I was curious about the comparison between the Ren 90’s and Focus SE’s. The Rens are a demanding load & don’t move as much air, or go as low as the Focus SE’s. Though I was amazed by the sound of the Ren 90’s at their price point, so I can onl... 
Vitus Sia-025 Power Cable Recommendations
@jayt201, I would try to get an audition of the Jorma Prime pc for synergy with Vitus. That's what I use in my system, albeit re-terminated with cryo'd Oyaide M1/F1 connectors.

@okeeteekid, You've owned some classic Infinities. I previously owned a pair of Reference 60's and Ren 90's. As good as the Rens were, technology moves on. My current Magico S5 Mk2's have all the magic the Rens had, but taking it much further. I'v... 
Awesome new cables from Jorma Design!
YW hddg. Jorma are great cables. One thing I really like about them is they're like Boulder amplifiers, in that Jorma spends as long as it takes to fully develop a new cable until he is fully happy before it becomes a new product, then leaves in c...

The ET speakers might be a good value option, though I would take a pair of mint Infinity IRS Omega's over the ET's 5 times out of 5, but then again I am an Infinity lover. The IRS Omegas were the last Infinity IRS speakers released in Infinity's ... 
Vitus sia 025 vs d'agostino momentum
@cyclopse, Yes I am 100% sure about the power specs of the current Vitus SIA-025. Vitus increased the power output from 100 to 150 watts in Kl.A/B about 18 months ago. Class A power is the same. By Hans Ole's own self admission, there are several ...

Why pay so much for super high end?
I could spend what’s left of my night and give you the hard answer, or I could finish this post in 2 minutes and give you the easy answer. So here goes..Yes I am pissing away all my money. Yes I like to donate money to thieves. Yes all hifi should... 
Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
Orpheus, that’s fair enough. I agree room acoustics are atleast as important as the equipment sitting inside the room. Because my listening room is also my lounge/dining room & the location of my system, adding room treatments in my situation ... 
Samsung buys Harman for $8B
I find it ironic that the company which turned 30 years of classic Infinity speakers into the world’s most pathetic garage sale are getting swallowed up by the new top dog in town. I mean, I wonder is Samsung can stomp on the ghost of Infinity pas...

inna2,871 posts11-19-2016 3:50pmYou forgot Gryphon and Ypsilon. Also, some Like LAMM or VAC are simply not interested in this. Nope, didn’t forget Gryphon. Ypsilon don’t make a CD player. As for Lamm and VAC, If they tell you they’re not interes... 
Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile.
The Stereophile rating system has become a joke since John Atkinson took over as Editor. That rating system used to mean something when Gordon Holt was in charge. Back then, Stereophile was dedicated to serious high end gear regardless of cost, an...
