Review: Dynavector P75 Preamplifier
I am a little surprised that the "enhanced" mode didn't mate better with the Shelter.It works wonderfully in my set-up.However,I did decide on a SS device after deciding to use a tube integrated for line-level amplification.But I think the Omega M... 
Anti static
I have used the Mapleshade Ionoclast on CDs,ICs,PCs and speaker cables.You can hear the difference,more delineation. 
Whick system is better for 70K retail?
Leaning toward the second option,with a different preamp.Maybe the First Sound or Placette active.Not overly inspired with the CJ offerings,seem to be rooted in the past {golden sound} and lacking the last word in transparency.Might consider that ... 
Which is better - S/PDIF Coaxial or AES/EBU
I prefer the RCA/coaxial connection.Many prefer the AES-EBU.I do know that there is far less dialectric material in an RCA connector than the XLR.The arguement can be made that the useable bandwidth is greater in the XLR connector. I sell the Omeg... 
Di-Poles and back wall reflections Stats
When Western Reserve Audio was a partner building tube amps for Innersound,I heard the EROS.It sounded good,but got a little overbearing,then we installed two pairs of the Walker Audio Ultimate HDLs.More relaxed,no signs of stress on high level tr...

CAT JL-2 vs Tenor 75Wi Wp
You are aware that Tenor is out-of-business,The 75s had the problem of going up in smoke on occasion.Hopefully you can buy a reliable pair,repair could be a problem.

Help with next CDP upgrade...
I'm sure the Cardas worked with the Pioneer,but when you upgrade the transport do the same with the digital; cable.Any thoughts on going to an all-in-one unit.It appears that there is sound degradation when ever you terminate to a connector.This a... 
First 2 weeks with Hybrid Stats....
Chad, Contact Western Reserve Audio/Design:216-521-0900.They have a passive crossover that removes the active X-over/amp and improves the sound/integration of the woofers. 
Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers
Yes,I know what the manual says,but the improvement is worth it.Just be careful and don't treat any portion but the tips pf the pins.I don't plan on returning mine.I even treated the ribbon cable on the Gamut {running between the digital and analo... 
Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers
Have the Prologue II.Treat the tube pins with SST/E-SST.Very neutral,warmth can be minimized with after-market power cord.I used the passive Omega Mikro "blue".Not what I typically expect from a $1300 unit,a keeper. 
Frustrated with WBT upgrade : need advice
How long ago did you perform this mod?It can take a week of listening before things settle.Things will become dull,then bright and finally settle.Hope it turns out for the best.
