Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson?
@blindjim Jim, totally agree with you on top notch electronics enabling average speakers to sound "outstanding". I've heard it a few times and have realized that to short change yourself on quality components just short changes you on sound.@steve... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
@toddverroneYes, I have. Had it for over a decade. I really like pretty much everything Scott Herren does but really love Prefuse 73. That band rescued me from music exhaustion. Really brought back the joy and emotion that all the other genre's I ... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
@raindance You said "Progress will be when a "full function" preamp has useful tone controls once again..." -Wholeheartedly agreed; let's get some full function back. You may not have to use them most of the time, but they are sure a lifesaver whe...

@blindjim To add to my prior posts, the room I heard the Sabrina's in last weekend is 15.5 wide, 25.5 deep, and 9.5 high. It was also very well damped and the power is also well sorted out. The room was fully pressurized while music was playing. I...

@whitestix In regards to MBL, I'm right there with you. In terms of an ultimate system, I've never heard anything that can get close.

Hey Blindjim,Glad you are back up and running. 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
@milpai This comment is correct: there is NO best speaker. It is about what YOU prefer most. And don't forget component matching.I happen to like Wilson Sabrina's very much. I also like MBL very much as well.  
Nagra electronics
I heard the new Nagra Classic Amp (SS) with the Classic Preamp (tube) last weekend. They were paired with Wilson Sabrina's, Transparent Cables/PCs/power conditioning and the dCS Debussy DAC playing thru Tidal. It was a very good for sure. Very rev... 
Need a "PHYSICALLY" smaller and lighter amp to replace my BAT VK-200 at 70lbs

Newest Aqusition, McIntosh MA6600 Integrated
