Jadis JPS2 vs ARC REF 3 vs Aesthetics Calisto Sig
Albert points out how logistically difficult this would be.It is tough enough to do this with just two products.I have just attempted such a task to quantify and describe the differences between the Callisto Signature and the CAT Ultimate. This ha... 
amp and pre for Soundlab M-1's
Or....you could try the Aesthetix Callisto Signature. 8-) 
Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ?????
Unfortunately Judge Judy has done it again to provide a response of zero value. I do not understand why such people post in these forums when all we get is a quick bashing. Quite honestly, this kind of 'contribution' to these forums gets old fast ...

Kevinkwann - What exactly is the value of your response here? 
Kubala-Sosna Cables..... I don't get it ?????
To answer a couple of your questions:You're not missing anything - these really are phenomenol cables. A lot of people are indeed using these cables. Do a search here and you will see this for yourself. And no, these are not the flavor of the mont... 
Magnepan vs. Martin Logan
Wow, what an excellent response from Duke.As an owner of Maggie 3.3 and 3.5 for 6 years, my experience with these speakers very much echo Duke's comments. And when I went to hear the various Martin Logan models on numerous occassions, I also exper... 
Problem with Bryston 14bsst
I would suggest a different approach. If one channel of your preamp has caused damage to one side of the Bryston, it will likely cause damage to the other side. Is this what you truly want to test? It's one thing to swap cables and channels if you... 
Audio Research Ref 1 or LS25 MK2 or BAT 50
Pbb: Please explain why you make a blanket statement to stay away from BAT equipment and then give no reason as to why.As I have posted many times here, I had an ARC LS5 II and III for a combined 7 years. This was an awesome product. And to all of...

Maybe you can find an inexpensive programmable remote, $10-20 or so, and have someone local program this with their Genesis remote. I have the Genesis Time Lens and I am in Minneapolis if you are anywhere close. If you have no luck, email me and w... 
Simple enough?
One power cable that has recently impressed me greatly is the Kubala-Sosna line. These easily bend and twist as they are wrapped in a soft fabric. 
Class D Amp For 'Stats?
Congratulations. Brian at EssentialAudio (also his A'gon name) has much experience with the JC-1s driving the SL speakers. He also has a lot of experience with the Atmaspheres and the CAT's. So I suspect he would be a good source of advice to get ... 
Class D Amp For 'Stats?
The whole issue of low impedance Apogee speakers and the H2O's ability is irrelevant. Since this is not the case for the A1's, discussing an amp that handles sub 1-ohm loads is a "don't care" issue in this thread.Pure and simple, if you have inves... 
Class D Amp For 'Stats?
I too have the SL A1's. Earlier this year I tried the H20 non-signature stereo amp here. Once I got passed the claimed "inapplicability" of these amps with MIT ICs, I had pretty much the same results with NBS ICs....the H20 was fine but not a musi... 
Nordost v MIT
John makes some valid points here. And based on what he initially writes, and my own experience of owning MIT 350 ICs, I can see exactly why they do work well with the Nordost. If one cable is soft and the other is a bit overly detailed, then the ... 
Bi-Amping Possibility, which direction ?
When I had Magnepans I was all set to finally biamp these speakers. Ultimately the change to Soundlab speakers changed tihs, but the one crossover product that appealed to me was the Space-Tech-Lab tube units. They were available in single-ended a...
