Von Schweikert VR4II Vs VR4III
The VR4 gen IIs were and are certainly a very good speaker but not in the same league as the Gen IIIs.With upgraded driver technology,and the adition of the soft dome tweeter,there is a marked improvement over the the older Gen IIS.You get everyth... 
The"new" look Capitole
There is NOONE who has heard this player unless they were at the Montreal show.Period!Whatever your friend in Asia heard was not the the"new" Capitole,because not even GM new there was going to be a replacement.There is no dealer I am aware of tha...

Best connection, BNC, Balanced, toslink, ATT
Yet there are companies(DCS) that prefer the use of ATT.Let your ears be the judge. 
DVD/SACD on the Verge?
Another important factor is to get interesting titles that are not copies of PCM recordings.In my experience I have found just the opposite, that audiophile redbook will and usualy does sound better and good CPs than the SACD counterparts that hav... 
The"new" look Capitole
Dovetail.I would contact your dealer as this is a defect in the piece.It is the first time I have heard of this problem with the current version.This has been a trait of the new versions,and is the cause of the delay in release.IF your dealer will... 
The"new" look Capitole
There is no Capitole in Asia nor are there any for sale from France.As Jtinn mentioned there are only five in existence.He is also correct on approximate shipping time and unfortunately it has made some of my clients rather upset.From talking to G... 
The"new" look Capitole
The current("old") Capiotle has 2 volume controls.The one run from the remote is digital,and the one externally is analog.Most people keep the digital volume all the way up,and make the ajustment via the analog control usualy around 12 oclock.The ... 
Best Amp for under 10K?
How about the new revised Spectron Musician II. 
The"new" look Capitole
As far as I know there is only one Prestige and I have not heard it.With the introduction of the new capitole(which was received very well at the Montreal show.www.soundstagelive.com or www.enjoythemusic.com)I think it will also be revamped up to ... 
Any feedback on Von Schweikert VR4Gen.III
Any VSA speaker should be seriously considered as they are an excellent buy.The Gen IIS work best with a large room to get their full benefit.With the addition of the soft dome tweeter and the benfits of new driver technology all VSAs are a huge j... 
The"new" look Capitole
Interesting that this dealer has heard the new Capitole since none came into the country other than 3 for the Montreal show and they were shipped directly there from France.Globe Audio had not heard it until yesterday for the first time.Considerin... 
Thoughts on Aragon Soundstage Processor
Absolutely incorrect.The Acurus Act III and Soundstage are in no way similar other than the company was the same.Mondial.Totaly different cicuitry,everything is ugraded including power supply.Believe me,the Act 3 was a very good budget Pre/Pro but... 
Thoughts on Aragon Soundstage Processor
The Soundstage was the most underated Pre/pro out there.Build quality,true analog preamp acceptebality of DVDA make it a great buy.Go for it. 
ACCUPHASE DP85
When you reach these price points it becomes what sounds best to the listener.All pieces mentioned are top notch and let your ears be the judge.
