If you're going to condsider Hydra, please think strongly about the Audio Magic line. The Stealth and Matrix conditioners are unbelievable. I love mine. peace, warren

Eldulcesol, your post confuses me. I own the AA Prima as well. There is NO hookup that allows for a preamp. You're thinking of the Capitale, obviously. I don't understand your post. Is your Prima first generation? I don't get it. That must be powe... 
XRCD Technology
Edster my man. You know why they choose those recordings. Bill Evans with Scott Lafaro and Paul Motion. Those 3 trio recordings are perhaps the best (or at least of the best) ever. Scott Lafaro was a monster. The others? Classics. Great all by the... 
Paradigm Monitor or Studio?
You didn't ask if the Paradigms are the best value. I believe you wanted to know between the two; which was better. There are oodles of speakers that are better than those babies. Redirect your post if you are interested in entertaining the idea o... 
Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money?
If your stands have coupling points on the bottom, it really doesn't matter what they couple to, as long as it's mother earth. They'll go right through your carpet into the concrete. Don't have coupling points? Get 'em. peace, warren 
Paradigm Monitor or Studio?
Bookshelf speakers DO NOT belong on bookshelves. You'll kill them. Go figure. They belong on the best stands you can afford. If you've got the $$ go for killer stands. You will change your monitors on down the road, but you might not have to chang... 
Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money?
Great stands, if they are in fact great, will make a very significant difference in your system. That being said, read my review on the Sistrum Mini Monitor platform system. Starsound Technologies have other speaker stands as well that will lift y... 
XRCD Technology
I now have about 30 or so XRCDs. That should give you a clue. Beautiful. Most of them sound as analog as you can get from a cdp. I love 'em. Don't have a bad one in the lot. Worth every dime. Bill Evans, Coltrane, Davis, to name a few, never sound...

I highly recommend the Audio Aero Prima. Read my review. This is one sweet cdp. I've been raving about it since I purchased mine, back in Janurary. At this price (about $2200)--I have found nothing that comes close and quite frankly, the Prima goe... 
Revel M-20 with Sim Audio I-5?
I don't know anything about the Sim, but I do know the M20s. They love lots of juice. I run mine with 100watts per with a Sunfire Architectural Sub. I have a small listening room and they do just fine. There are times, however, that I want to real... 
Monster Power conditioners. Anyone using one?
Hey Slappy, I'm not against power conditioners. I'm against inferior conditioners which usually screw up the music, rather than let it happen. I don't relate to anything you're using. Just having your cdp on the same line as your analog is a big n... 
Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha.
dinah washington--oo la la Madeleine Peyroux great chords for a white girl. sounds like billie's twin. Cassandra wilson and diane reeves. No offense, but Krall doesn't have a voice for my taste. However, she does have style. I'm not nuts about Ric...
