Usher Speaker Comparisons
You could do yourself a really good favour and forget the over hyped Ushers and go for a genuine high quality mini monitor, none other than the Lenehan ML-1s.I've had Usher Be718 (ho hum) and the Lenehan's (brilliant and no comaparison to the Ushe... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento's
Perhaps you can consider the Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated.I use it with SF Cremona Auditors and they make beautiful music.Look up Positive Feeback and Soundstage. I believe they both have reviews on this amp. 
Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri
I use an Accustic Arts Power 1 with my SF Cremona Auditors.Fantastic amp. No bells or whistles just top to bottom organic and musical sound. Amazingly sweet (i do not mean reticent) through the mids and top and bass is articulate and tuneful and f... 
Audionet ART V.2
Thanks guys for your response.I have the feeling that the transport is the real deal. I agree with it being a little bright. It's probably the inbuilt DAC that is the weakest feature. 
What Integrated To Match Cremona Audiors

Audio Research Sp16 tube upgrade
I have NOS Teslas in my SP16 which give greater extention and detail without whitening the sound.These Tubes are almost carbon copies of Telefunkens and the Hong Kong Audio society couldn't split them in sound.Please note that these are not the cu... 
Redbook Audio Aero Prima vs SACD palyer?
I own a Mk2 Model Prima and a Xindak SCD-2 which is an SACD Player.I have kept the Prima because it is superior to the Xindak on Redbook and sometimes so close to SACD comparing SACD Layer to Redbook layer in a hybrid CD that you have to wonder.Th...
