Revel Salon 2 with Pass Labs amps
The Salon 2, Pass XA-100.5 is a match made in heaven, or at lease it is at a friends house. Warm, sweet and neutral. He is considering the XA-160.5 amps but in my opinion he doesn't really need the extra power. 
How long daes it take your gear to warm up?
We also leave our solid state stuff on 24/7/52. When we leave the country for a vacation and power everything down it seems like most of the gear comes on song after a few hours, but the power amp doesn't smooth out for 24 to 48 hours. The cost of... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
After hearing all the good things about the Cirrus cord I thought it would be worth a try. Well what a disappointment , mostly in the mids, not even close to some of the Shunyata stuff I've heard. Back to the drawing board. 
Digital vs Analog - A supposition...

Chained Shunyata Triton w/Vray 2

Ayre C-5xe mp vs PS Audio Digital Link III
My C5 is at about the same output level as other spinners I've owned, except the SACD layer which is much lower. 
Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP
It's a panel speaker, it's going to be bright no matter what, get used to it or get ride of it. 
Sometimes Less is More?
Kbark. I don't think the size of the low frequency drivers are the only thing to consider when your choosing a speaker for a small room. When we were having our new house built, I had to temporarily setup my system in a tiny untreated room, includ... 
Digital Abbey Road fails for me
There will always be good reviews of bad remastering jobs. Many of these folks are writers not audiophiles, they wouldn't know the difference. Stick to the guys you know and the ones that have good reputations. If the disc sounds bad in two fairly... 
HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
