Recommendations of CD player for my system
Here is something new to consider. The Jolida 100. the Planet sounds like a vitrola next to the JD 100, and it only costs $900 new. It's tubed outstage will augment your electrostats beautifully. I use one for my Apogees and Pass equipment. I woul... 
Cheap Bryston active or Creek OBH12 passive?
Good set up so far. By all means DO NOT use a cheap Bryston. I know you can get them in your price range, but if you stick to that ceiling, you will need to try passive. I use a pre amp that offers both active and passive. I normally use the passi... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
Danvetc is correct. I use what works with high standards, regardless of price. I found a relatively inexpensive CDP that does everything I expect from listening to live performances. I bought my speakers for little more, but are sublime. Then I ha... 
If i had the money.....
KF- you know this, Apogee Scintilla <1ohms - the one and only.I'm using two twenty amp dedicated circuits and a Pass Labs 600 to power them. Pass Labs assured me it would only take one 15 amp circuit, but I thought, just to be safe... 
Ok this will be a good thread.

Subaruguru (I own two Subarus) very good and LOL. 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
Nrchy, at least you are on the right track now. The Krell is a big step up from what you were using. Now for the CDP. 
Shanling, Jolida, Cary, Tube, SS can anyone compar
Fs, there is a vacuum of info on the Xindak except that is a tube unit made in China. What tech info can you provide us? 
Pass X 250 vs. Classe CA 301 The final decision
Brulee, now I understand where you are coming from, and I fully respect your opinion. I, too am a tube fan. I haven't tried Pass X amps without tubes feeding it. One thing I like about the Pass is that it so graciously passes on tube characteristi... 
Pass X 250 vs. Classe CA 301 The final decision
Brulee, and your alternative? Meaning no disrespect to the afore(not)mentioned ?amp?, it does not follow reason that the Pass, which dominates in dynamic range and instantaneous quickness, cannot handle minute bursts as well. Because you haven't h... 
Pass X 250 vs. Classe CA 301 The final decision
Gee, if we only could demo everything. Jrud, did you digest the nine reviews each at audioreview for the Classe 301 and Pass 350? They are very instructional. All the Classe reviews, both negative and positive, are perfunctory at best, while all t... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
When I abruptly exited, I forgot to say, "I think I swallowed a bug." Let me correct that omission. I think I swallowed a bug. 
Ok this will be a good thread.

Ok this will be a good thread.
Your arguments are approaching the absurd. No one is saying other component consideration isn't important. What we "speakers first" are saying, they impart the greatest impact on your mind. I had one goal when I set out on my audio journey and tha... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
6chac, lovely and funny as usual. Is this going to be a reunion?
