What speakers with Bel Canto
Tweak1 , excelent advise. Easy recommendation. One of the best if not the best in that price range and would stand tall against much more expensive speakers. 
Opera Consonance Linear 2.2 or Raysonic 128?
Not exactly side by side but more like room by room.In comparison: It is like Cambridge 840/740 and Rega Apollo or Saturn.Raysonic like Cambridge is very detail, forward and resolution to benefit the system with a little laid back characteristics ... 
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
It should open up at about 100h mark. It needs a little time to settle in. It's quaite normal behavior for new equipment to go through sometimes weird periods during breaking time. I would not worry to much about Mac, it will get only better from ... 
Is this when you have "arrived??"
Or realizing that his wife will never let him have it. That would explain the next visit. Is it a pull-out sofa?:) 
The Definition of An Audiophile
First of all, you CAN NOT recreate concert hall or any live event and the whole experience between 4 walls.......close to it??? maybe. It is just impossible. We get it. But I don't see anything wrong in trying to get the ilusion of similar experie... 
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
I wouldn't recommend silver cables in your setup. They might be to hot for your rig. Then again , silver cables are not created equal. Some are very good with little coloration and some poorly design are somewhat sharp, edgy and can project the il...

Need your assiatnce - tube preamp recommendations

DC/ Preamps
Hi Tfl303My desire to find super quiet, transparent and uncolored sound is on.From what I hear/read DODD or RWA might be the ticket.Eliminating AC from equation sounds like a promising solution to the problematic power issues.I realize that just t... 
Need your assiatnce - tube preamp recommendations
I (if everything goes well) should get Dodd Audio preamp in few weeks or so.If you want and and are willing to wait that long I can let you know how it sounds. I personally have very high hopes for this preamp.In the last 6 months I have tried/aud... 
The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
I am not sure how good are those 500's but it would be interesting to see Trends Audio T-amp in comparison. IMHO , with right speaker those 500's would have had a very hard time keeping up. I got two of those in bi-amp mode.Paid $200 for bought am... 
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
3-4 weeks , 4-6h on average per day should do it.It won't change much after that. IMO.You should hear its true capabilities and character after or around first 100h.Congrats on new amp.Don't worry , it will cool off with time .CheersMariusz

You have to be very confidant and bold with your design to make such a claim. It is extremely difficult to prove it , if not impossible.I am personally against claims of that sort but to my ear they sound great..............I would not say - THE B...
