Review: Aerial Acoustics Aerial 9 Speaker
Todd, those are two very different speakers...I auditioned the 9's and I own B&W and have been listening to the whol B&W line and will most likely go with the 803Ds. But to answer your question, im my own view, the B&W has a differnt s...

Audphile...I think I am going to tackle that as a last step. I have always done things out of order and it seems to make things more difficult. What do you think about Kimber Select with this mix? Smooth and detailed.

This amp is getting easier and easier to listen to...I underestimated how unbroken in it really was. It was only used for rear channels and only used twice...Maybe it actually wasn't an exaggeration. More and more I listen, more and more I get eas...

Could be...My experience in the past with Nordost was too bright. 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
So at the moment, I am doing an A/B test between two single ended IC's in my system from source to Pre. One is my current Nordost Tyr and the other a lesser IC in the Nordost line up...Interesting differences. When I pull the Tyr out I loose a fai...

Dbld-thanks so much for your write up, helps to hear you had a similar experience. I am getting a set of Aud 23's just to listen to in a week or so. I will start my search with those as far as speaker cables goes, then move along if they don't wor...

Holographic could very well beat out SSD as well. 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
I am going to contact Krell tomorrow and ask if there is the possibility that they could have forgot to ad them etc, and ask them to send me some as well. I might as well see what happens when I put them in there. Although the more I listen the le...

I just opened the amp, and the the jumpers are NOT there..Meaning, caps are engaged, question answered. But who the heck took them off is the new question. 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Audphile1-you just answered a question I had in my head...I was wondering that last night when I was looking inside, if there could be residual electricity. I will be careful. I will tell, ya is marvelous looking inside this thing, incredible engi... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Audphile1-you just reminded me I have to call them..The directions on the coupling caps were less than good. I lifted the hood on it last night and was hesitant to unplug what I thought were the jumpers they were instructing. Things just didn't ma...

Nwavesailor, I hear you...But I stand behind most of what I said about the Mac though. At the risk of this topic coming up again, the MC402 still sounded slow, etched, not smooth, predictable, no emotion and so on-in my system...I got a very good ...

Aball, Cosecant resolved about 80% of the sibilance I was experiencing. I am at a loss for words with the sound of this thing. I am thinking the small remaining glare I might get could easily be resolved by a tweak.

There is no hold up, they're here now. Problem isn't necessarily the ability to manufacture audiophile-grade USB equipment. Technology is out there. The problem as I see it is very simple, and two-fold...The mass market is slow to adopt new techno...
