Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade?
Get yourself a Modright modded Sony 5400ES or Oppo 95 it will blow you away on redbook. I also own the MF Trivista with the CEC Model 1 transport and like the Modright better. 
Why Not More Conversation about VAC?
Podeschi I couldn't agree with you more. I am now using myaudiocable (MAC) in silver as the umbilical and like it better than Dan's new cable. The Sony player has that midrange that I have not heard in other players. I even compared it to the Play...

v2 and v3 should be matched. 
Review: Martin Logan CLX Speaker
I like electrostats too, but in 2 channel I prefer box speakers. I heard all the ones you mentioned plus Hansen (the King E), Y G Acoustics, Vivid Audio, Most horn speakers, TAD Reference 1, Marten Coltranes, Sonus Faber's flagship, and Focal Utop... 
Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4
Rfogel8 is right. We also have a friend that owns Martin Logans and an all Audio Research setup and he also prefers Wireworld between amp and preamp. He has yet been able to try the siltech between source and preamp. 
ZYX Omega or UNIverse?
I am using a VAC Sig 2 Preamp with an IO Signature phono with dual power supplies. The Universe sounds fantastic with this combo. I run it at 47K and weight about 1.95 grams. 
Sonicweld or M2Tech hiFace usb to spdif converter
thanks for the comments, do you know if Diverter will be at the Rocky Mountain Show or CES this year. 
Anyone auditioned the Cardas Clear? I have....
I have a pair of clear interconnects and they are very good. I, however like my Siltech better. 
Has anyone heard Sonicweld Diverter 192
Audiofun have you tried the Emperical Audio Off Ramp to the Diverter. 
Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player
If you can afford the Meridian you can afford the Sony and have it modded by modright, only 3000.00. 
Yamamoto YDA 01 DAC
I tried the ACK Dac awhile back that did not use any over sampling or digital filters and did not like it. I heard the Zanden dac as well. To me these dacs are good in the mids but a little rolled off on the top, not my cup of tea.

audiofun you were suppose to have the sonicweld two weeks ago, what gives. 
Tascam DV-RA1000HD Hi-Resolution Recorder
crna39 I have the Korg MR-2 portable recorder. I am not crazy about it, unless I don't know how to use it in the right manner. Have you heard this and do you think maybe the 2000.00 sony recorder is better. 
What to put under my VAC AMP/ PREAMP??
Darin, I prefer triode as you found out. I'm sorry but to get the sound you want you are going to have to get another phi 300.1 and turn them into monoblocks. Place new old stock RCA black base late 50's tubes in the two middle positions and place...
