Harbeth speaker stands
Skylan stands are excellent and Noel is a true gentleman and professional, but I thought he was Irish, not Scottish, and that his accent clearly was Irish.Neal 
Balanced to RCA adaptors
I have tried the Cardas adaptors and the BAT to run from my unbalanced Wyetech Opal pre to balanced Krell FPB 300cx. Both are very good but the BAT's, though more expensive, are better. I think Music Direct sells them.Neal 
Oppo 980H - Power Cable Upgrade
I use a LessLoss PC into Audience AR6 and it has made a significant difference from stock PC. On CD's, sounds like a $2500 player. Neal

LessLoss DFPC Signature
Drubin,I understand all your points. I am not fussed if the mfr. urges users who otherwise are pleased with the cords to report on their satisfaction on Audiogon, so long as they receive nothing of value for their positive reviews.I was one of the... 
LessLoss DFPC Signature
As the originator of this string, I really do not understand the cynical comments or those that suggest not so obliquely that the mfr. somehow planted the positive comments. I am a seasoned litigator with over 3 decades of experience under my belt... 
Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best
The Krell cx series is Class A. I have a 300cx for about 6 years and it is a very musical amp in addition to provising the usual Krell tight and deep bass. Only downside, if there is one, is that it has only balanced inputs.Neal 
Comparison of ARC Ref3 and C-J CT5
I haven't listened to CT5 or ARC Ref 3 yet.In the Opal,until a few days ago I was using Ken-Rad NOS VT231's in front and Sylvania NOS Tall Boys in back (I think front is input, back is output.) The sound was terrific with this combo. I recently su... 
Comparison of ARC Ref3 and C-J CT5
Thanks, guys. I have a long-term love relationship with my Wyetech Opal, and some recent tube-rolling has "renewed our vows." But like all long-term relationships, the eye wanders and . . . So I may try out either the CT5 or ART/ACT and see if the...

Thank you all for the comments. I will now try the Signatures and hope my experience matches yours.Best,Neal 
What is a good bookshelf
Spendor SA1's. Spendor magic with more sparkle. I got these a few weeks ago and the longer I listen the more I am impressed.Neal 
Daedalus
Well, at least I described it accurately. 
Daedalus
And just to round things out, there is a "glowing" review of the Da-Rma's in the current issue of stereotimes.com e-zine.Regardless of all these reviews, anyone who buys speakers without giving them a long listen first is simply rolling the dice.Neal 
Daedalus
Abramswatch,First, I did not intend to diss any owners of this speaker. Just reporting what I read. I have not heard any Daedelus speakers. I use a pair of similarly priced speakers - Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's (not current VR5's) -- and although I ...
