Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A
I've listened to many of the Thiel models and most of the Dunlavy models. I wound up buying the SC-V's after listening to the SC-IVA's. Not to say that I didn’t like the SC-IVA’s. Then I moved up to the SC-VI's, my present speakers. Now speaking o... 
Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems
In reference to Lall's post, I agree (with sattothestarts) that if Globe Audio had been involved with this problem, they would have resolved this issue without sending the player to France. I can NOT say enough good things about Globe. Jody and Ma... 
Audio Aero Capitole MKI setup help.
What does leaving the door open accomplish? 
Resolution Audio Opus 21
Have either of you had CD50 or CD55 players previously. I'm curious how the Opus 21 compares. 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Badwisdom... Thanks for checking with AA...very helpful. If you do again speak to them, would you inquire about the volume control having to be in the 80-100 range, where-as with the MK I the volume would be at about 11 to 12 o’clock to produce th...

I have also experienced some difficulties with this player being able to play certain discs. AA has conveniently put a disclaimer in the owner's manual about the standards not being adhered to and, so, this player will not play those discs. I, for... 
Wadia 861 or Aero Capitole MK1?
RAL,You hit it on the mark on the balance point (SS amp & AA). I had always been an SS amp guy. The AA MK I did the right things in my system. Took some of the edge off the SS amp mids and highs, yet still has some good bass slam. The very rea...

Folks, keep those comments coming. I'm also interested how your opinions change as the player breaks-in.I guess it's only fair that I share some of my first impressions. Tighter bass than the MK I, but still carries the same weight. The high end i...

Badwisdom, I'm curious if your dealer listens to the Linn CD12 along side the AA? If so, what did he say about the two in comparision? 
Anybody try the res audio opus 21 yet?
Probably only those who attended the show have heard it yet. Latest email from Jeff."We begin shipping next week, right after the Stereophile Show in New York this week.Let me know if you have any other questions.Best regards,Jeff"He'll send you o... 
SS amps. Why so much power?
For me, it's a matter of bass control and slam. My speakers are 91dB efficient, but have 15" bass drivers. Lower powered amps just don't control the woofer as well, at any volume. Very noticeable in the low bass region (below 30 Hz). My $0.02 
Most beautiful violin recording you have heard
I agree with Rcprince, the Bach Partita No. 2. Very moving.BTW, does anyone know the name of the piece used in Young Frankenstein to woo the monster? 
Have you heard SACD?
I have not yet auditioned SACD in my home, but I have heard it in dealer environments. I tend to agree with Sbruzonsky. I opted for the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 tubed output player. Expensive, but worth the price when you consider how much my Re... 
Dynaudio vs. Vienna Acoustics
Vienna Acoustic's Mahler or Vandersteen V's. Both very musical. Both have solid bass.
