Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit
lordrootman, why are you selling? The p8 is an absolutely phenomenal preamp I can understand selling the w8 because the 861 is so much better, It's going to be hard to beat the p8.  
Looking for my End Game Speaker
you really should go listen to the monitor audio platinum 200s or 300s they'll blow away the Magico, they're much more three-dimensional airy and spacious and more natural sounding they're very neutral and throw a much bigger enveloping sound stag... 
SimAudio Moon Series versus Accuphase
The 850p isn't cheap though it's $45,000 Canadian ouch  
SimAudio Moon Series versus Accuphase
The 850 P is a superb preamp but if you really want to take it to the next level the 861 amplifier is far superior to the 870A I just bought one and it blew away by w8 I can hear things way in the back of the sound stage that weren't as clear with... 
Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
well that used to be the case but not anymore not with the DACs that have come out in the last few years, check out the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge on ...

calgarian5355  You'll absolutely love the monitor audio Hyphn speakers, little pricey though at $120,000 Canadian but the platinum series is phenomenal sounding they will beat speakers 2 to 3 times the price they put Magico and Wilson to shame.  
No bass on B&W 800D2
get rid of them get the monitor audio platinum 200s or 300s there's so much better than B&W.  
Holographic DAC With Air And Decay
I would definitely look at the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said it was every bit as analog sounding, on that review I decided to buy it and try ... 
Looking for my End Game Speaker
you should give monitor audio platinum a listen they are much better than the magico, much more three-dimensional airy and spacious and the bass is very tight and deep, The platinum 200 or 300.  
W4S DAC2 vs Benchmark DAC1 my observation
if you really want to up the game you should try the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC it beats DACs costing two to three times the cost, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with a $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said it was e... 
Power cord upgrade
mclinnguy, just like anything there's different levels of OCC designed wire It's not just the wire that matters it's everything else as well the design of the cable the materials used for insulation that's why audio sensibility is not that expens... 
Power cord upgrade
mclinnguy, There's no such purity as 7N copper, the best purity for OCC single crystal copper is 6N, I think you're getting confused with the OCC silver that's 7N.  
Power cord upgrade
mclinnguy, And I'll keep writing how much better OCC single crystal is than OFC obviously you haven't done much research Let me educate you OFC wire has minimum 500 crystal barriers per foot that's little fractures in the wire that the signal has... 
Power cord upgrade
I wouldn't go with either transparent or nordost, both those companies use the cheapest wire which is OFC which has 500 crystal barriers per foot with your little fractures in the wire that the signal has to jump across, if you really want to make... 
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
well I don't know why people are so enamored with magico I've listened to the many times and I'm not that impressed and you're right they sound very clinical and not natural, I like a speaker that's neutral and sounds like a real performance that'...
