Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors?
If you're looking for outlets to 'Do No Harm', I like the Porter Ports and Avatar Afterburner 8. To me the Oyaide outlets are colored, but that's my opinion. 
Harbeth Super HL 's Loudspeakers
Just a thought, have you tried pulling the Eclipses out into the room since you have 31 feet there, and see what happens?I can relate to your thought though, I sold my B&W Silver Signatures after nine years, not because I didn't like them, but... 
Just One Shelf...
Rob,I agree with Tom (Reubent). I have the ZVOX Audio Z-base 550 Standard under my 52" Samsung LCD. I like it alot!If the 575 is within your budget as it appears to be, I'd definitely go with it.Chuck 
Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology?
Brian,I did not try the QX4 with the QB4. I did use it with my $3,000.00 reference power conditioner.I chose my reference power conditioner over all of the other big names that I auditioned and had it for five years.In total, I had $5,500.00 in my... 
Anyone tried Quantum Resonant Technology?
I had a QX4 for a time and liked it alot.A couple of friends then suggested that I try a Topaz Ultra Isolation Transformer, so I bought of of those too.I still have my Topaz, and I've sold my QX4 and Power Conditioner.You don't have to downgrade a... 
Looking for suggestions for amp upgrade
I recommend the brand new Spectron Musician III Mk2 w/V-Cap upgrade listed here on Audiogon, direct from the company for $3,995.00.It's 600 watts @ 8 ohms, 1200 watts @ 4 ohms.I bought one and like it much better than my previous Karan and Burmest... 
Music from House, MD
Thanks MoFiMadness! That solo cooked! I was as impressed by that as I was when Prince played the solo on the Music Hall Of Fame Induction Show with Tom Petty, George Harrision's son and the rest. I didn't realize just how good Prince was playing l... 
EMM vs. MBL DACs
Jeff, Barring Gregm and my suggestion about replacing the GamuT. If you're convinced that it's the 781i and want to replace it and put the 781i into a second system, I have another suggestion. Since I intend to have my 581se upgraded to a 781i by ... 
EMM vs. MBL DACs
Jeff,I have to agree with Gregm. I have the Wadia 581se in my system.When I bought it, I had a Karan KA I-180 integrated amp. It sounded really good.I replaced the Karan with a Burmester 036 power amp and I liked it better, it wasn't as dark.The f... 
Blu-ray music discs
Are you talking about Blu-Ray Music Discs or Blu-Spec CDs?The Blu-Spec Cds are very good. 
Krell KRC-3 or Pass X1 Preamp
I had the Krell KRC-3 for nine years, it's a great preamp. They say that it's a classic!That said, I've never heard the Pass X-1 but would believe that it might be better.Hopefully someone with experience with both will be able to answer your ques... 
Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2
Just a thought, I you're itching to upgrade and you like what you have, have you thought about working on reducing your AC line noise, reducing your noise floor?This was suggested to me and it's been one of the biggest upgrades I've done: http://w... 
Review: Monobloke Woodworking Maple Amp Stand Stand
Larry,I'll let you kinow as soon as I try it. I received it Wednesday and we left Wednesday evening for Thankgiving with my family 120 miles away.The look and build quality is what stunned me when I unpacked it. I see that you have a Xentek. When ... 
Anyone have their Tri-Vista21 modded?
Eric,The one that I went to was the Accustic Arts DAC 1 Mk 3, and then upgraded to the Accustic Arts DAC 1 Mk 4. They're very good DACs. I've since gone with the Wadia 581se CD Player driving just my power amp. That let me get rid of:1. the CD Tra... 
Anyone have their Tri-Vista21 modded?
I had a TriVista 21 DAC too, and also thought about having it modded. UnderwoodWally brought up two good points to think about before doing this:1. You will not get the price of the mod back upon resale.2. If you don't plan on keeping the DAC for ...
