Best amp for my JJ Electronics 243 pre amp?
I had the 243 a few years ago. Very nice preamp with a great and flexible phono stage. I mated it with a music reference RM9. Sounded very good.Shakey 
Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics
Having owned stock and modified McCormack gear, I would say the upgrades are well worth the cost. Unless you want to dabble in the tube arena, I would say stay with your DNA-1 and get it upgraded. It's pretty darn good SS sound to my ears.Shakey 
Piega P-10 vs Montana ESP 2
The Piegas to my ears are more resolving and less boxy than the Montanas. The Sophias midrange was not as detailed as the rest of the spectrum. The Piega had a more involving sound than either.Shakey 
Piega P-10 vs Montana ESP 2
BTW, it is the EPS-2.I have owned both and I can tell you the Montana is NOT an upgrade from the Piega. Far from it. You will not have an easy time replacing the Piegas. I tried to do it with Wilson Sophias and sold the Wilsons in less than a mont...

Some impression on Zu Omen Definition
That's cool. You sold me a pair of Roman Audio Centurions back in 03. You go through speakers like I used to. Those things were sure purty....... but I couldn't get em to sound very good in my room.Shakey

Is someone knowledgeable about Def Tech BP 2000
I had these speakers many years ago and used the line in for the sub. I can tell you this. These speakers are great for home theater, but lousy for music. The bass is boomy and ill defined no matter where you put them or how you adjust them.I hope... 
For those of you who have Piega speakers...
I only used them with Starsound Sonoran Desert Plateau cables. I didn't feel the need to experiment further, like some speakers need to be attenuated or tuned to taste. Like I said before, very neutral and true to the source.Shakey 
For those of you who have Piega speakers...
I can't even fathom such a comment about Piegas. I have only heard two models, but still, some of the best sound out there. 
For those of you who have Piega speakers...
I had a pair of P10s. I tried them with medium power tubes, high power tubes and SS. They do tend to come alive with more power. I liked them with a Plinius SA-102, but ultimately settled on a pair of Canary CA-160 monos which really made em sing.... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio Eos vs Callisto Monitor
Drew,Congrats on the new upgrade. I love my C3 HDs. I heard non HDs in a friends system, but hard to tell what the differences are unless you can hear them side by side. All I know is I am extremely happy with my pair. Roy is a genius who doesn't ...
