Tubes or Cables to Tune Sound?
Interesting thread, very well put Gunbei, a lot of variables, you could also borrow cables from the Cable Co. as another option. 
Cement to fill speaker stands?
The wallpaper decorator had visions of being in the cement mix after seeing Carmela !! 
B&W 7NT vs. Paradigm reference 80 for plinius mkII
And yet ANOTHER vote for,............you guessed it, Paradigm's. My friend is thanking me for telling him to get the Reference 80 V-2's also, just the same as the above post from Aball. Seems to be a fairly uniform consensus here, Paradigm speaker... 
What changes would make 60v2's sign
I have a friend that's running a Jolida RC 1501 integrated with a pair of Reference 80 V-2's with a Sony ES changer, he's still thanking me, his system sounds great. 
Help with value of Pink Floyd collection
Phydeaux, your website is far from o.k., it's VERY creative, I'm a Floyd fan with some out of print gold cd's, but if I were you, I'd keep your stuff, and your website, you might regret it, and want it back someday, trust me. 
A Mullard question
You might want to try calling Ken Chait at Advantage Tube Services, # 1-800-273-7234. 
B&K vs Adcom – opinions please
Yes I did Unsound, your right about the older series vs. the newer & Sean's opinions, he's knowledgeable. 
B&K vs Adcom – opinions please
I have to agree with Infinitebaffle, I still have B&K M-200's with Cardas output posts and Cardas cables, Shunyata P/C's, and they sound fantastic, just my 2 cents. 
CAL Delta/Alpha vs Music Hall CD25: A comparison
I went all out to see just how good the Delta-Alpha I've owned for seven years can get, Mullard tubes, Orchid balanced digital cable, Shunyata King Cobra V-1 on Delta, and a Cobra on the Alpha, this setup has really shined quite well, and even if ... 
Audio Note, Audio Logic, Kora Hermes Dacs ?
I'm glad to see some interested people here, we're ears of similarities, it's nice discussing these particulars and sharing thoughts on the very subject concerning this thread, this is what it's all about !! Thank You. 
Audio Note, Audio Logic, Kora Hermes Dacs ?
Yes Rcprince, Do let me know of your results, did I understand you saying he's replacing the tubes w/transformers ? Wouldn't that negate being able to change the tonal flavor and or flexibility of the sound ? Thanks for the input. ........Pat 
FOR CEC Owners
Interesting question, I would say that CEC makes great transports especially (TL 1X), (TL 0), & mating them to a tube dac such as the above post, a Kora Hermes, Audio Logic 2400, Audio Note 3.1 or maybe even a Cal Alpha, (which I own), would b... 
Warm, Deep Stage, S.S Dual Mono Amps ?
Calling Tunes4me & David99, tell me more, I've been awakened, give me some comparatives maybe, sonic characteristics please, such as presentation, depth, warmth, openess, dynamics, etc. 
Warm, Deep Stage, S.S Dual Mono Amps ?
Hey Tim, anything but a house note, of course ! I did some research and found that the Rowland model 3's, 6's & 7's (I believe) were dual monos, but that newer Electrocompaniet AW 220's are supposed to be pretty darn good sounding, and can be ... 
best CD transport available?
Mejames, I'm asking the same question, IF I don't buy the Capitole or Mephisto, the separates route will possibly be a CEC TL-1X transport teamed up with either an Audio Logic 2400 or Kora Hermes dac. There are some EAD-7000's and Theta Data's tha...
