What amp $1000 for Rockport Tech Mira Mon?
That's great, Sivert. I'm a big Rockport fan too.

Thanks!

Hi again, Slinker. I just took a look at used Merlins here on the site. I see a pair of VSM for $1795, or thereabouts. Just want to make you aware that the various Merlins have been improved signficantly over the years. If you are thinking about u...

Sure, Slinker, definitely VSMs. I just don't think you will find them for around $2K.

I'd specifically like to know how they compare to the RVG remasters.

I'd definitely at least consider used Merlin TSMs if I were you. 
PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?
I agree, Puremusic. 
Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett
I personally think he is a wonderul musician. He's not popular (or known) the way pop or rock musicians are, but he is probably the most popular jazz musician today - if one measures popularity in terms of how big a venue a performer can fill.

Hi Puremusic,I, too, have upgraded all components other than power cords - over a period of many years and many upgrades. My guess is you may already know this, but when I said something like "I might even say it is the single biggest improvement ...

Mert, This is what I said several posts ago:Isn't the point to be enthralled and love the music so much that you want to keep on listening? And isn't an effect on that a good thing ?! I'm not sure why you didn't respond to those questions, but it ...

Argyro: I am not upset at all : ) (I'm not sure why you thought I was) My only point was that the Statement Gold has made my experience of listening to music far more enjoyable - by leaps and bounds. It's not an opinion. It's the way my system mak... 
PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?
Notwithstanding the fact that I don't see where I said they "provide clean power", Argyro, if my system sounds this much better (and far more like real music...and I find myself looking forward to listening like never before), I *couldn't care les... 
PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?
Mert and Argyro,I respect and appreciate your thoughts, your experience, and your perspectives. And I cannot add much to Puremusic's statements, except to say - once again - that the proof is in the listening, for me. If you ever have a chance to ... 
PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?
Very respectfully, Mert, we can all make our arguments. The "proof" (or at least the "proof" for me) is in the listening. I'd be shocked if you heard one of the new generation Elrod cords and it didn't change your thinking. Without listening, thou... 
PC: KS Elation, Elrod or Stealth?
Caveat: I have not heard the Stealth or the KS.I have been using EPS Signature cords for years. The new generation of cords is a HUGE improvement over them. As Pentatonia said, I honestly could not believe my ears. Just incredible.One man's experi...
