Is this ludicrous or not?
Mghcanuck,I don't believe that Ebaen's article addressed the point of my post. I mentioned that I use Mr. Walker's Extreme SST and think its great stuff that brings a final resolution to an already great piece of gear or an overall system. My poin... 
I'm in heaven:just got Pass X 250,5
Overhand,congratulations on your new Pass 250.5! Nelson Pass and the boys at Pass Labs really worked their magic in this new .5 series haven't they. It truly is a qualitive shift towards the sound of live music,and not a subtle change at all compa... 
New Shanling CD-T300 Cd player WOW.
Yioryos,offered with good cheer,slow down! What do you mean by WOW? It's kinda cool looking but we have no idea what sounds like yet. Another aspect is that at 7 grand will it compete with other CDPs in its price bracket sonicly? It might turn out... 
Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables
I totally agree with Beemer,regardless if the cables are silver or copper you MUST try them in your own system to tell if you will like them or not. Paul when you audtioned the AZ silver reference cable was it the first generation or silver refere... 
Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000
Uriah,I would highly recommend the new Pass Lab's 350.5,which I did a review on recently here on the GON. I won't restate the content of my review,but the the 350.5 is the best amp that has ever powered my MG-20Rs.It replaced a Edge NL-10 that is ... 
Should I pay a lot for a DAC?
Winchell,yes a DAC can make a tremendous difference in the sound of your system. The Benchmark will sound much better than the Adcom. For around the same price I would suggest you try to Audition a Bel Canto DAC II. I believe it is better sounding... 
best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp?
Szutinglee,I'm Not a fan of Avantgarde speakers but totally agree with your recommendtion of Acapella"s,their great speakers. My only concern would be $ because to get to their speakers that really sing, because of their one of a kind plasma tweet... 
best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp?
No slouch,if your Jadis mono-blocks could drive the 3.6s,I know that tube amps often sound more powerful than their formal rated power specs,than I do not think their is a budgetary mismatch at all. The 3.6s compete with much more expensive speake... 
best 5-20K speakers for high-end tube amp?
No Slouch,since I don't know what is the watts/current drive of your Jadis845SE is it's hard to make a recommendation that would match up with your electronics. But with the music you listen to you might love the sound of Magnapan 3.6s that are a ... 
Magnepan Speakers - Ribbon Replacement
Cjlundgren,you are quite correct,the maggie ribbon tweeters do not have to be replaced over time because they somehow wear out and the sound changes for the worst. I have had MG-20rs for over ten years and have had two ribbons go out on me. So,unl... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,it was my pleasure to share my postive experience with the new AZ cables.Even though their more expensive than the Silver Reference II's they made enough of a sonic difference in my system that it would be hard to go back to my old ref... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Rsbeck,I hope that Lrsky has no regret posting what he did to give you a chance to get back on this thread. Even though your personnal veiwpoint about AZ's website has nothing to directly to do with what this discussion is all about,if it gives yo... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,the way Mr.Lee made it sound to me was the major expense was the new and different dialectic/insulation materials he uses in the Absolute cable. He did not mention anything regarding the metals used in the cables when explaining the hi... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,thanks for sharing the information regarding the type of metal used in the Absolute cables. I also talked to Robert Lee early today and he also shared he went from a teflon to an "air" foam material to insulate the cables. I'm no engin... 
Anybody traded in Pass amps thru AV Logic?
Overhang,you have nothing to worry about regarding your 2000.00 investment in going for the 250.5. After audtioning the 350.5 against a Edge NL-10,you could look at my review here on the GON, the improvement over the original X-series in the new ....
