subs for Sonus Faber Cremona M floor standing
I used to use 2 REL Stentors and withim the last 48 hrs have been fine tuning a JL f113 which already is outperforming the Stentors! Faster, more muscular and the JL has a sense of effortlessness that is just wonderful.(dealer disclaimer) 
JL Audio
Just purchased a f113 and have been listening over the last 24 hrs so still adjusting but at this point I can say it is very, very, very quick, accurate, muscular only when called for plus it has a sense of effortlessness in power (so that's what ... 
Escalante Fremont II
I had the original, never could get them to sing and then had to just about give them away at about 1/4 of their retail price! 
Passive preamp recommendation to my system
I owned a silver version of the StereoKnight and it was fantastic! Just sold it to a close friend who couldn't be happier.Good luck finding one that's wired with all silver, the copper version I tried was just ok. 
Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit?
Great job Peter and nice to hear again what loading can do when using a light weight TT or CDP. Enjoy 
Best phono for a Merrill MS2/Triplaner/Ort. AC90 ?
Anyone actually hear the New Valve Order SPA-II that Jeff Day just gave a glowing review in PP? I'm sure no one in the States has heard it yet but maybe someone is lurking from overseas that has one. Seems there is over a months backorder of this ... 
Vibraplane: Should it be loaded close to limit?
no it has not changed, the horizotal isolation is what we call a slip-plate technology which is one reason it needs mass to work properly.SteveSOS 
Comparison Living Voice IBX-R2 to OBX-R2?
Well I used to own them many years ago and paired them with some Border patrol amps. I found the speaker required a LOT more power than their specs would indicate to come alive. The other concern was using the outboard crossover. It took 2 sets of... 
Tannoy Kensington Se vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
I've listened to the Canterbury SE and a 12" PHY driver system both are wonderful with the PHY a bit more natural but doesn't have the bottom end or play as loud as the Canterburys. Try and have a listen to any PHY based speaker, once heard it's h... 
Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
I have found Ocellia cables to be one of the best kept secrets in audio, unfortunately their prices have just been increased as of September. Between the price of silver and there hasn't been a price increase in a long time, still a great value an... 
What time do you wear?
MIH -an annual calendar with only 9 moving parts! Do a search it's just amazing. 
PAD speaker cable differences
RSF, I've been using the Canorus now for about 2 months and initially didn't find it to my liking BUT after over 600 hrs of break-in on a cable cooker I find it amazing! It's quick, transparent, has incredible control and deadly silent. Have never... 
Modern Linestages
George you are correct that each active pre brings it's own sound to the stage but let's take it to the next step! Every amp, speaker, cable, line conditioner, room treatment and so on moves one system differently so by going with an active pre vs... 
Modern Linestages
George, I Agee that todyas sources do not "need" active gain stages BUT many do sound better than passives. I've been a BIG fan of passives over the last couple of years and have used them to great effect (but never tried yours sorry to say) but u... 
Kondo DAC : Why no reviews ??
The retail price hasn't changed in many years, it's 3,300,000 Yen. The retail price has gone up in US dollars based on the value of the Yen to dollar and at today's (8-16-11) exchange rate the US retail would be $43,000.
