| Anthem Statement D1 vs. Arcam AV8 I am going to answer my own question. I recently got a chance to A/B the AV8 and Anthem D1 at a dealer. The AV8 was much better in my opinion. | |

| Prana Deva vs. Nordost Valhalla Well, I am going to try out some deva interconnects so we will see. I will post my findings. | |
| Ayre K-5xe / tube preamp s comparisons? The people at Ayre really seem to push Cardas. It's just not my cup of tea. I've had it in my system and feel that it greatly colors the sound and limits the soundstage. To each his/her own. Although I haven't heard a ton of power cables, I really... | |
| Ayre K-5xe / tube preamp s comparisons? In my opinion the Calypso is better than the K-5Xe (which I own). If you go up to the K-1Xe I think it's a different story however. In the past I had a K-3X with a V-3 amp and Cardas Golden Cross interconnects with Cardas Cross speaker cable on so... | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? How much difference does the Mongoose cord make over the stock cord? | |

| Channel Islands D-200 or Ayre V-5Xe??? Denjo, I made the same mistake with the Ayre. I plugged it into some power conditioners and the soundstage just went flat. The dynamics were totally gone. Has anyone else heard the units and compared? | |
| Modwright CD player problem...HELP Purchased a unit from www.partsexpress.com called the DAYTON VIT-1 VIDEO ISOLATION TRANSFORMER and the problem is not fixed. Thanks for the help everyone. | |
| Modwright CD player problem...HELP I've noticed that the problem also disappears when I disconnect the cable line. | |
| Modwright CD player problem...HELP Why would it be present with one dvd player and not the other? | |
| Anyone with Vandersteen and Bryston? I own 2Ce Signatures and I would agree with Rex. Consider other amps besides Bryston. | |
| Arcam DV 88 vs Arcam DV 78 I have the DV88 and feel that the audio performace (especially at the price) is quite good for both movies and 2 channel. I am, however, looking for that little extra that I feel isn't there and am wondering if a newer version of the Arcam is the ... | |
| Binding Posts Too Small For Spades What Now? I had the same problem with Vandersteens. I ended up getting them reterminated with a smaller spade. |
