PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo
I'm familiar with D'Agostino Momentum stereo and it should drive  Thiel 3.7 based on specifications.You should add Hegel H30 to your list.  I have one and is superb.  Again, base on spec it should the Thiel 3.7.   There are many professional revi... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
I have decade old 1st generation Monster speaker cables in my basement.   Several years ago out of curiosity I installed them in my system.   Didn't take 30 seconds but immediately noticed collapsed soundstage, 2D (Bo, were you using Monster cable... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I would not recommend your doing this. I didn't do this and had no problem. You might damage your component which might cost you much more. +1.   Actually I replaced stock large slo-blo 7A with a SR RED/Black 6.3A in my ARC REF250 without issue... 
Power Cable DIY - Please advise
I've replaced most of my expensive power cables with Nanotec #308 (thanks to @fork) and Furutech FP-S55N / FP-S032N terminated with Furutech NCF connectors so will report once everything settles.  So far so GOOD.I have CPT Equi=Core 300s an... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
From my research, close to 100% consensus REL is superior for 2 channel and JL for HT.  
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
zephyr24069, I'm driving the TAD E1s with ARC REF250SE and Hegel H30 (350Wpc into 8 ohms and 675Wpc into 4 ohms) in the summer. Preamp is VAC SigMKIIa SE preamp.   E1 is 88db @4ohm so easier load than your R1.  My room is fairly large so I need ... 
Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier?
Ripping people off for a living just to get ahead in life is incompatible with the purpose of great music- which is to inspire and uplift the listener- Not merely to show off "what you can afford".  Ripoff??  Is Boulder forcing anyone to buy th... 
Wilson Audio Haters
I have read that Wilson already has 25-26 pre-production orders !!I'm not on that list LOL 27 a month ago when I attended Alexx demo.Also Peter McGrath said he has personally performed 20+ Alexx setup at customers home, not including dealers,... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
OP is just a troll back from rioting after the election.   His story just doesn't add up ... who the hell would drive Wilson with Mac?  LOL!! 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
Melbguy1 prefers a thick and dark class A sound of his Vitus electronics so understandable why TAD is NOT his cup of tea. 
Cd Ripping - is it better to use inbuilt CD drive of laptop or use an external Cd drive
With error correction in ripping software, IMO quality of CD drive is not very important.   The software will read as many times as needed to get all the data, batch process.But in real time, such as CD player, where data is read only once, qu...

... and show an equal amount of compassion and empathy in helping those less fortunate, by all means buy whatever you want.  But perhaps your acts of charity might move your spirit even more than the nth degree of electronic sophistication in your... 
New Wilson - Wamm Master
I'm familiar with Rockport Altair II and don't think MSB mono amps is a good match.   Altair II sounded best with VTL Sigfried II monos.MSB with Alexx wasn't awful but lacked detail, resolution and little dark.  I think this is the 1st time Wi...

New Wilson - Wamm Master
I demoed Sabrina in the same large room as Alexx last summer.   I forgot the DAC and compared Momentum and 200iq with VAC SigMKIIa SE pre.
