Dynaudio Contour S5.4 vs Focus 380 vs ...
Without hesitation, the C4 if it is within budget and your amplification can drive them. 
JA Perspecitve Stereophile review
FWIW, I think it's all subjective and in the context of a system and room they are played in. My friend has a pair of Pulsar's which he raves on about and I heard them in a showroom driven by Theta solid state. I found them pretty bright and grati... 
CI Audio or King Rex PSU for Squeezebox Touch
Hi Audiofun, what difference did it make to your stock Squeezebox Touch? Did you use the Touch as a transport with a separate DAC or its analogue outputs and internal DAC?Thanks 
Moving up from Cardas Clear
Funny thing. I found some Golden Cross and am now considering picking up a GTX-D Gold or Rhodium.What receptacles are you currently using? Let me know how the GTX-D Gold sounds with the Golden Ref cabling. 
Cardas Golden Reference Power vs. Clear Power
Up for some help. Anybody? 
Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ?
Hi Opus 88How do the KCI Silkworm (not +) compare to Cardas Golden Ref or Golden Cross?I don't mind sacrificing speed and extension for warmth and body and would like greater bloom. 
Moving up from Cardas Clear
Camb, they still have Golden Ref but in my system , there is some sibilance with it although not with Clear even though Golden Ref is the warmer cable overall.Lall, Hexlink Golden 5C is supposed to be faster but less warm than Golden Cross or Gold...

Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets
Lcherepkai, thanks for your feedback. I was reading some of your early posts looking for a power cable and sense that you were looking for similar qualities as far as sound goes.Your report on the Oyaide R1 differs from most accounts. while it is ... 
Building a Power Strip, any advise?
Ozzy, how would you compare the sonic signature of the Oyaide R1 vs the Maestro? 
Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4
Hi again GuidoI forgot to add that from what I have seen, the Kiss is a deep speaker - deeper than my current Dynaudio's by about 1 foot.I currently place my speakers about 4.5 feet from the wall behind them. So with the Kiss, I will only be able ... 
Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4
Thanks GuidoThat was very informative.With the Kiss being driven by a pure class A Krell FPB 200c which from my experience is less resolving than the Continuum 500 in the treble but has more body, what do you think the results will be like?Is my a... 
Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4
HiAm already using Cardas interconnects so that is not the culprit.Anyone with experience with the Vienna Acoustics Kiss speakers? 
Vienna Acoustics Kiss vs. Dynaudio Contour S3.4
I tried the JRDG Continuum 500 in the same setup and it was bright too. An Ayre Vx R was not but lacked the visceral quality of the Krell. My feeling is that it's not the Krell per se but the matching.

Are you still using a Krell FPB amp?
