?
Apr 28, 2013	World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Thanks! for sharing.
Apr 27, 2013	Scratched CDs Rockdanny-I have never owned a cracked CD? My thoughts are that it cannot be repaired.
Apr 27, 2013	Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California I cannot believe Brian was an 'hourly employee' ?
Apr 27, 2013	Transparent Audio? JPS? Nordost? Kubala Sosna? Nice! Thesiant519. It really is all about the synergy.
Apr 27, 2013	Anyone hear the new Thiel 2.7 speakers at RMAF? Nice! Cmalak,very good coverage. I would like a comparison between the CS 2.4 & CS 2.7 speakers. Additionally, I am stoked that Thiel re-designed the CS 1.7 speaker.Whichever model one chooses, you will need a robust power amp and/or mono bloc...
Apr 27, 2013	CJ ET250s or Pass Labs XA30.5 ---for Harbeth 7ES-3 R0817,The conrad johnson ET3 is a giant killer, IMO.Last year I heard it mated w/ the CJ classic sixty driving a pair of B&W 802D, the sound was phenomenal. That little power amp was completely controlling those big B&W floorstanders.
Apr 26, 2013	KIND OF BLUE Second note,a close 2nd CD is the 1986 CBS made in Austria edition.
Apr 26, 2013	Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California Strange indeed, Taters.
Apr 26, 2013	Transparent Audio? JPS? Nordost? Kubala Sosna? Thesaint519=how did you like both the MIT and JPS cable/cords?
Apr 26, 2013	KIND OF BLUE Warrenh-historically, the black triangle CD came directly from Japan around 1983/84. These discs are the most valuable and have the best sound, IMO.
