Processor hunt....does this animal exist??
i'm thinking EAD as well. if you can't swing the 8000 or 8800 series, you at least need an ovation-8 (or an ovation and extra $$$ for the ovation-8 upgrade). the signature-8 would be even better. i'm not 100% sure if they're out of business. i've ... 
Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy?
i think you might wanna look elsewhere before dumping your thiels. i haven't heard the cs6, but i almost bought a pair of cs2.3 on my search for a speaker. i've heard a vr-4 gen.iii with an ead pre/pro and aragon 8008bb. i wasn't very impressed pe... 
Great cinematic audiophile moment
man, i thought i was the only person who's seen that movie and then skipped back to the stereo shop scene. audiophilia, it's a serious and sad addiction. however, my saddest moment was when i was thumbing through a playboy. one of the spreads had ... 
Anyone using Supratek amps
i think mick has been known to loan out a pair of his amps. i'm awaiting delivery of my chardonnay which should be shipping by tuesday at the latest. i'm interested in the burgundy monos, but doubt i'd ever be able or willing to pay $10k for a pai... 
Supratek Syrah and Chardonnay differences
syrah was the preamp with phono stage which was replaced by the chenin. the chardonnay is the line stage only. no phono input on the chardonnay. the differences between the syrah and the chenin are probably best explained by mick. shoot him an ema... 
Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay
playntheblues:could you provide me with some more info on the failed chardonnay's you mention? i've never heard anybody complain of problems with the chardonnay. it seems to me that as popular as they seem to be around here that there'd be several... 
Thoughts on the Supratek Chardonnay
you might wanna ask in the preamp deal of the century thread. i have a chardonnay that's being shipped to me. i owned an arc sp-16l over a year ago. i'll post my impressions of the supratek after i get enough time with it.

Preamp Deal of the Century
i placed the order back in august, but i made some late changes so that probably slowed it down some. 
Preamp Deal of the Century

cary v12 / gershman avande garde
i can't speak for the reference 3a speakers and i've never heard the sim audio w5. the gershman's are a very detailed and dynamic speaker. my cary's are 130 watts in triode as opposed to the 50 watts triode (switchable to 100 watts ultralinear) of... 
cary v12 / gershman avande garde
i own a pair of cary slm-200 monos and gershman avant gardes. the pairing is magic to my ears. i don't find the speakers to be mellow. they're very detailed in my opinion. i've used the treble boost before but i find myself always going back to th...
