Copper v. Silver IC sound
I know I will take some heat for this, but every time I introduced a silver cable or a set of silver cables in my system, I hear what I would characterize as distortion. I have a very wide bandwidth system and do not feel silver is more extended. ...

scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it?

Shunyata Python VS. Viper V2,Is there difference?
I cannot tell you what the sonic differences are, but from a technological point of view, Grant at Shunyata said the advancement in design was a huge leap.If you want to call Grant directly, his number and email address are on the Shunyata website... 
Looking for speakers to go with Graaf OTL-20 amp -
I agree with Brulee's recommendation of the Coincident speakers. From what Israel says, they match up extremely well with OTL's.Nice choice on the Graaf's. While I have not heard the lower powered 20, I have heard the big brothers and they were te... 
What speaker to replace ESL 63?
Detlof & Frap: Actually anything by that quartet is exceptional. They have also recorded the Mozart String Quartets which was just re-released. As good a performance as I have heard.

BAT VK-75 vs. ARC VT100 MkIII?
