Integrated for Dad
If you'd consider a tube gear, I'd recommend GW-Labs Cyclops. I've owned one for almost an year, and it is amazing how this small tube integrated amp stands its ground against more expensive SS amps. I think the price was $900 from www.gw-labs.com... 
Hotrod your Hermes
Joe, are you saying the new $2500 Hermes already include Auricaps and other upgrades Glreno mentions? If true, then you seem to be saying that there is a significant difference between the the $1500 Hermes before the price increase (what Glreno re... 
Hotrod your Hermes
Thanks for your reply, Glreno. How much was the total for the mod? Does Jerry have an e-mail address? Thanks. 
Hotrod your Hermes
Glreno, the retail price of the Hermes has jumped to $2499 now. So with the mod it will surely go beyond $3000 mark. I'm also thinking about getting the Hermes, but I'm not comfortable with doing many of the mod myself. I know enough to put togeth...

Who's got the best mods for the Sony SCD C333 ES?

Perp. Tech. Speaker Correction
I own a P3A modified by Dan Wright. I had P1A but got rid of it as it seemed to offer little improvement with no chance of speaker correction coming up soon (mine are Aliante Moda). I very much like what I am hearing through my P3A, but I must agr... 
Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x?
Glreno, anxiously awaiting your detailed report. Trying to get a Hermes myself but the dealer sold out. Thanks in advance. 
25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank?
Not promoting any company but currently there's a demo pair of 20 feet bi-wired 8TC terminated with spades all around on sale at AudioAdvisor. Perhaps you could try them and see if they sound ok. I know it's a bit shorter than your requirement, bu...
