Electrocomp. vs. Hegel -The battle of Norway
audiofreakgeek is spot on regarding Hegel products. I have the Hegel H10 and it performed as well as my friend's Mark Levinson N053 mono amps at $55,000. The Hegel h10 is powerful, dynamic and throws a 3D wide soundstage. It loves to be pushed har... 
Venture Audio
Very good summery Malawar. Venture loudspeakers are indeed some of the best speakers ever. The fit-n-finish is to die for. 
ASR Emitter II or Burmester 911?
I have had my Burmester 089 now for several months. It's sound is nothing short of spectacular. At times it makes me jump out of my chair and yell, "Ya Baby" !!! It is the single most important piece of audio gear I have ever owned. 
Has anyone heard the hegel H70 Integrated Amp ?
Congrat's. You have bought into a great company, products and customer service, Hegel is outstanding. They are new to the US market, but they have been getting numerous honors and awards from the European and Japanense media. 
Burmester 089
Surferjoe. please put the bong down and go to sleep. 
Hegel Amplifiers
Yes, I talked to Hegel and they indeed are coming out with the 1400 watt H30. I was the first to ask them to come out with monos, as I was so pleased with their H4A and now my H10. I don't need more than 300 watts, but after hearing a set of Mark ...

ASR Emitter II or Burmester 911?
I just purchased a Burmester 089, their new CDP/DAC/Preamp with Reference parts. I bought the 089 based on my freinds 069 ($70K). Burmester electronics have the most natural, emotional and engaging sound I have ever heard reproduced music. 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
It is like a boob job. Too much and you are all over the place. 
Vivid Audio ???
Since they are designed by a x-B&W head designer, I wonder if the apple has fallen close to the tree? 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Simply put, Burmester 069 or 089 CDP/DAC/PRE. In my estimation, they are at the very, very top. All the sonic virtues of tubes and all the sonic virtues of ss. And I mean that in a very humble and forthright manner. 
Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?
I have met Kara on several occasions. She is one of the most intelligent, friendly and passionate people I have ever met. And her products reflect her passion and love of recorded music. 
Burmester 069
Just listened to a 069 last night again. I swear, I kept looking on top of the 069, to see if there were some tubes sticking out.
