Linkster, is there a US distributor? Tell us why you are so interested in the G2s. 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
Psag, I've had a problem with the concept of "musicality." My interest is in accurately reproducing music not musicality. I know there are many who say that we will never be able to get close to realism. The StillPoints, Star Sound Apprentices, Hi... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Audioengr, I only wished that they folk had listened to the BMC. Many of us think it is the best we've heard, but I would certainly concede that William's new server is better. 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
Americanflag, the quoted portion in my response to Jperry was not in the original review. 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Agear, I wish you guys had listened to the BMC PureDac. At $1790 retail it is the best production dac I've heard. I must use my prototype dac with my present music server as it uses the new JRivers MC 19 and outputs double DSD. It allows me to com... 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
Agear, it is just my opinion but I couldn't stand the original StillPoints. They used a less developed version of the ceramic ball technology and were not of stainless steel.I don't know what you guys mean by altered tonality or whether there can ... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
Mitch4t, I have known a B/M dealer since I moved from NY 36 years ago. I really don't know of any anywhere in Texas now. The internet is responsible for this. When I lived in Tallahassee for eight years, there were three B/M dealers and typically ...

Douglas_schroeder, I sort of agree. I find that if you hear anything, you have inferior power cables.

Psag, can you tell us more. While I got some improvement with the Ultra 5s under my BMC Arcadias, I always knew that I had been unable to use them right, namely the speakers were just sitting on the Ultra 5s. I was unable to thread bolts into the ...

Agear, I think vanity and being cheap greatly undercuts your expectation of makers of expensive gear going with the best. I remember what the manufacturer of Tidals and BMC Arcadia' said about my trying other footers under their speakers. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Mapman, as I said I don't care about your opinions.I cannot imagine that you really think findings come out of laboratories. I've been in three. They are typically a long work bench stuffed with parts and tools.As to your systems sounding good to ... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Tom, my experience was between 1976 and 1978 so I guess we are talking about different speakers. 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I don't think there are "responsibilities" for posters; I don't really care what many posters have to say; what I am mainly taken by in posting is enthusiasm; I know from my studies in psychology that people's opinions and perceptions are influenc... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
I agree. I know both David and Rick and both have been in my home. Neither is a shill for the other but I think Dave like me have just been throughly at first shocked by Rick's products and then amazed that he can improve on them.Also, I'm neither...

Tom, as I recall, the Dahlquists just had wooden feet. I don't recall any effort to control vibrations, but that was a long time ago. Were you a dealer back then?
