Phillips no longer producing transports
Stream Unlimited in its previous iteration was the Philips Audio Video Innovation Centre based in Vienna. They developed new technologies and modules for Philips into ready for market products. Whilst under Philips umbrella, this centre likely dev... 
Phillips no longer producing transports
Agreed Jafant, Rich and Nonoise made cogent points. I think the likely outcome is with cd sales declining, some manufacturers may go down the server route rather than tooling up to build their own transport and just see what happens in future. The...

It's great to hear of your success with the CJ amps. They are very musical I agree and look gorgeous. Now to enjoy the music!

Joe, did you buy the Art stereo amp, or the mono's? Great to hear they are best sounding amps you've heard. Very impressive! At $55k for the Gat & Art mono's, they're definitely out of my league!

Best Integrated, period.
I think the best integrated amp in the world depending on your system needs and personal taste would be one of the following; the Kondo Overture, Burmester 909 Mk5, Soulution 530 or Vitus SIA-025

Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1
Bol, your views regarding Siltech vs Nordost are quite unique. By that I mean I haven't run into any such similar comments before.

CJ & Avalon traditionally have good synergy. At that level i'd look at the Avalon Eidolon Diamond or new Avalon Compas Diamond. I also like the Indra's. 
Any updates to the Boulder 865 integrated coming?
Hi Joe, I asked my Dealer who carries Boulder about this. He said the next new Boulder products would be the new 2100 series, then a new 3000 series preamp. All that would take 2-3 years and then they might work on 800 series. I wouldn't say the 8...

Yes, you're a very charming when you're not hacking into people's computers, posting private information about them you harvested to attack them, undermining the sale of thier items, posting bogus negative comments in thier reviews, intimidating m... 
Speaker input, which one, Magico, Avalon, Yg, Rock
08-31-13: BhobbaThere are many people that go ga ga over the Magico, I am not one of them (dry and brittle to my ears), but many do. However musicality is not the usual reason given and IMHO, for musicality, the Rockport wins hands down.The same w... 
Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1
Bol, I respect your view of cables as we all have a subjective view of what sounds good or not. I personally find the top Audioquest cables such as Wel bright and lacking musicality. In comparison, I find Siltech's Royal Signature series has much ...
