Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner
My point is simpleUgamotz spares no details in his system and also uses Valhalla PC's as well as the best power conditioners

HenryKnowing Ugamotz and his system I can assure you that you are preaching to the choir on this one 
The best speaker you ever heard?
"My Wilson Alexandria's with Audioquest Everest and Sky interconnects driven by SH-833 Monoblocks and my 27 watt Ongaku amp, 20 pounds of silver baby. May upgrade the cables though."I do agree about the X-2's. It is the best speaker I have ever ow... 
Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be?
McrheistI responded to your comments in the X-2 thread. In case you don't see it I will comment here.First off, your dealer is a jerk because if he isn't smart he will lose you as a customer and perhaps could even jeopardize his Wilson dealership ... 
Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room
It is very rare for a driver to blow. Usually the resistor will blow before the driver.Have you looked at the resistor panel to see if that is the problem. All too often I see posts here where people claim that they have blown a driver and instead...

Lamm ML2 - ML2.1

Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions
"I humbly disagree with Oneobgyn regarding tube rolling with the Ref 3."This is what makes this hobby so much fun. One mans passion is another man's poison. I love the Ref3 just the way it is but perhaps next go around in tubes I will take you up ... 
Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions
Only the very earliest Ref 3's did not have bypass caps and were added later by ARC at N/C if the unit was returned to them. All Ref 3's now have by-pass capsAs for tubes my strongest recommendation is that tube rollling is completely unnecessary ...
