| Balanced Connections on the AA Capitole MKII CDP I was told that it is truly balanced...however I've read a post here somewhere stating that a Cap user has used both and they had similar gain from single ended as balanced so I can't say I'm sure. | |
| What is the sweetest sounding tube amp. CJ Premier 5's in triode are so sweet and lush with lots of power..selling around $3000. | |
| Wolcott Presence 220 monoblocks Amongst the most effortless and powerful tube amps out there..bass can put many solid states to shame..very fairly priced for the performance level..shines with stats. | |
| Opinions on preamps Though I haven't heard one yet, you should atleast check out the "preamp deal of the century" thread (or something along that lines) re the Supratek is said to outperform all pre-amps regardless of price. | |
| CJ Premier 5's - Opinions? I presntly own 5's in triode version..used to own 12's (ultralinear) a couple of amps back but never compared side by side..I can't say which one is better for certain it may come down to your system..I love both these amps the 12's are warm, rich... | |

| Having problems with sound out of cat/krell setup I've owned a Cat SL1 mk3 and a KSA300s...the Cat will impose less of it's own character on your system than the amp and is quite revealing especially in the midrange as it won't it cover flaws elsewhere in the system.. | |

| How good does it get? Steve..although I'm not too familiar with your equipment my word of warning after looking at your list of loudspeaker choices is that most of these speakers will leave you in need of major equipment upgrades..of the group I'd recommend(something w... | |

| Verity Parsifal Encore or Wilson Benesch Act 2 or? I would agree with Audio999's comments...although I don't own a pair (would if I could $$) I've listened to them several times and love them more with each listen, you should also look into the Sonus Faber Cremona at that price point. | |

| Anyone heard the new Cremona? I listened to these at the Montreal show..they sound incredible and the finish isn't as glossy as Amati or Guarneri but I don't have any complaints about how these look or sound whatsoever..easily driven by medium power tube amps which need not co... |
