Has anyone purchased the new Elac Adante floorstanders yet?
I read several show reports, and all but one of them were very positive.  It apparently has a very innovative internal bass configuration.  And thank goodness it has a soft dome tweeter!Still, as others have said, I have yet to see reports from an... 
Isotek EVO3 Sigmas
I've been watching the THD display through the day.  I presume this displays the THD of the AC going into the unit, rather than that coming out of it.  It started off at 1.25%, peaked at about 1.37%, and is now, Saturday mid afternoon, down around...

Concordia Viols, "Crye" (English Viol Music), on Metronome CD.  Wonderful music and wonderful recording. 
Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc
For years I drove Response 2.5s with a 14W Cary Class A SET 300B amp, and never lacked for power.  Don't know if the later generations are equally forgiving.

Does anyone have the Oliveira CD of him playing different Stradivarius and Guarneri violins?  Instead of using one's system to hear the more or less subtle differences in the sonorities, I was wondering if one could take those differences for gran... 
Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com
That ELAC is an old model.They recently introduced the ADANTE, at right around 5K, which has been getting very good reports from the electronics shows.  But it's not on Amazon... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
No love for Rogue?  Made in the U.S. of A.If the Cronus Magnum II isn't enough, consider RP5 preamp + Stereo 100 power. 
Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!
I think it all depends on how your cables are terminated, what kind of connections your speakers have, and what the binding posts can handle.My single-wire Wireworlds have spades.  I then bought matching Wireworld jumpers with bananas on one end a... 
DAC break-in...
Some of the break-in is electronic, and some of it is your ears breaking in to the sound of the new component.  Still, I have experienced myself a system sounding noticeably better after a new component had been in it and running for 100-200 hours. 
Speaker distance

PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?:
Right now on ebay there's Dynaudio Contour S 3.4, Dynaudio Focus 340, Dali Helicon 400 Mk2, PSB Imagine T2 (B stock), etc.  In other words, between 'gon, US audio mart and ebay there's a wealth of very good choices.  But only *your* ears can tell ...

Classical Music for Aficionados
At the risk of going slightly OT, seems like this is best directed at readers of this thread.Has it occurred to anyone else that Mahler must have heard the Adagietto from Bizet's L'Arlesienne Suite no. 1 before he composed his own, utterly sublime...
