Tidal Contriva Diacera or Aerial 20T V2
Hi Argyro. Regarding preference in music. I am not sure about up the Tidal line, but in the Piano series, at least according Jorn, the type of music does make a difference. What they told me is the Piano Cera is a better speaker overall than the P... 
AAD Q50 Speakers
I had the E-48s back in 2002. I thought they were as about as good as you can get at sub 1000.00s. Really good speaker with rock. 
What's the best system in the world?
Not sure a reference can be qualified. Everyone has different taste. One guys reference may be annoying to someone else. Can I ask why you are asking? Are you looking at putting together a new system? 
Does Technology Trump Quality?
If it sounds good, I could care less about the tech. I enjoy reading and learning about the technical part, but that is just the icing on the cake. 
Audio Research Ref5 KT88
I have the REF 5, but have not even thought about changing to the KT88. I did change my Cayin KT88 to the Tungsol 6550. I liked the 6550 better in that amp. 
Speakers for Simaudio
No doubt about it, speakers in room interaction is hugely important. I switched rooms with my speaker and it was darn right shocking the difference it made. I blew a lot of cash trying different electronics trying to make things really come alive....

Check out the WLM La Scala. Very good with Sim. 
Previous ref 3 owners, what's in your system now

Previous ref 3 owners, what's in your system now
Yeah, I knew that, but when the first post from No_Money appeared, it did not say Vandersteen, it just said 5a. How is one to know that out of all the multitude of audio and speaker manufactures out there they were talking about the Vandersteen?

What is the "5a"? 
Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60
oops, I see you were talking about the Studio series not the newer Gold Signature series. Sorry. 
Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60
The MA GS 60s is a very under rated speaker. And you are right, so many people do not have them set up right. Many are pairing them with not so good receivers, have a rack stand/TV between them, and have them back all the way against the wall. The... 
Cayin A88T amp section vs. McIntosh MC275 IV?
The VR4s are sensitive enough(91) the Cayin will have no trouble driving them at all so I'm not so sure you would not need more power. Plus the speaker plug in options on the back allow you to taylor the sound to your liking. Also, you can swap tu... 
Cary SLP-05 vs Dodd Battery Pre
I'm a little slow on the uptake here. So, are you guys saying the Dodd is one up on the Cary SLP-05 or the other way around? 
Most musical integrated amp you have heard?
Steve, what did you like so much about the CJ CA 200?
