The Ultimate DAC for Approx $10,000
Hi Clipsal,I have auditioned three of the DACS you have on your list. I only listen to Redbook CD's and by far the best DAC I have ever heard on Redbook is the Concert Fidelity reference DAC-040. Take a look at my review here on AudioGon for detai... 
Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 monobloks Amplifier

Genesis amp-does anything compare?

Magnepan 20R vs 20.1Rs
Bbro,The only difference physically between a 20R and a 20.1R is that there is magnets both in the front and in back of the bass and midrange panels on a 20.1R and only magnets front/back on the bass panel on a 20R.I have spent much time comparing...

BEST DIGITAL AES/EBU CABLES - 2011
I agree with what Neal said about the Stealth Sextet cable. I went through a very massive auditioning of highly regarded digital cables and found nothing better then the Sextet. For details take a look at my review here on the GON on this cable. 
Review: Martin Logan CLX Speaker
Hi Emailjohn, Totally agree with you regarding the subwoofers, I would not own this speaker if I did not have a pair of ML reference subs to provide the missing bottom end. That's how I auditioned them at Mike's house.

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Well Tony,You just got a taste of what I keep referring to as George's arrogant know it all attitude, this time towards a gentlemen we both respect, Mr. Masa Tsuda. The quote's from George's "tube gurus" particlarly the crack about, " you don't ha...
