Who's Enjoying the Pure Music App Besides Me??
I use Pure Music 1.72a with Hog, Memory Play, and Preallocation selected. It is exceptional. I tried Amarra 2 versus Pure Music 1.65a and thought PM was clearly better.

Cwlondon, if big or bad are what it takes, the Magtech is not going to make it. If powerful and clean is what it takes, the Magtech is the ticket. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Sabai, I don't understand what you mean in the sentence, 'When I removed an older power cord and swapped my Gabriel Gold Reflection power cord into the Tesla Plex which is my wall receptacle that leads to the Tesla Plex SE it was a day and night d... 
Words From the Wise
Armyscout41, all that seems true in your statement is one should buy what one prefers and that seems obvious. 
SHM SACD's need to be burned in
Rja, yes most of my SHMs are CDs but several are hybrids. I have played them both ways. 
Grand Prix versus Stillpoints
Ebm, on what basis do you claim the Symposium best? Perhaps in your personal opinion? 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
You could hear the difference from the ARTs at CES when you entered the SR room. I use both the original ARTs and two sets of the Basiks which I also use in my NM listening room in the summer. It is only 13 x 10 x 8.' They help it greatly. Still n...

I have about 50 of these and have never noticed any such thing. 
Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6
Ldworet, I have heard the $13,000 total Sanders Audio system in this last CES. The dynamic woofer and the arch-less electrostats mate seamlessly and play very loud. I own a Sander Magtech amp but have not used it on electrostats. I should also not... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Macrojack, you are probably right.Weseixas, I have two friends with Duntechs. One has the Sovereigns and the other Princesses. Both have had to have surrounds replaced. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I think it was Duntech as set up in Australia with government support. When that support was lost, John moved to Utah and got government support there, becoming Dunlavey. I do know that Duntech for a while continued the Sovereign under a different... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
There sound was great, but consider a $2000/pair speaker driven by a $25,000 amp and $30,000 preamp??? I would like to have them side by side with my LSA1 Statements ($2500/pair). 
Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps
The Sanders Audio Magtech amp in mono can put out 1600 watts per side but needs 240 volts. It is by far the best sounding "monster" amp I have heard. 
Grand Prix versus Stillpoints
Marc777, it makes no difference up or down. On components I have the heads up; on the speakers down. On the amp and turntable, I mounted the Ultras on the top of SP Component Stands in the up position on the sliders. This gives two levels of their...
