Your "DREAM" piece
Hi Beemer, thanks for sharing on this thread. On another thread titled, Silver vs. Copper cables, I left you a question regarding your experience with AZ Silver Reference interconnects, if you could go back and take a quick look regarding my inqui... 
Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that?
The VR4JRs have got consistent rave reviews from many different sources and more importantly, Geoh YOUR ears are telling you they are quite good. However, I would like to share two thoughts with you. First, how could you even be thinking about buy... 
What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5?
Eril, this can be a little confusing unless we define which generation of X-amps we are talking about. In the original X series the X-150 became the X-150.5 when Pass decided to add the blue meter to the front of the amp, which the X-150 lacked. O... 
New Shanling CD-T300 Cd player WOW.
Mattnshilp, thanks for your informative mini-review on your CD-T300. Would you be willing to share with us the other components in your system? Have you ever tried other DACS/TRANSPORTS or CDPS in this price range in your home system? Thanks. 
I'm in heaven:just got Pass X 250,5
Murphys33, well congrats to you to on your Pass LabsX-350.5! I wrote here on the GON a review of this amp and found to be spectacular in my system. What really surprized me is how much it out did my Edge NL-10, which is not to shoddy in its own ri... 
Is this ludicrous or not?
A few final thoughts about Ebaen's article concerning the Walker Extreme SST. When someone purchases a world class tube amp,for example something like the great sounding LAMM ML1.1's,they don't have to tweak them to sound like a world class refere... 
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 ...
