Shunyata Denali V2 with Sigma XC power cable.  Made a believer out of me! 
To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question.

Conrad Johnson and Herron comparisons
Good input @cellorover, I have also received a Philips PC88 from CJ, sound good and more reliable than EH.  My Siemens sounds a little better through the midrange and top end and after probably 1000 hours dead quiet.I agree with you on the EH6922,... 
Conrad Johnson and Herron comparisons
I concur with jjss49 regarding tubes and the ET5.  I am using a Siemens EC88/6dj8.  Not only does it sound excellent it is a workhorse.I think CJ had a bad batch of EH 6922's and I went through several.   
Conrad Johnson and Herron comparisons
I own the ET5, it fits your description perfectly.  The biggest change for me going from a premier 14 to the ET5 was the incredible clarity from the new design and teflon caps.  It could easily be my last preamp.I have never heard the Herron but i...

New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Has anyone compared the prospective 2 and the pearl 20.20 with an audition?   I heard the former at CAF and fell in love.   They might be the only speaker that can pry my Thiel 3.6 and cs6 out of my system.i have a large room and although the pros... 
MIT Matrix rev 60 speaker cables. Has anyone listened to them?
Go for it. Once you go MIT you will never look back IME.  And Joe is first class.

Hi Tom Thiel.  Thanks for your insight on the 3.6.   Btw, I lived in Lexington in the early 80’s on Georgetown Road a couple of miles from the Horse Park.  Nice living and beautiful country.  Lived across the street from a horse farm no surprise. ...

Same with me Jafant - heard the 3.6's in the early 90's when they first came out and I was smitten -  25 years later still in my system,I also own the mighty CS6 but they cannot replace the 3.6!
