Lowther Speaker Amp Recommendations
Definitely Decware. I had Lowther MkII Big Ports and have now switched to Decware HDT's. I use the Decware Signature Mono's. (SV83S) Super amps. Detailed, spacious, dynamic, inner-detail. They are amazing amps. You can actually use the SE84C-S and... 
SF POWER SE-w/ parts connexion upgrade??
I've done this upgrade. My Line 3 and Power 2 amp. The upgrade is SO incredible sounding. Soundstage (width & depth), dynamics and detail are day and night from the original equipment. Inner-detail is scary.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Chris does a fan... 
Wadia 270 upgrade to 270se???
I'll let you know. I'm getting mine back any day now. 
Cheap - effective A/D converters?
How about the Wadia 130 or 150 A/D boxes? 
Calling Wadia 861 GNSC Statement owners
I'm will be running a Virtual Dynamics Nite II on my Wadia 850.That's on recommendation of Steve Huntley.I tried a Silent Source Signature - wasn't inpressed. Presently I'm using an Elrod Statement II - very nice!!!Used to be on my preamp. I'm on ... 
Power conditioning w/ video projectors?
Try Richard Gray 400S MkIIYou won't regret it. 
Elrod Signature or Statement
I've run the gamut with Elrod. Each step up is very dramatic. Now - the Statements (I & II) are scary. The soundstage, width & depth, as well as the tonality, give me the 'LIVE' thing in my listening room. The bass has texture not just a d... 
Speakers for low level listening
If you like inner detail, depth and great soundstage - ProAc 2.5 or 3.8's depending on your pocket. I have 3.8's and never looked back! 
Siltech speaker cables LS-188
I have a 6' pr of LS-188's and I've got to tell you - THEY ARE THE BEST I'VE HEARD. I went through a TON of cables. (still have some of them)XLO, Transparent Audio, Signal Cable, mas Grey, mas Black, Audioquest, Shotguns, SVT's etc.You definitely ... 
Proac 3.8 or Sonus Faber Cremona
I have the 3.8's and wouldn't consider anything else. I do run tubes. 
All Sonic Frontiers System - Bad Idea??
I have SF Line 3 SE+ and a Power 2 SE+. Upgraded by Chris Johnson about 5 months ago. I will put this equipment up against MOST other equipment at more than double its price.Reliability has NOT been a factor. Sound quality and imaging are phenominal. 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Sign me up too!!I'd happily share any expenses. I am REAL curious if my equipment is doing as expected. 
Good preamp combo for Sonic Frontiers Power 2
I have a Power 2 that has just been updated by Chris Johnson. I'm using his Line 3 PreAmp. Both were upgraded to the SE+ versions.WOW!!!!I am also playing around with a Bottlehead Foreplay preamp.Nothing beats the Line 3 / Power 2 combination. I g... 
tube/resistor failure
I just recently had the same tube/resistor failure problem in my Sonic Frontiers Power 2 amplifier. No big deal. open the bottom, replace the resistor, replace the tube.I believe the reasoning is SONIC value. 
Shunyata versus Elrod
Elrod Sig 2's are for CDP & PreAmp's and Sig 3's are for power amps.I use them on my equip and have no regrets. I have Electrocompaniet CDP (24/192 upsampling) and Sonic Frontiers line 3 & Power 2. Made a huge difference once everything br...
