Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ?
Hey David12, psst, did you not hear that some people actually pay over $1 million for a house? I wonder if they wake up in the dead of night in a sweat? Naw, I don't think so. 
Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best
Hegel from Norway. No wait, it is only class A/B. Hegel from Norway. Who care about class A, it is the sound that matters. 
Your favorites amplifiers for their visual look ?
Burmester. Love that Teutonic chrome. And more importantly, Burmester sounds better than it looks (which is awesome). 
Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ?
I have a friend who has a complete Odin cable system, with Burmester and Focal Utopia3. Yes, is is nirvana at it's highest plane. But, I cannot get over the idea of having one's cables cost just as much as the gear. 
Consensus Audio Magma?
Excellent review, and some very handsomely made loudspeakers. 
HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
I am in the same boat, deciding between the new B&W 802 Diamond, Salon2 and Focal Scala and Andra3 
Utopia Skala / Alto speakers anyone hear them both

Burmester and MBL
I just bought the Burmester 089 after hearing the 069 for several months. I find this quote to be pretty much spot on," I find Burmester more analog and liquid/fuller sounding than MBL electronics." 
Hegel Amplifiers
I've had the H10 now for 6 months. Here is my amp history: B&K_Symphonic Line_Graaf GM100_Chapter Audio_Hegel H4A and now the H10. All I can say is WOW!! It is super quite, poweful and dynamic. And is also very musical and sensual for an amp o... 
EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01
I have heard the Burmester 069 for over 50 hours. It is simply the most dramatic, sensual, emotional and grain/grunge free CD source I have ever heard. I am buyig the 001 becuase it is in the Burmester family and will use it as a preamp, cdp and d... 
Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions
I took home a demo C2300 for 24 hours. It looks nice, but it did not envolve me emotionally.I am getting a Burmester unit.
