Valhalla interconnects - recommended?
My goodness, I like Valhalla cables in many applications but not here. Especially if you have speakers like WattPuppies, IMHO that would be a mismatch. Definitely additional detail, and maybe or maybe not adding brightness, but with those electron... 
upgrade emm labs preamp or speaker???
I cannot speak to your speakers (pun intended), however I can speak to the preamplifier section of both the dcc2 and the se upgrade as I had mine upgraged to se, after a fair amount of time. I was using the DCC on a mac amp and alto be speakers. A... 
Beolab 5 - Four Questionable Technologies
I just noticed I was asked questions on your post.1. I question that review, only because that particular mag never ever in my experience recommends something that expensive, and it is clear the author had a prior thing going on the design of the ... 
I get 70 of the Live Symphony Experience at home
Well, it depends on which 90% of the experience you are speaking of. If we are speaking of the guy next to me talking on his cellphone, overpriced crap wine, impossible parking, and waaay too long lines at the bathroom, and the incessant phone cal...

Beolab 5 - Four Questionable Technologies
The Sensible Sound, of all magazines, highly recommended the B&O, for the sound and technology. I've never seen such an effusive review of a piece of high-end equipment in that magazine before or since. They usually love things for two grand a... 
Speakers with high WAF?
1. Put doilies on the wires... or little yarn people..problem solved2. White wicker speakers? Well, let's see it would diffuse the sound stage, especially around the tweeter, then you could make a bass node trap on the base of the unit, and around... 
How much does your system retail for?
Lebenty leben dollars, just like Br'er Rabbit. Actually I am in total denial of the cost... don't know, don't wanna know, and thank god I can write off a bit for research in my industry...The people in my head made me do it.... 
HRS M3 users
HRS ain't cheap. There may well be better/cheaper solutions but the science makes sense... each shelf being kept separate with big rubberized feet (they probably call them couplers) and heavy granite on top. I have one, I would probably buy anothe... 
Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ?
So, I was at Tommie's yesterday and listened to his Sonos system on his main system. It has the advantage of being hidden, and I like the remote on it. The sound going into his dac was very very good, certainly good enough for background music. I ...

Speakers with high WAF?
Any Sonus Fabers and some Ushers on stands. But find a dealer who has Sonus AND sells big pro audio monitors. Bring home the biggest JBL black vinyl clad monitors he sells first, preferaby used ones with Black Fly stickers on it. When she complain... 
Low price, quality cables for avalon ,CAT, shindo
10 years ago, when I got back into hifi, I bought watt/puppies and a krell amp/preamp/cd player. Thought i was the cat's meow. Tried a couple of interconnects for about 20 minutes... basically heard no difference, but, I did hear speaker cable dif... 
Low price, quality cables for avalon ,CAT, shindo
I have always found that Harmonic Tec Pro Silway II, for the money, especially now on audiogo, used, are a great value. I believe I have seen them here for less than 250 used. I agree with trying the Cable Company though, seems like a small price ...
