Advise Needed, Best speakers for approx $15,000

How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21?
the opus 21 only bypasses the volume control the ouput is connected via a DIN connector.the opus 21 is meant to be partnered with dmn preamps, hence the din. i use a din-to-rca cable made with dmn solid-core interconnects to my preamp - which bypa... 
How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21?
i own the opus 21, but don't run it directly to amps, because i have multiple sources. i have experimented with it, however, and i could discern no difference. i attribute this to my preamp more so than anything else. (an ATC SCA-2), which is the ... 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
i haven't heard the cap 2, but i have heard other audio aero players.and the opus 21 is better than the AA i've heard - substantially. i feel that the opus 21 is the best player on the market next to the linn cd12. 
Power cords for active speakers--

Nottingham and Teres comparison
i auditioned a spacedeck before settling on my teres 255. (soon to be 265 - platter on the way)i thought that the teres had better detail, extension, and timing. the spacedeck, surprisingly to me, had slightly better overall dynamics. (hopefully t... 
"Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad?
as a user of active speakers (ATC 50's), i can tell you first hand that the usage of an active versus a passive crossover does indeed sound better.

if you search the archives, you'll find many people who have had similar experiences. it appears that the rega/grado combination is notorious for the exact hum of which you speak. i'm not sure if anybody's come up with a solution yet, but you shou... 
what's the best "mini monior" these days
yeah, cast another vote for the ATC's. i have 3 ATC 10's along with two 50's. they're incredible. just fyi: like most speakers, they are lousy out of the box. once broken in, the difference is night and day. 
A new ploy for fraud?
