Want to experience tubed CDP?
Rene, thanks for the suggestions. I am using a Signal Cable HC digital PC with the Cairn & Jolida. Is the VH a far superior cable? I've had good results with the Signal. 
Want to experience tubed CDP?
Newbee, I do like the idea that with a tubed CDP you can 'voice' it to your personal preference, I am just wondering if I will gain all the things that the Cairn does so right with a simple tube change? Some of the shortcomings (or differences) se...

Joe, I saw that Geoff would be using your Granite 657 on May 21st in the invite, but unfortunately I will be in Vegas that weekend. Well, I guess it isn't that unfortunate. ;)The Granite is on my list of players to listen to though. Hopefully anot... 
Want to experience tubed CDP?
Triode and Larry, I was simply floored by the BAT/Focal/Shunyata room at HE put on by Sounds by Singer! I would love to bring home a BAT CDP, it's simply out of my range at the time being. Someday... 
Want to experience tubed CDP?
Well, I brought home a Jolida JD100a and have spent quite a bit of time with it. It is a great player and portrays a very warm presentation. It soundstages like a champ, expanding the soundstage beyond the speakers; my Cairn seems to take it to th... 
Affordable subwoofer for music cont'd
The Aperion Audio S-8APR is a very musical sub and amazing at it's price point. It is a sealed passive radiator design. A great option when budget is the primary driver. 
What CDP & power cord for Plinius 9200 integrated
I used my Cairn Fog CDP with a Plinius 8200 for awhile. I then went to an all Cairn system and am using it with a Prologue Two currently. I used a Classe' CDP.3 and then the Classe' with an Audio Note DAC, and the Cairn easily topped both of these... 
Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind?
Spacekadet, the Winds are in a different league compared to the Hawks IMO. There soundstaging capability and effortless portrayal of the space leaves you feeling 'you are there'! I beleive they are worth the price, but agree with Sonance, that tha... 
Has anyone heard the Totem Acoustic's Wind?
I've heard the Winds at a local dealer and they were very impressive! They were paired with Totem's own integrated (a venture with Sim Audio), and I forget the source. I heard them with Krell monoblocks as well, but preferred the sound of them pai...

Small room Speaker suggestions
I am extremely happy with my Totem Arros in a 9x11x8 listening room! I highly recommend them! 
Need Ambient Speakers to Hang in Corners. Really
Totem Mites would be nice as far as size goes, may have a harder time mounting them as you would have to go into the cabinet though?I am currently using Aperion Audio's newest and smallest 422 monitor in a LR set-up. They are IN my Salamander trip... 
What is the best tube integrated amp?
Maybe not the best ever, but for the price the PrimaLuna Prologue Two has made me very happy! 
Jolida JD100 on the way
ecool_blue, just curious, what CDP did the Jolida replace in your system??? 
speaker with high WAF
Another vote for the Totem Arro's. Impressive (sonically) for their size and HUGE WAF!
