New KEF Reference 5 speakers
Congratulations fast on dialing in your Ref 5s.  I may have missed it, but did you ever mention what preamp/amp the dealer was using when you decided you wanted to purchase the speakers?  I would be curious. 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
Will do jtucker. 
Mini-Rant: Human Fingers
I don’t mean to be dense here, but I don’t see anything close to 1/2" or 7/16" on any of my speakers or amps that the binding post wrench will fit over to tighten. I am only bringing it up because I love the idea and agree with n80. 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
There is what appears to be a brand new never used Diablo 300 for sale right now on A'gon for $12,300, local pick up Des Plaines, IL only, without a DAC or phono stage.  Just providing this to give an idea of the mark up (normal?) on these units a... 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
nyev, you have buying the gryphon in mind and nothing is going to change your mind.  I do the same when I make up my mind.  You are giving little weight to the reasons for not purchasing the unit, and then weighing too heavily the reasons for buyi... 
Replacing Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity Speaker Cable
ketchup, I deleted my last post just because I didn't want to advertise my new amp.  But the last sentence of it was that there is absolutely no degradation of sound from using the zobels, so I was surprised you are not using them. 
Bryston 4B3 vs Mac MC462 vs Pass Labs X250.8, OR... GRYPHON Diablo 300?
Quite frankly, your concerns seem valid and would probably stop me from laying out this type of cash for the unit. Its the two big show stoppers, having to ship to a heavy unit to a different country for repairs and an unknown as to the future dir... 
Talk but not walk?
I don't agree with a lot of Michael's posts, but I enjoy reading them, he knows how to communicate his ideas.  
Best Inexpensive Platforms
hi geoff, I was thinking of ordering the Extra-Large Brilliant Pebbles, I was wondering if they will break in before the end of the 30 day money back guarantee period?   
HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
Unlike the cave man wolf, I have installed magic fuses in my Schitt SYS.  Since it is a passive unit there was no fuse holder, so I superglued it to the side of the case.  Unfortunately, geoff convinced me that it was in the wrong direction and I ... 
Luxman 507uXi vs. Luxman 507uXii
From Luxman, sorry I no have actual experience as I haven’t heard any Luxman products in years. I don’t know if these supposed "enhancements" make any sonic difference at all. Incidentally, I was thinking about this exact unit myself when I saw th... 
Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen!
It sounds a lot like Geoff is going to have to ditch his Grados and dig out the lightweight headphones that came with his Walkman. 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Easy, Optimis by Radio Shack (formerly), or was it Tandy? 
HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
In the meantime, its a no brainer to buy yourself a Schitt SYS for $49.  It has inputs for two units, you can run your CD player and another source, so you can have music while you take your time and look for your preferred preamp.  You will not r... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
++noble regarding guido. To a couple of other posters, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. It’s much more fun without you two "telling" us what to think, over and over. It will be a struggle, but there are a couple of knowledge experts we a...
