H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
"Do the TacT amps have a digital out for people like me?"Muralman1- yes, it's called the SDA2175. 
H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
Muralman1- my comments are the same. If you're going togo digital, then use a devise that doesn't need/use feedback in it's design and eliminates the need for a separate DAC & preamp. Less AD & DA conversions and cables equals better sound... 
H2O 250 vs Mono's vs Spectron Musician III HELP
You should look at the TacT amps, the S/M2150, or the new TDA2200 or Boz amp. There are many TacT users worldwideusing high efficient horn speakers. Plus, the new amps offerdigital EQ and room correction features.

Drhst20- if you trust JFZ, you should also pick up "Life of a Song, Geri Allen," it's the best sounding DSD recording I've heard, and should be wonderful on your EMM Labs gear.

Has anyone compared a cryo-treated CD to one beveled with the Audio Desk Systeme and demagnetized with a Bedini or Furtech? 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Tbg- Mahalo for the feedback. From what I've read(TAS)the EMM Labs CDSD transport is greatly superior to the "troublesome Phillips." Your point about the Reimyo is well taken. Some people are not intested in SACD, and are still looking for a great... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
"let's try 2 get back 2 the topic at hand.."Henryhk- it would great if someone like you with EMM Labsgear could borrow one of these modified Denon 3910s and a DV50S and finally report how they compare. 
Where to place room treatment?
The peaks and dips you measured are typical of most rooms. Before you spend a lot of money on room treats, you should also check out www.tactaudio.com, they offer a lot more options than the Rives. 
What caps to use in my Cd player?
To answer your question requires measuring the actual working voltage across the 47uf/25v caps. Also is the power supply a linear or SMPS?
