Totem vs Audio Physic / Schweikert
I have compared the Arros to Yaras....and can easily say that the Yaras are a different league. But then the price is also $700 more. Heard the Sttaf, but was not that much impressed as compared to Hawks. The Virgos are the best, of the models you... 
Another sign SACD is dying
Smw30yahoocom, I understand your point. My audio dealer gave me an advise - which is a very nice from customer point of view - don't go for SACD. He asked me to stick to the RBCD and enjoy the music rather than jumping into a format which has not ... 
Another sign SACD is dying
Smw30yahoocom, a lot depends on the entire system. Also it depends on the recording of the SACD itself. I have not yet come across a SACD that is too bright for my taste. I have noticed that SACDs that are PCM converted are a bit more brighter tha... 
Review: Quad U S A ESL-989 Speaker

Universal Players Denon 2910 of Marantz DV 7600
Hi John,I have not auditioned the Denon - so cannot comment on it.I have compared the Marantz 7600 with SA8260 for a whole day in my home. The SA8260 is a absolute classy player. Comparing the DV7600 to it - the DV 7600 did not loose ground. The S...

Eldartford, if you find anyone bash a format - disregard that reply. It is the worst a true audio enthusiast can do.To be honest with you - I really don't have in-depth technical knowledge about PCM or DSD. But the 2 bosses on either side of my he...

Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures
I have heard MF A5 with B&W 803 and they sounded very nice. Then they added Classe...and the sound went some notches up.
