Ensemble Isolink
I have owned the Isolink along with other Ensemble power products for two years. I think it is all great stuff. The isolink is the icing on the cake -- really does isolate digital signals from your cd player from the rest of the system. It does se... 
Any opinions on Copland CDA 289 CD player?
I'm a fan of the Copland gear in general. I own a Copland 266 model (2K). It is very well made, looks beautiful, works flawlessly, and sounds great to these ears. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Copland stuff, and I have heard wonde... 
Comments requested - Wadia 831 CD Player

I have another question for the P-10 owners. How much power do you need to drive these? Are you using solid state or tubes? I'm considering a pair with Aloia electronics. Do you need to Aloia amps bi-wired to drive these, or will one suffice? Than... 
aloia amp
I purchased the Aloia preamp last year. I've been very happy with it, but not sure how it would compare to you Adcom, which I know offers excellent value for the money (my friend has one and loves it).I'm on the other side of this equation: I'm lo... 
Aloia's and Power
Thanks to all for their kind responses. I believe I will have to give these Aloia amps a shot!Jeff 
Comments on the Magnum Dynalab MD-100
I just bought a MD-100. I can't comment on the use of balanced outs, because I'm running single-ended, but I can speak for the product overall.First impressions of the box: excellent build quality, love the ergonomics of this unit. The flywheel tu...
