Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
What matters is how the amp sounds, its reliability and the quality of customer service. I can't yet answer to the above, but I did have one conversation with ST about auditioning his amp and found him helpful and generous with his time. He was al...

MIT Magnum MA speaker cables
Dave_b:"Only the lower range MIT products have ICONN connectors and modular plug in design."AFAICT from the website, the lowest priced biwire that would have a hard-wired network box is an Oracle V3.2 that starts at 10K. So, by 'lower range' do yo... 
MIT Magnum MA speaker cables
I question a design that uses exchangeable modular tips at either end and a plug-in network box in between. It introduces 3 soft connections between your amp and every driver, when you could have none. Someone explain to me how this can't matter, ... 
Meridian 808 vs 808.2
anybody with an 808 (or 808i) that has something to add by way of comparison with Bar's description of the 808.2, even if you have not a/b-auditioned the two units? 
Meridian 808 vs 808.2
Bar, what do you, or your friends, mean by "hi-fi" in this case? It seems like an audiophile pejorative, but leaves me guessing as to specifics. thanks againUb

Question about Meridian 808

Meridian G08 a step up from 508.24 ?
SchwiinindiaIt looks like you have the new 808.2 Meridian CDP. Did you have the opportunity to compare the precedessor 808? 
MUSEATEX CDD
PS. I second Darkmoebius' recommendation of a Moray James digi cable, esp with a Museatex DAC. 
MUSEATEX CDD
A mere six hours of break-in is probably too early to make an eval. You should let the thing stay on for at least 24 hours continuously as well. How did you come by a NOS unit? I got a great result with a used CD-D running into either a Bidat and ... 
MUSEATEX CDD
Are you using it with a Bidat or Idat? 
AMR CD-77
Grateful, do you know if AMR will have its own room at HE NY or will it be paired with some other manufacturer? 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
I'd like to second an earlier post asking for a listening omparison between the Shunyata Hydra and the Exact Power EP/SP combo. Has any one auditioned both?It doesn't appear that the two power solutions compare like apples to apples. The Shunyata ...
