MAGICO Q1 vs dc10 Berlin SM
This guy was on the Tidal thread last week doing some bashing.

The Piano Diacera is magical, an uncolored transparent window into the original recording venue. With familiar recordings, background details that I never heard previously are easily revealed. When it comes to Tidal speakers, it's really all about...

I don't believe that Sonus faber would think that the Contriva is a copy of their design. Which version of the Contriva did you own (the earlier ones did not use Accuton bass drivers)?.

What kind of nonsense post is this?? What big Tidals did you supposedly own? 
Genesis Revisited
I agree with Mapman's eview but I am a bit disappointed with the sound quality. Very murky sounding like most of Hackett's recent releases, but musically it rings all my bells as an old Genesis fan. 
Elrod Statement Gold PC compared to old Statement

All I know is that when I needed service, the unit was shipped to Canada. 
Beware purepower inc
I have a Purepower 1050 that I purchased new from Walter Liederman in Feb 2011. In Jan 2012 it had to go back to the factory/service center in Canada due to damage which was NOT their fault. The unit was repaired in a timely fashion and for a very... 
Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MMM Monitor
I assume you are speaking about the move from the MMi to the MMM, correct? According to Bobby at Merlin, the only changes are the Cardas clear geometry cable being used in the internal harnesses, the jumpers and the rc's. He also said a full burn-... 
Avantgarde UNO or TAD CR-1 or Accuphase?
I think your room is too small for the TAD. If you like the Focal sound, you will be very happy with the Diablo Utopia.
