Hales Design Group speakers....how good were they?
In my speakers shopping experience about 5 years ago, I tried to demo as much as I could in the under $20K tier. I purchased Hales Transcendence 8s at around $10K. It was my opinion at that time that to better the T-8s I would need to spend more t... 
Theater Pass Through wtih EMM DCC2
According to the DCC2 manual, which can be downloaded from www.emmlabs.com, the other analog line outputs to which you make reference are used solely when using the DCC2 as a DAC only and connecting the DCC2 to another preamp. The manual states in...

How are you coming up with the 8dB of gain figure? 
Tally up best preamplifier ever
I did an A-B with the Levinson 320S and the Nagra. The Nagra made the Levinson sound dull and lifeless.I then did an A-B with the Nagra & the CJ ACT2. The CJ made the Nagra sound dull and lifeless. 
Anyone listen to the new Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp
Cmach is correct. Interestingly enough, $7500 also is the retail price for their new MCH preamp. 
Anyone listen to the new Conrad Johnson CT5 preamp
My local CJ dealer has one but they claim 100 hours of break in time is required before any legitimate assessment can be made. They indicated to me it is the replacement for the 17LS2. In fact, they suspect it may be a baby ACT2 - 80 or 90 percent...

Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Has the well documented A/V sync issue been resolved? I had the DV-SP1000 for about 1 week. My Theta DaViD II was noticeably better on audio, whereas the Onkyo clearly excelled in video. I bought the Onkyo for video, not audio, so it did not matte...
