Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
All of this sounds promising and something to look forward to. I'm wondering about any improvement here that can possibly address the limitations of red book brick wall filtering at the high freq. level , or will that still be the final impassable... 
Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ?
Hey Diamond, I also own the MS5's...... makes you wonder if there will be a Euphonia etc MKII coming down the pike. 
The new Mcintosh MC 402
Good one Phillyb....enjoy! 
Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
Curious Mitch, I was under the impression that the Joule was the reigning champ in the "rich presentation, bass detail & weight camp", that the MKII update was how it got there, and the reason I'm interested in it...please keep us posted. 
Racoon fried my Monster AC Powerstation
Sounds like like the powercenter did it's job...sacrificing itself in the process....heroic, I'd get another one! 
Wilson Maxx2 or Aerial 20T

Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe?
Donaudio, how is the phono stage in the Joule? 
Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8
Considering the oft repeated "careful matching" when speaking of Wilson, I recently had to abolish my prejudices when I heard a demo at my local audio salon consisting of Krell evo electronics driving the new Wilson 8's. Reading the forums you wou... 
Klipsch Forte new crossover help
Try the old Xovers to eliminate driver or amp. The pulling part sounds worrisome, but aren't the connections to a frame , even so I think it would be pretty unlucky for both speakers to fail in the same way. Good Luck and remember; infusion of cas... 
Opions on the mac Preamp phono sections ?
The newest Mac preamps, C2300 and up have received kudos for their phono sections w/ both mm & mc + cartridge loading on the fly, comparable to many highly regarded stand alones. 
Shelby Lynne
Yes, hopefully she can now live up to initial expectations and make some consistently great music. 
Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8
Brianmgrarcom, I see in your system you have McIntosh electronics with your Wilsons. That is a combination you don't usually see and I've wondered why as I imagine they do very well together. Obviously you think so, can you offer a little insight? 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Bliss; (quiet letters) strings, wheezing accordion, electronics that sound organic & great vocals.
