q3 magico
I take that as a compliment to the Tidals! I also think that the Tidal might work better than the Q3 in small rooms (particularly when considering the variogain room tuning feature) but for ultimate performance the Q3 is world class at its price p... 
q3 magico
As an owner of the Tidal Piano Cera, I have no problem with the reviewer comparing my $23,000 retail loudspeaker to the $39,000 Magico. 
Tidal Speakers owners
The 2010 (and current) retail price of the Tidal Piano stands just below $23,000. I don't think the seller was deliberately misrepresenting the price, but may not have realized that there was lowering of retail prices when Tidal established new di... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
Curriemt11, would those be the original Mini's or Mini II's? 
Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp
Give the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE linestage a try. Read the review on 6moons.com. 
Preamp suggestions
W4S STP-SE, don't be swayed by the low price. It is the real deal if you value transparency with musicality. Could be the best value linestage in the high-end. 
Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore
Firstly, are there any upgrades available to your Parsifals through Verity? I know there have been a number of tweeter variants in this design and if I'm not mistaken the Encore production run used two different tweeters (perhaps the Ovation tweet... 
Looking for "Last" 2 channel speaker system.
Tidal Piano Diacera or Piano Cera as long as you are considering Marten, Kharma or Consensus. With their tuning capabilities/adjustments, they should serve you well in the event you move. 
small companies making today's best products
Isn't Adcom out of business?

Bostonbean, I have the first production pair of Piano Ceras and live in Providence (RI). I can demonstrate them on Doug White's behalf. 
Accuphase A60/Accuphase A45
I once had an A-50V (50 wpc of Class-A) which had absolutely no problem driving Avalon Eidolons and Eidolon Diamonds, both of which are difficult loads. Seemed much more powerful than the rating. 
Review: Stage III Concepts Magnus Prime Cables Interconnect
Rtn, as is typical in so many audio speciality companies, I suspect that the value range in Stage III will be embodied in the Magnus/Magnus Prime signal cables and Vortex/Vortex Prime power cables which are mid-level products. 
Review: Stage III Concepts Magnus Prime Cables Interconnect
Rtn1, I am a great fan of Avalon having previously owned Eclipses, Eidolons and Eidolon Diamonds. Although both Adstew and I now own Tidals (Piano Cera), I think you will be surprised at the performance/vale of the Stage III products. I have tried... 
power conditioner for cd transport and dac?
I own the Purepower 1050 and have my power amp (Einstein LITD), linestage (Gill Audio Design Alana) and CDP (Reimyo CDP-777) connected and collectively the load never exceeds 19 percent under full operating conditions. It is my understanding that ... 
Review: Stage III Concepts Magnus Prime Cables Interconnect
I too have the Stage III Magnus speaker cable and Magnus Prime interconnects in my system as well. The Magnus (alas not Magnus Prime) also replaced Valhalla. Very transparent with great imaging, neutrality and extension. I only wish it wasn't so e...
