Von Schweikert VR4SR Loudspeaker
The ebony is an upgraded finish. 
Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium?
I would strongly suggest Grand Prix Audio. 
ISOLATION: HRS,SYMPOSIUM,SRA,ZOETHECUS??
Jjwa: I have found the Grand Prix Audio to make a HUGE difference. 
Have EMM cdp and DCC2 - what turntable to buy
I would hold off until right after CES. There is a new turntable coming out that will be launched at the show. It should be incredible! Sorry I cannot say more. 
VR4SR vs Opera Callas Divina
Tvad: I just re-read the thread and realized we might be talking about two different things. Von Schweikert offers Ebony and will continue to do so. The speaker I am talking about was a very limited production and extremely exotic Madagascar Ebony... 
Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario
Bruce_1: Glide2 has a very good ear and has listened to many systems. While I like the WB speakers, they are not really my cup of tea. I prefer a bit more lifelike sound. The Avalon's are certainly worth listening to, but I would strongly suggest ... 
VR4SR vs Opera Callas Divina
Tvad: Actually the ebony finish is a much more expensive wood. The signature is just a plus! 
Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario
Bruce_1: The Kharmas are excellent at micro dynamics and inner detail, but lack when compared to your Vandy's in the areas of macro-dynamics. The get up and go is much different and I think you will be disappointed. 
VR4SR vs Opera Callas Divina

Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario
Coming from the Vandy 5's, the Kharma 3.2's will have some advantages, but will leave you a bit wanting in the area of dynamics and bass depth. 
VR4SR vs Opera Callas Divina

VPI - HR-X or a SME 20/2A
No comparison. The SME is a finished and refined product. 
Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 7 vs. Kharma 3.2
Extemely different speakers. Maybe even opposite ends of the spectrum.Here goes:Wilson WP 7: Very dynamic, detailed and good depth in bass. With proper setup and amplification, good imaging, soundstaging and sense of space. Can sound mechanical, b... 
EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection?
Guys, I have been trying to post for the past 3 days or so and it seems that Audiogon is having a problem getting it to the thread.I cannot believe you guys are actually considering spending the kind of money being charged for an optical cable. I ... 
EMM & AURAL SYMPHONICS V2 OPTIMISM CABLE
Jjwa: I think it is ridiculous. Those I have spoke with that are experts in the field of fiber optics say it is absurd and snake oil. The comments made to me was "someone is going to take it up the ass!"Caveat Emptor!
