KCI Pure Gold and the benefits
I will do a full review soon but what I can say is the Silkworm IC's with Furutech XLR's are the most natural sounding IC's that I have EVER heard. I'm now using a Kci Source Power Cord on my CD player. More to come. John is one of the best I have... 
Best Integrated Amp? Help...
I used a Mark Levinson #383 with no problem with the 804's. I even used it with 803's. It worked well with my 802's but the Musical Fidelity kW500 was better suited for the 802's. Now I have a Primare I30 driving Kharma Ceramique Referance 3.1's a... 
Gold interconnect comparison help
Let me get this out the way first. John at KCI is one of the nicest people you will deal with in life let alone in our hobby. His "Silkworm" IC is the most natural sounding cable I have ever experianced. Period. I have no experiance with the other... 
Monitors for Sim integrated
My current system is a Meridian G08, Simaudio i7, Kharma ce3.1's. My room was built by Owens-Corning per my instruction. I was a sound engineer during the 70's and 80's. I'm now a music loving "Old Hippy", soon to be 54 with very good hearing(just... 
Best amps for rock and heavy metal
Don't laugh, but I dare you to try Rotel. 
Cary SLI-80 and B&W 805S, good match?
It would be a very good amp for your 805s'. I had 805 signatures with a Cary SLI-80 Signature F1 and it was fine. I have since sold the speakers and now have Kharma ce 3.1's. I STILL have the Cary and it's not going anywhere. Peace and Good Listen... 
Best matching amp for Wilson W/P6, any sudgestions
Don't laugh, after living with and loving, my suggestion is the Musical Fidelity kW500 integrated. It has caused 2 of my audio friends to sell their seperates and a 3rd to tell everyone how good this amp sounds. This is my first posting on this am... 
Consonance Droplet....anyone heard it at home yet?
I have one at home. In only 2 days it really came to life. It's the first piece of gear my wife made a comment on and it was positive. Not only is it built like a tank but it has all the audiophile qualities. It REALLY sounds great powered by a PS... 
Any good power cords with musical fidelity KW500?
You have a ton of power cord experience, but what works fine with mine(kW500)is the Zu Cable Mother. I bought mine here on aGon for a great price so I gave it a try. I was shocked at the sound. I got the extra detail I was looking for but I was no... 
Valkyrja speaker cable versis valhalla
You are in the position I was heading. Some reviewer's like the Audience speaker cable a little better than the Valhallas, but they prefer the Valhalla IC. Since you have the IC why not give the Audience speaker cable a try. You could re-sell the ... 
buying today,need your thoughts
I don't understand that they don't play very loud. I've had 804's,803's,and now 802's. Yes they love power but my 803's played extremely loud with a Mark Levinson #383. Turnitup1234, your last paragraph explains what the B&W will sound like wi... 
Best Match for Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Integrat
Musical Fidelity makes a fine player, the Tri-Vista SACD. They have a few good deals here on the Gon. 
Arcam fmj cd23, isolation?
I have mine sitting on stainless steel cones, points-up, with the cones resting on Canadian Maple (beautiful cutting board from bed,bath,and beyond) with the maple on 4 Vibra-Pods. The cones I had made by a millwright at work. He did a fantastic j... 
Cool Amps Needed for Eggleston Savoy's
McIntosh 501's, built like a tank, bullit-proof! A friend who is a Mac dealer had a customer bring in a 501 that his soon to be ex actually shot with a 32 and still worked!!! They sound fantastic. 
B&W Nuatilus
I bought my 802s from an honest dealer. I knew of the change and I went with the 802s because they are outstanding speakers and the price was right. I bought them early this past summer and I could sell them for what I paid. New is fine, but quali...
