Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Sutts,My moniker is an accurate description of myself, physically and spiritually. It came about when trying to establish a Hotmail account years ago and EVERY name had already been taken.The spiritual relevance comes from the Bible in Philippians...

Sutts, the game was excellent, and I loved the result. There has been a lot of good sporting events lately.

Don't forget about the Audio Synthesis unit. I am guessing it is probably not in the same league, on SACD, as the Meitner, but I would guess the Meitner is probably not in the same league as the Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete on Redbook. These are o... 
Biggest Baddest Audio Cables
XLO Signature Shotgun. Who knows for sure, but I have serious doubts as to whether I will ever change out this component. Actually I am nearing the point where there are few (if any) components that will change. BTW, what cable did you end up with?

Busaganashi,Take a listen to the Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete system. It will probably impress you to the point of never thinking of a source upgrade again as long as you live. The system uses a modified Pioneer DV-47Ai for a transport, allowing D...

Colesy, what is io-gel? 
Best CD with a muted horn?
I don't know who the King is, but there is fabulous trumpet work on the Ellington Blues in Orbit disc.

I have never heard the dcs stuff. I have an Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete Variable with balanced outputs. No one in this country has the proprietary Audio Synthesis Link equipped transport except Donald North, the US distributor. As far as I know F... 
Advice wanted
I am not sure what your budget is, but if you are doing digital only system take a listen to the new Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete Variable designed and manufactured in the UK. Skip the preamp and go direct to your amp. Obviously you need to figure... 
Want More Bass
My brother uses the Rogue 88 to drive N.E.A.R. 50Me II's in a room about the same size as yours. This combination outputs all the bass most people find desireable. The N.E.A.R.'s are also a slim tower design. Based on the good match with the Rogue... 
Inexpensive SACD player....?
I think the unit to look at would be a Philips 963, I haven't heard it, but it appears to be the hot lower priced player of the moment. 
Help to pick redbook player
I was going to mention the Philips 963, I have heard very good things about this unit from a reliable source.

You may wish to consider the NAD 514 single drawer or the NAD 515 5 disc changer. They are only available used. I owned a 514 and was VERY pleased with it. The only drawback I found was the limited resolution in an absolute sense (probably not an ... 
Cable suggestions? Opinions needed...
Take a look at the Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables. Another that I would check out is Audio Consulting cables at Reference Audio Mods 
Found an interesting way to compare IC cables...
It would seem there are a number of interactions between a given cable and the component(s) that the cable connects to. Personally, I am not going to take the time to try and figure them out, and I seriously doubt I would be able to do so if I tri...
