New thread about FedEX
Why would anyone ship 2day air for a two hour difference. UPS or Fedex ground would have had it there the next day also. Waste of money in my opinion. 
Trouble Auditioning Hi-fi Components?
Another reason the high end is killing itself. 
Tube Experiment
Telefunken Falcons or the Cca. I changed to the falcons in my tubed Dac with great improvement over the Philips. 
BEST Speakers for the BANG around 2K
Tweekerman - you once again are commenting on a setup you have never heard - be careful - these are still boxes . The ribbons are coming along nicely - a very clean yet natural soundstage with good depth. So far so good. 
Has anyone heard the Kora hermes connected to a ..
There is no contest when comparing the two - which includes the ECM's XLR outs played at the same time in line1 and the Kora in CD of the preamp - you do not want to listen to the ECM by itself. Do not skimp too much on the transport - I used a Pi... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
I guess the Gallo Micro's may fit the bill here or just go with the Bose am5 's in white of course - I think it was designed by a group of wives. 
Opinions on Pioneer PD 91 and PD93 CD Players.

Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ?
The new Pioneer 47 plays DVD-A and SACD along with regular DVD, CDR and CD's. It retails for 1200 but with discounts you can get them as low as 799.

The differnce in sound from the Electrocompaniet to the Kora is significant even as good as the EC is.as a player in its own right. I would bet the Cary and others would be improved too. You also have an output option to increase from 2 to 5 v whi...

Has anyone heard the Kora hermes connected to a ..
I own a Kora Hermes with 24/192 but not the silver wiring upgrades. it is a great DAC - I upgraded the tubes from the Philips to the Telefunken Falcons and it brought things to a higher level. It actually has 3 inputs - 2 coaxial and one XLR that ... 
EAR preamp and phono products
I have an EAR 534 amp that really sounds great - I also had an EAR 834P which I thought sounded pretty good - in fact real good until I tried a friends Electrocompaniet phono preamp which caused me to sell and I now own the Electro ECP 1 - check i... 
What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre?
Adcom is always a good buy and price point. I owned a Levinson 38S - it was a fine preamp until I experienced the Mcintosh C42 - it is extremely natural sounding and versatile. It also has an 8 band eq which mostly stays in the defeat center mode ...
