speakers that rock
You missed two pairs of Piega P-10s recently. They do it all.....Shakey 
What is the affect of cd player?
rodman,My TRL modded Sony cost me 1100.00. The BAT VK-D5 we listened to is 12 yrs. old and goes for ~1300-1500. The Granite was indeed the 657 and it goes for around 1400.00 or so when you can find them on the used market. And from what I heard of... 
Reference 3A Grand Veena's
Did you make the drive to hear those speakers? Inquiring minds wanna know....Shakey 
What is the affect of cd player?
>Based on the reviews I have read, you would have to spend over $5,000 to better the Cambridge 840C<Don't believe everything you read. I have heard that player and my lowly TRL modified Sony universal player cleaned it's clock. I also heard ... 
Totem Forest Speakers.....
You won't get any speaker to perform optimally in a room like that. There lies your problem.......Shakey 
Reference 3A Grand Veena's
I haven't heard the Veenas, so good luck with that. As for the recommendation for the 3.6s, you would not be happy after living with the P-10s. As a P-10 owner myself, when you find something that bests them, please share. I am thinking anything t... 
the tough question: Which preamplifier? and why
Mrtennis if you thought the UV didn't sound like a tube preamp, then you will probably love the Cary. I say this because it is the typical (what people think of) tube sound. Warm and lush, but not resolving or detailed. I owned the UV2 and thought... 
Tube amps that kick ass?
The big Manleys and VTLs are always good choices. However, one that flys under the radar is a pair of Canary Audio CA-160 monoblocks. These will give you all the tube goodness but can deliver the mail in respect to dynamics and bass control. They ... 
Any VAC CPA-1 preamp owners here?
>Every piece of equipment I own I thoroughly researched on the net first.<Sounds like this time you are a little late on the research......Shakey 
TUBE AMPS-CARY, BAT or VTL
You might get more responses if you would post in the correct forum......Shakey 
Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass?
Madfloyd,This might help you.http://www.mercenary.com/howdoitknbmo.htmlIt doesn't look like something you should do if accuracy and lifelike sound are your goals.Shakey 
inexpensive preamp for Ayre V3 with Green Mountain
Nothing on your list will likely beat that used Sonic Euphoria balanced pre from MSS Audio right here on the Gon. No affiliation, just a happy SE owner. And it should work fine with your Ayre amp.Shakey 
Best sound ? Von Schweikert Vr 4jr or Aerial 10 t
I agree with Transnova. The 10T is in another league completely. To compete with it in the VS line you would have to go atleast to the Gen III HSE.Shakey 
I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake??
>I know to take all these with a grain of salt and only my ears will tell me.<Since you say you already know this, calm down. I don't think anything I own hasn't gotten at least one negative comment on an internet forum. But hey, I know my s... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
I would buy the best pair of Piegas 20K would afford me.Shakey
