| Your Second System I am in the process of rebuilding my main rig and use my second rig 24/7 now. But my main reason for two systems is:One is voiced for less complex music with Jazz, Blues, Pop, Soft Rock, Acoustic in mind-Consonance Droplet 5.0 CDP as the transport... | |

| Red Wine Audio Isabella hahahahahah.....no, of course not. It is more like Ferrari vs Corvette. Different, but threels the same way. Than again.....who know what the results would be if compared side by side???? | |
| Dodd preamp vs. McCormack RLD-1 preamp Well, if this thing is going to get better with break-in, I'm all for it, I love it out of the box, and that with the JJs which most folks don't seem to LOVE - they sound might fine to me, but I am eager for the Amperex to arrive, I'm getting some... | |

| Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4 Knownothing, very good observation - dealers take notes. :)Ones again - it is not easy speaker to work with. I listen to 718 Be and AAD 2001 in the same room and the same gear and felt that AAD was far better due to ease of setup and less sensetiv... | |
