| Looking for Amp suggestions or Avalon speakers Firstly, to my ears the sweet spot in the Avalon range before you move up into the Eidolon Diamonds are the Indra and Transcendent. Of those, I liked the Transcendent the most which sounded very natural & had wonderful sound staging, imaging &... | |

| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors Raf, fyi i'm my system i'm using Jorma Prime pc's which use the Oyaide P-004/C-004 connectors (one model down from the F1) are sound natural and well balanced top to bottom. My Gigawatt power conditioner uses wpo's designed in-house using brass co... | |
| Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors That's fair enough Rja. I currently own a tubed cd player, but will be moving to an all-solid state system with my next next cdp. I maintain that with the new Furutech GTX wpo's, the plating doesn't have as much influence on the overall sound as s... | |
| Which cables would work best? Nling, you do realize that magazines only give out awards to manufacturers who are prepared to play the game by offering reviewers gear for free, or at cost price & paying the Magazine $15k+ for full page spread advertising? And those that don... | |
| Siltech cable guages i.e. AWG I couldn't help you with clarifying the gauge of the cables you listed Bryston, suffice to say the new Siltech G7 cables are excellent cables imho & are built to last. Of the cables you mentioned, I use Siltech 330i rca's with my Oppo 103 dvd ... | |

| which preamp Neither. In that price range I would go for a good 2nd hand Aesthetix Janus Signature then upgrade it with Jupiter copper foil in wax caps & NOS tubes like Grannyring. Best bang for the buck "under $25k" imho. | |
| Australian Audio & AV Show, Melbourne Yeah i'll definitely post a write up & will take note of the better cd players. I'm interested as well as, my current reference is the Vitus SCD-025, so it would take a heck of a player to spank that. It's just a shame you can't post any photo... | |
| Vitus SS 101 V 101 MK II Hi Nobrainer, I have only heard the SS-102, so I couldn't comment on the differences between the SS-101 & 101Mk2. There aren't any reviews directly comparing the two amps, so I would go to the source & ask Hans Vitus. You can reach him via... | |

| Upsampling DACs Dave, another nice sounding player on a budget would be a 2nd hand Modwright Sony XA-5400ES. A good example sold back in July on the 'Gon for $1990 - http://app.audiogon.com/listings/cd-sacd-players-modwright-sony-scd-xa5400es-sacd-cd-player-2014-... |
