Preamp Deal of the Century
Just heard a Burmester 088 preamp. Has all the magic of tubes, and the strength of SS. It does not get better than this folks! 
Audio Research vs Burmester Audio
I have had a Burmester 089 CDP/DAC/Pre for several months now, and just picked up a 911 MK3, and I am blown away by sound of this combination. It is totally transparent, dynamic, detailed and the most analog sounding SS match I have ever heard, ev... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I would have to say hands down, it would be Venture speakers. The crystal clarity of the highs with it's transparency, the mids with it's life like human voicing, and the incredible slam in their mid-bass and bass. And on top of that, those beauti... 
Pass Labs 150.5 suitable?
Boy, someone kept awake during high school physics class.You guys sure know your electrical engineering! 
USB cable..what do you have.
The Locus Axis is awesome! 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
In my 30 years as a 'recorded music' fan, I have not heard anything as stunning as Burmester electronics, a company started by a musician/engineer. Burmester has all the virtues of tubes, with the quickness of ss. I had a McIntosh MCD500 for a yea... 
Electrocomp. vs. Hegel -The battle of Norway
Very true Bill_k. My Hegel H10 was outstanding for it's price to performance ratio. The whole Hegel line is quite a modern day bargain. I only went up to the amazing Burmester 911 MK3because I wanted to get the best amp in the world. 
Hegel Amplifiers
In all fairness to the Hegel H10, it held it's own pretty good against the more expensive Burmester 911 MK3. But, the 911 MK3 is much better in all aspects that one considers in a SOTA amplifier. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I will have to second the Burmester 911 MK3. Has all the virtues of tubes, and all the best virtues of SS, and all in a beautiful modern design. 2 thumbs way up!! 
Hegel Amplifiers
Thanks, and the new Hegel H30 mono's are also $30K a pair. :)

I bought the best amp I have ever heard in my life and it kicks the living shite out of the Hegel's amps. It is none other thean the Burmester 911 MK3.It has all the virtues of SE tubes and all the strengths of SS. Plus, it matches quite well with...

In a fit of anger, I sold my H10. So now I am on another quest to find a "sleeper" amp. But who knows, if I hear a popular amp and I like it, then so be it. I do appreciate the Audiogon member's opinions though. 
Review: Audio Aero Prestige SACD Player reference CD Player
I think we can put the AA Prestige to rest now. It was fantastic for it's time. 
mcintosh mcd-1100 vs ayon cd5s, audio aero cpdplay
I wish I could chime in because this is very important to me. I would like to add my Burmester 089 into the ring, just to know where things stand. One thing, the price difference is fairly obvious, but we know one cannot go by price alone. These a...
