Hydra 8 versus Trition
yep and bring your checkbook. it's not subtle...lower noise, better dynamics and MUCH better clarity. It's a injection of resolution...but even more natural presentation. nothing goes backwards....only steps forward... 
Hydra 8 versus Trition
I went from a Hydra vray2 to a triton. it's a BIG upgrade. nearly in everything. You'll know it's better in the first few seconds...then it get's better as it breaks in over the next month or so.Seriously worth it

Nagra VPS vs ARC PH7 vs Allnic H1500 SE
Hi there is a new Nagra VPS review posted a few days ago...http://www.hpsoundings.com/2013/10/review-nagra-vps-valve-phono-preamplifier/ 
Nagra VPS vs ARC PH7 vs Allnic H1500 SE
Hi I own a Nagra VPS (on a Nagra VFS platform which I feel is essential for this phono stage). I've listened to the ARC Ref2 SE phono in another system but it wasn't enough to sway me into a demo at home.I have had a Allnic H3000v at home. This ph... 
Oracle MA-X Phono Cable
Good cables, especially on phono applications make a difference. And even more so with lower output MC's. Others I've tried and used with GREAT results are the Purist Audio Designs Proteus Provectus Praesto and currently I am using the Transparent...

I've had great luck with a EAR MC4 paired with a Lyra Atlas...might be worth considering... 
GIK vs Real Traps vs Others
I'd consider a Rives Audio room treatment plan the either build or buy your treatments...bass traps need size usually and this lends to a build...my results have been outstanding with Rives. I had a mix of custom built and RPG products in my room.... 
Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini
Hi, I never tried that combo...but my (educated) guess here is yes. Plus you can always add pieces down the road...(The Scarlatti Clock now has a usb update like the u clock)Vivaldi is still I am sure much better...plus supports even more hi rez f... 
Dcs Vivaldi dac vs. Puccini
I went from a Puccini/U Clock to a Scarlatti clock, trans and DAC. This is a substantial improvement from the Puccini/Uclock in most every area.Used Scarlatti's are a great buy right now.. 
ayre mx-r versus audio research ref150
uwbadger...you don't have to turn the Ayre off however...it's designed to be left on 24/7 ....but you are correct...it really takes 2 or 3 days from full power shutdown to optimal state... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
Thuchan, I am with you. I have great analog and a great digital set up, To me, it depends on the software which is better...digital has come a long long way...I can only imagine how the Vivaldi improves on our Scarlatti...I'd love to try the dCS V... 
Can Digital beat our Analog installations?
czarivey, we're discussing clock cables connecting our wordclocks to the dac and trans...the cables aren't themselves the clock... 
ClearAudio Clarify Ground Wire
Is it just the insulation that's damaged? If so...tape should be fine...if it was the cable the insulation/ground shield, dialectric is much more crucial...
