The Exemplar Denon 3910 as far as modded players go. Have seen them used for $3k. Sacd/DVD-A and Redbook and video too. Worth it at $5k, brand spanking new, as well. warren :) 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
I love the Andra II as well. Gina, that is some list of speakers that didn't work for you. I get the tingles thinking of those Maggie 20.1s with the room and right amplification. Your new crib has some serious cubic feet. I'm in agreement with Pmo...

Thanks Boa2, I for the life of me couldn't figure out where the 50 hours came from. 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
songwriter, that didn't take you long: "Roy Johnson at Green Mountain Audio and your search will be over." Has he given you any stock in the company yet? 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
Boa2, S7Horton, am I missing something? The 50 hours listening time you guys mentioned: Where o where does that come from?Gina, getting back to you for a moment. If the 50 hours of breaking in time is the deal, I agree: call off the sale. You have...

Gina, what in the world was wrong (lacking?) with your Andra 2s? Are you sure your 5 year sojourn for speaker nirvana not rooted somewhere else? Maybe if you give us some more info about your rig, and the things you've tried that you were unhappy ...

Thomas, why, pray tell? Best ever made? Please, I'd love to know more. Don't have a clue. Come on big guy, try and tackle this query..thanks, warren 
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp?
Drubin, I'm sorry, but I thought my post was clear about the room and not being able to do the things Plato was talking about...Plato, I think I hurt Drubin's feelings more than yours? If I'm wrong, didn't mean any harm. Not on Christmas. Any othe...

Albert, when you say expensive what kind of money are you talking about? I remember, back in my vinyl days, cleaning my records with some kind of thing I held in my hand and I swirled it around the record. Zerostat? can't think of it. Maybe on of ... 
Do you ever use the balance on your pre amp?
Plato, you are joking right? Thanks guys, and the balance is on my remote as well. Since my pre has a standby feature (I don't know if that is the reason for this) it keeps everything in memory. Bottom line? Don't have to redo the balance everytim... 
Anyone on Tungstram 6DJ8s?
Sherod thanks for that link. Couldn't disagree more with that thread from AA, but hey, that's the audio way. Let a bunch of audiophools listen to the same thing, and ones going to think it's the best thing they ever heard, and one is going to hate... 
Magnepan w/Krell integrated 400xi-good match?
I just don't relate to Maggies for nearfield listening. They need oodles of room and have to be placed four feet from the back wall to truly come alive. Anyway, you've heard this rap before. Good luck. 
Magnepan w/Krell integrated 400xi-good match?
So, Cooch the tubes not doing it? Krell goes great with Maggies. Bryston, as well. If you're thinking on down the longer road at the 3.6s, I'd go with the Bryston. With a flip of a switch in the back, you be good to bridge them. Will require anoth... 
Best of the AMperex 6DJ8/6922 Tubes
Christmas mail deluge, but finally my tubes arrived. The (4) 12AX7s Bugle Boys (NOS early 60s) right out of the box, like Andy said, sound beautiful. I'm lucky, perhaps the owner of my Bel Canto SET 40 wouldn't have sold this amp if he had better ... 
Ipod Nano
I gotta love 'em. They did it. All my purchased tunes. Free. Done deal.
