Cd player direct or through preamp?
I had my Accuphase dp75v into a ML 32 pre into my Edge NL12 with my Kharma 3.2FEs. When I took out the preamp from the chain, I was shocked at how the sound improved. The flow of the music was much easier on the ears, with a more relaxed sound, bu... 
Meitner DCC2
Just to add another datapoint to this thread, I am using an Accuphase DP75V as a transport into my DCC2 (via coax digital cable) and it is so astounding I am questioning the need for a Meitnerized transport with EMM Optilink Fiber. It is absorbing... 
Upgrade Accuphase DP75v to Linn CD12 ?
Baylebird-- thanks for the update! 
Favorite SS Amp?
I really love my NL-12; it may very well be my amp for life, I believe. No heat, extraordinary bass, very natural voices, unabrasive but detailed midrange, non-tizzy highs, nice depth. It just gets out of the way. As good as Lamms I have heard wit... 
Amp for Grado's
I use a Headroom Max with my Grado RS1s with great success, for what it's worth. 
Kharma ceramique 3 vs Sonus Faber guarniere
Jtinn is right. I have the Kharma CRM 3.2s and they sound totally driverless. Even when something is recorded hard-left or hard-right it does not sound connected to the speaker. The transparency & left-right soundstaging & image-sizing is,... 
Whats the krell sound?
For Dave: just curious, as a former Apogee Stage owner, any brief comments on the difference between the Apogee ribbon sound & the VMPS one would be welcome. I have never heard them directly compared. Thanks. 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Headphones work nicely. 
Review: Kubala-Sosna Emotion Interconnects Interconnect
The highs mellowed out after about a week of normal (3-4 hours a day) listening. I'm sorry but I do not have the speaker cable. I want to reiterate that I am most impressed with the bass; it is not the deepest bass, but it is extremely unassaultiv... 
Review: Kubala-Sosna Emotion Interconnects Interconnect
Quick follow-up notes. My demo pair was RCA-ended, the pair I bought for further listening was XLR-terminated.I bought them from GTT audio in Long Valley, NJ, an excellent dealer. -rgs92- 
Kubala-Sosna cables?
Please note my new review if you are interested. Thanks. 
should everyone just order emm?
Yep, Jonathan is absolutely right. Don't hesitate. I have heard it with my own 2 ears. 
from a Krell SS- FPB 600 to What Tube Amp ?
One more point, before you give up on solid-state, try an Edge NL-12. Smooth & relaxed as all heck, but still detailed without being "ruthlessly revealing" as the overused phrase goes. 
from a Krell SS- FPB 600 to What Tube Amp ?
I will second the recommendation on the Kubala Emotion ICs. After Cardas, Jena, Valhallas, these are the "it" cable for me, no forseeable upgrading after this. I could not believe the harmonious, gorgeous bass on my Kharma 3.2s, or the sweet, unab... 
Best headphones you've ever heard/used
I'm kind of repeating these comments from another thread, so please excuse me if you read this before.I sold my Senn 600s (they were claustrophobic & had a distant sound & miniaturized instruments too much for me). I replaced them with Gra...
