Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please
Hey Dan, curious to know which product(s) he did that for. BTW, that sort of action reflects on REG much more than on the product itself, whatever it may be, as it becomes irrelevant when considered in that light.

This was one of my concerns (the other is the AD-DA conversion, which I still need to run some tests on, but suffice to say at this point that I do not notice digital nasties. At all.)I have tried very hard to pick out a coherence issue. Listening...

Swampwalker, this page may give you and tvad some idea of insinuation and related etiquette:http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/05/16/rs.phrases.to.avoid/index.htmlIf you are "too old to be a digital native", then you are surely old enough to...

EP has more in common with Zu than being in Utah and being my two fave speaker brands to date... they both operated with a limited dealer network. Zu started with direct sales and still do those, but have added the 'listening post' concept. Perhap...

Duke mentioned Druids. I might as well say here that before the CS2, I owned Definitions, and before that, Druids. Kehut bought my Druids when I got the Defs. I bought the CS2 after hearing them at his place. And the world turns.Re Zu speakers, yo...

Tvad: There are many ways of persuading. I am not interested in any of them, as I have confidence in my own ears and as the saying goes about art, "I know what I like".One method is that of insinuation, of using irrelevant examples or allusions to...

Some random and not-so-random observations:Every six months or so in high end audio there's another power cord, speaker, amplifier, digital source, (you name it) that's got the hot buzz among audiophiles. Within a year (or less), the latest hot-bu...

Jamnperry, congrats from me also. It is clear you are happy and I daresay anyone in your situation would be equally happy.For someone like me though, I'd still want both units on hand for an even comparison, and I would want to not be financially ... 
digital Amp. Going green
"An amplifier IMO is the least of our problems. If you want to decrease your carbon footprint you have to look at your entire picture. Your amp is probably .05%."Absolutely true. I also like the idea of low consumption but one must really look at ... 
ModWright Transporter
Shazam: "I went to the Slim Devices boards and read enough to see that for many people there wasn't a significant difference between the SqueezeBox 3 and the Transporter - even on a good hi-fi."I own both the SB3 and TP. YES, the TP is better, and...

I considered this but could not find enough comparisons between the MW and stock to warrant belief that it is indeed better. Different, probably. But different does not equate to better, just different.Unless updated since I read it, the 6moons re... 
Norah Jones a tinge short
Well, I sorta started this free-for-all and must chime in here, not so much on the Snore-ah issue (I've said what I wanted to say) but on the OTHER question: "Do women singers sing anything but love songs?".Hell-O? Can you say the one-of-a-kind Ni...

Ken, no that was a long time ago, different friend.

04rdking, at home we call her "Snore-ah Bones". The 'singing' is so bad it is almost painful at times. Someone needs to put her out of her misery. This is all the more painful as I have seen her illustrious father, the incredible Ravi Shankar, per... 
Usher BE-10/20, what do you use to drive them?
My 8871 (slightly different animal for sure) sounded best with a McIntosh, but make sure you get enough power, say 200w.
