Trelja in New York - 2005 I concur with Fcreetlew, any dealings I've had with BC have been exceptional. This subject has also been covered on the BC Forum. http://bluecircle.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=2. . .	24

Temporal Bliss Actually, I've been using Transparent Cabling long before the BC gear found it's way into my house. I've always had great success, and excellent sonics with it in my rig, so it . . .	11
Cheap Canadians Not to badger your praise of "things Canadian" and yes "I am Canadian!" but do try to get your facts straight. First and foremost it is true that Canadian speaker manufacturers . . .	11
Spendors SP-100 R.....anybody heard them ? While I can't comment on the merits of the various Spendors mentioned above, I can add from my own experience in moving from a pair of Logan Ascents to a pair of Verity Parsifal . . .	10
User group for B&W speakers Ditto... a happy N804 owner	10
Digital cable recommendations? Try to find an MIT Digital Reference, of all the ones I have tried, it seems to have the nicest blend of vices/virtues. Otherwise if you are looking for something good on the cheap. . .	10
Review: Transparent Music Wave Super Speaker cable I agree that the Supers offer an excellent level of performance within the Transparent product range, They are probably at the "hinge" of the price for performance . . .	9
AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... From what you've just said about your preferences, I'd also throw in my vote for the BC28 from Blue Circle. It has pretty much all the qualities you're looking for. If you do . . .	9
Blue Circle BC3 Galatea - thoughts Although I can't comment directly on the sound of the BC3, I can comment on the sound of the BC3000 (which uses the same GALATEA power supply) in my opinion this is one of the . . .	9
Speakercable for B&W Nautilius I am running Transparent MusicWave Super BiWire on my Nautilus 804's and it sounds awesome (driven by a Krell KSA-200S) Definately have a listen to some of these cables, but I . . .	8
Martin Logan Aeon, anyone heard? The AEON actually will replace the Aerius, Have a look at the ML website, they have the poop on it. The tentative release date is mid-late July. I would suppose this will give ML . . .	7
Aragon D2A...I like it...sorta... Ok.. here's the poop.. The original D2A was upgraded to Mk2 status to take advantage of an enhanced low jitter input circuit (which at the time was quite unique). I suspect what . . .	6
best amp for rinning 802n under 1200 I have had enormous success with a Musical Fidelity A300 integrated (on the N804's) if you want to go the route of an integrated. Otherwise I would suggest a used Aragon 8008BB (. . .	6
Best Pre-Amp w/Throughput for HT ? With the gear that you have now, I would give strong consideration to either the Mark Levinson 380 or 380S, both have the home theater bypass... go with the "S" version if you can . . .	5

Is Levinson 31.5 still the best transport for $$ Things may come and go, but the Lev 31.5 and 30.6 can still stand toe to toe with anything out there. As an alternate, I'd suggest the Wadia 270SE and 27ix DAC combo.. either of . . .	2
