Will - regarding the 200.5's compared to the 30.5's, I asked the same question to Kent English and he chuckled and said, at one time - the 200.5's were the best amplifier we knew how to build so yes they are significantly better than our introduct...

If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hi Everyone - I'm shocked no one mentioned a Meridian 800 transport, especially with a linear power supply.We have a moderately high end system and I've yet to hear anything that comes close to this transport. The latest, discontinued Oppo can't c...

Can upgraded power cords help my setup?
Hey guys, I apologize - never did I intend to insight the dispute that has ensued. I won't be contributing to this discussion further. I hope everyone enjoys their music - life is too short not enjoy music that moves our senses and stirs our souls.
