Power cords at ridiculous prices?
The Ansuz DTC power cord is the most amazing power I ever heard. Pretty expensive (@20k for a 2 M retail) but it will bring your system to a new level. Everything sounds more natural with a wider and deeper sound stage.  
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Aavik Acoustics U300. A little pricey but with a built in excellent Dac and phono stage to boot for an integrated.  
Decision Decision Decision between Cary and Audio Research Sound
"Or if not even related to Carry or Audio Research, can be any brands,  Would you prefers Warmth or transparency sound and why?"As far as warmer or more transparent it would depend on you current speakers and cables along with your preference in s... 
Raidho just announced new D .1 models
Mine were a $500 (list) up charge. My dealer told me he asked Lars to make an all black stand for his demos. They were supposed to be the first made, I bought those.

Raidho just announced new D .1 models
"I just learned they have redesigned the cabinets so I am anxious to see what they look like. I just ordered a pair of the D1.1s. I won’t receive them until February but will post pictures/review."I didn’t hear anything about the cabinet. I have t...

Thought the same with the diamond power cord. Then they came out with the diamond TC.  
Raidho just announced new D .1 models
I just got the announcement from my dealer. Add a crossover upgrade too. I'm looking to see what the upgrade cost would be for current owners. As far as hearing them first I have to say - to me anytime Mike or Lars say it's better it has been (not... 
Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy
"Magico’s latest speakers very much reflect the sound of the connected gear. They can sound average through magical depending on the upstream gear and cables they’re paired with. Vitus, Pass XS series and Soulution would fit the latter."Same ho... 
Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy
the_spaniard - I know what you mean regarding the Raidho Diamond sound. I owned the D1's and now D2's (D3's are too big for my room). A friend has D3's and another has D5's. One thing I have to say is they don't sound as loud as they really are. I... 
Need advice on cables for Constellation and Raidho setup
I found some nordost blue heaven XLRs, thoughts?To me the blue heaven and the red dawns sounded a bit bright and lacked 'meat' in the mids IMO. I had a Nordost demo case a few years back for about 30 days. That gave me a chance to really compare. ... 
Need advice on cables for Constellation and Raidho setup
When I had the D1's and later the D2's I had really good luck with Nordost Tyr2 IC's and original Frey's for SC's. I had an Octave V110 integrated and now the Aavik U300. I have since moved up to Ansuz Ceramics. The Ansuz MainzD8 (power distributi... 
New floor stand speakers
Dynaudio should be another consideration. I prefer the Contour (non LE) and Confidence. They aren’t as picky as some speakers as far as set up and disappear very nicely. But you should listen yourself. No one can tell you what YOU like. They are r... 
REL B1 vrs new S5
Well I own a Rel B3 and just helped install a S9. Personally I think the B series is a lot better. My B3 digs deeper with better attack and decay (just replace the stock aluminum cable - the S comes with a copper cable). The B1 is even better as f...
