Best CDs for vocals?
Hmmm I'll throw an odd ball pick only because I find these threads usually have the same names over and over...The CDHole - Live Through thisThe track "Softer, Softest" Yes I'm recommending a Courntey Love tune. I was shocked at how good this was ... 
Linn Components
"I’m tired of having to explain why I have chosen Linn."Then why start this meaningless thread? Don't answer that, it was a retorical question. 
Bryston vs Krell vs Simaudio
I have a SimAudio i-5080 which is basically an i-3 in a different package. I thought the Sim was a heck of alot better then the rather dry sounding Bryston. And that was a model down from what you appear to be interested in. I'd grab a SimAudio i-... 
Becks latest album...any good?
How good in terms of sound quality? I'm curious, I'll be picking up the album regardless. But hopefully something to look forward too. 
Von Schweikert VR2 vs Polk Audio LSi15
Hey Ffontan, I think I'm going to move towards the Gallo Nucleus Ref 3's they work better in a smaller room, and I have yet to hear them ( I will audition before I buy) but I've heard they are incredibly smooth, detailed and yet still dynamic at t... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Yes R_F_sayles, alot of this has to do with the weaker canadian $$$ value. Don't get me wrong companies like Reference 3A, Energy, Revel, Paradigm, Mirage are all excellent speakers and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Again, we have a benefit ... 
Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ?
Ask Bwhite what he thinks, you might be very surprised and could save yourself $8k. 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
I think many differences will arise because of sheer size alone. The typical listening space in an "english" system will be much smaller then a typical NA system. Quite honestly this is an approach dealt with by designers imho. I do however think ... 
What constitutes an AUDIOPHILE recording
air. 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
I asked the orginal question, AFTER mods how close is it? 
Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5?
I agree with Amywoods, I wanted to have my i-5080 serviced and they did everything they could to try and not service it. Eventually they told me I could open up the cover and check for myself, the standby button spring was pushed in, and I simply ... 
Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC
Hey Darkmoebius, I actually bought John's personal transport off of him with all upgrades done to it. I can't comment on wheather the C-Lock upgrade makes a difference but I can recommened using a Moray James digital cable with the Meitner gear. M... 
Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC
John already put them in my DAC, he did it as a favour because one of the orginal were faulty, not because I asked for better caps. I was just curious if they made a difference. I guess I'll find out when I get it and have time to burn it in. 
Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC
Ubglub, I know John personally, and own a modified Museatex Transport, he already built the DAC with upgrades last year, but a cap went, I sent it back to him and he put in Black Gate caps I was curious if anybody heard a difference just from the ... 
SS intgtd- Ayre; YBA; Sugden; Bel Canto; Accphse ?
I could be mistaken but I thought I read somewhere that pretty much every reviewer out there that goes to shows agree Sugden makes the best or one of the best amp's but refuse to pay the big bucks to get it into TAS, Stereophile. Regardless, I rem...
