Jena Labs Symphony vs. Valkyre IC's
Has anyone compared Symphony to Nordost Valkyrja cables or Virtual Dynamics Master cables ? 
lower priced power cords for emm labs CDSD/DCC2 ?
A few people have recommended Shunyata Anaconda VX for the Meitner gear, yet even used is more than I want to spend. Yet, I notice a few usede Black Mamba V1 or Version2 have been available for 350 to 400+. Does anyone have experience with this PC... 
DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever?
Bill, thanks for the clarification on the thread ... initially I thought you were considering the 'zeels for your VR-11 monoliths.Personally, no matter how sweet it sounds, I think it is rather ugly industrial design. Perhaps, if they could change...

Art Audio Carissa vs deHavilland 845 tube amps
I spent a few hours listening to the dehavilland 845's with a Hovland preamp, Naim CDS3 CDP, and Von Schweikert VR4jrs a few days ago. I would hardly say they were veiled, although perhaps I could have used their larger GM70's for some music to ge... 
Thor Audio - Answers to recent FAQs
Certainly purchasing audio equipment on Audiogon can be confusing with some equipment that may have been around on the market for many years, and may have had a number of named or unnamed revisions over that time. I applaud Thor Audio for coming t... 
Any experience with Kharma Ceramique Sub.?
I posed a similar question regarding experience with the Kharma sub mated with the 3.2's. While the thread got carried away, you will find that many people felt that the sub integrated very well with the ceramique 3.2FE. Importantly, it was felt t... 
Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2
I haven't bought a record in perhaps 25 years and I'm not sure I ever want to go back to vinyl. Yet, it doesn't take a $67K Sirius III setup to show that vinyl is still better than the $17K emm labs. Unfortunately, I heard the difference at less t... 
Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2
Mike,Thanks for speaking up. I realize there is no best. From my research so far, and reading between the lines on some Lamm reviews, I was afraid that it's one tube may not give me what I love in the Tenor (both hybrid and OTL). I have really fo... 
Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2
Guys,It's interesting to see this thread come back to life. There is no question, I would love to have the opportunity to hear both amps side by side with whatever Kharma speakers I may finally decide on. Even better, I would love to audition them... 
sar labs question
Sorry for passing on this unconfirmed rumor. You know what they say, don't believe all that you hear and half of what you see.On the record, I was very impressed with the SAR labs Mos 400 and hope that he continues to produce this reasonably-price... 
Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2
it's funny, I have heard the opposite too 
Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2
Beyond the dealers, I was hoping that there are others out there who have personal experience listening to both amps.Brian, I couldn't agree more. However, arranging for in-home auditioning is not easy when you live in Canada and neither company h... 
Best of both worlds?? Dreaming perhaps??
I am like you my priority for my media room is mainly high-end audio. Therefore, I would agree with John's approach ... In fact, at first I will be watching movies with 2 channel sound only from my high-end 2-channel system. I have wired my new ro...
