Resolution Audio Opus 21 s80 Integrated Amp
Bshapperd,Which Simaudio model were you using? I once owned a Simaudio i-1 integrated which was paired with the Simaudio CD-1 CD player. I didn't own the Opus21 at that time. Clearly, the Opus21 system is much more musical than the Simaudio combo. 
Paradigm Studio 20 v3 VS Ascent Acoustics Sierra1
Anyone else?

Arch2,My speakers are approx. 15" from wall to back of speaker OR 20" from wall to front of speaker. The bass is pretty acceptable but, like you, I prefer it tighter and more tuneful. It's somewhere between bloated & tuneful.Thanks.

Arch2,Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, as posted earlier, I'm stuck with my 16' X 10' bedroom. I sometimes wonder about whether they're worth their retail price. I like them and they really appear to be neutral. Some CD's sound horribly br...

I'm running the STS's thru the gear mentioned above but with the Bryston integrated instead of the Arcam integrated. The Arcam is out for repair but will be returning soon. When the Paradigm's were hooked up the Arcam produced smoother highs &...

Thanks to all of you for your insight & experiences. I learned some things and I'm still willing to learn more. It's difficult for me to audition different towers in my system. I don't believe it's worthwhile to audition in an audio store for ... 
Bryston B-60R SST integrated amp suggestions
The BCD-1, while sounding great with instrumental music, didn't impress with the vocal presentation of most discs. Vocals were presented as over-emphasized & raspy. The CD37, while sounding nice, is too smooth at the top end.Maybe the B60 amp ... 
resolution opus 21 cd player OPINIONS PLEASE
I own a stock Opus 21 system incl. XS & s80 integrated amp. I love it! I have no interest in the GNSC mods. It sounds great stock. I hear no emphasis in any frequency range. And what's really nice with it is you don't have to use interconnects... 
Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo
Drummermitchell,I went to Bryston's site (in fact earlier today) and took notice to their brand of IC's. I couldn't find any detailed info. on them so I put that idea aside. About an hour ago I spoke to Joe at Audio Advisor and decided to purchase... 
Interconnects for Bryston BCD-1 & B60R combo
Thanks everyone for your responses. It looks like some experimenting will be done. Rockadanny, all copper cables may be the answer. Silver may be causing the hyper-detail that I hear and am not very fond of. As I type I'm listening to a pair of Ba... 
Bryston B-60R SST vs. Arcam A38 integrated amps
Would anyone like to respond? I'm curious to hear what you have to say. Thank you! 
Simaudio CD-1 and i-1 combo
I own them and they are now breaking in (amp is new, CD player is a demo with low mileage). I've never heard simaudio products until now. My initial thoughts are their signature seems to be bold & dynamic but surprisingly musical for solid sta... 
Electrocompaniet ECD-1 or Audio Logic 24MXL
I own an Empirical Audio modded ECD-1 that is for sale right here on Audiogon. The modifications open up the DAC very nicely and I would describe the sound as bold & dynamic. It improved every source (from cheap DVD player to expensive transpo... 
Best DAC for Mark lavinson Transport 37 ??
Best? Can't answer that but I am selling my modded ML No.37 & Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC right here on Audiogon. I loved the combination of the two. Sound was very open & dynamic.Good luck! 
CAL Alpha DAC: Stock vs. 24/96 upgrade
Mark, Thanks for getting back. Also, thanks for directing me to the right tube at The Tube Store. I will order a pair of the Mullards. The price is right for me. The cost for a pair is $41.85 incl. shipping. A lot of tubes suggested in the previou...
