Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
So upon further investigation, it was the xeo 5 that that I was listening to the other day and they did sound incredible. They were being played through a $10,000 moon dac, which I'm sure helped, but still. 
Paradigm SE7 mk3 or paradigm monitor 7 v3?
I'd go with the 7se mk 3 just because of the price difference and spend the $300 saved elsewhere in your system. With that being said, I haven't heard the monitor 7, and it's been awhile since I listened to the 7se mk3 and that's why I didn't post... 
Best Power Cord for a Classe CA 2300
Lol, dang Elizabeth! So anyways, are all of your power cords Pangea? If so, which ones for what components? Quickly, what does your system comprise of? Sorry, I know it's off topic, but I'm just curious what you have. Also, I just recently purchas... 
Looking for the best monitor or bookshelf $1k?
I just read your other thread, Tim. Sounds like you're actually a decent guy. Ugh, I feel like a jacka..

Ray ray, did you ever think that maybe he passed away and it's actually his wife that is selling them? 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
My local hi fi guy was telling me how much he liked dynaudio based on a pair of dynaudio bookshelf speakers they had a few months back. Then I heard a factory installed dynaudio system in the new v.w. Golf R. Best car stereo I've ever heard. Then,... 
Nordost Heimdall XLR interconnect break-in time
Lmao Doremisfasol!! I like the way you put that. 
Warm, lush and smooth interconnect help
I'm a newbie to all of this but I agree with dodgealum. Just curious, if you are spending $2,400 on interconnects, how much have you spent on the rest of your system? Are you that guy I heard about that spent $134,000 on a record player ;-) 
Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
So I went ahead and bought the classe ca-150. It sounds quite a bit better than the adcom. What I've noticed so far is a wider, deeper, more defined soundstage, waaaay more bass, and I can play my speakers louder. I actually find myself listening ... 
Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
So I went into my local stereo shoptonight to pick up some interconnects and ended up leaving with a classe ca-150 to demo for a few days. A gentleman there is trying to sell it for $800. I'll let you know what I think of it after listening to it ... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
I agree with Phaelon. Think about giving him a card saying that his birthday present is any dac of his choice, 2k or less. Explain to him that you want to buy him the exact dac he wants. When someone is as hardcore about a hobby as it sounds he is... 
Classe CAM 350 upgrade for Conrad Johnson MF2500A?
I posted the question "what's the best amp, for music, under 1k used" and got multiple responses saying I should check out the cj mf2500 and after researching that amp on-line, along with a few others, I decieded that the cj mf2500 was the one tha... 
Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
Bthogan, an adcom gfa 545 is the amp I am currently using so it's good to hear your thoughts on the DNA-1! Thanks! 
Best 2 ch. Amp, for music, under $1k used
You guys (and gals, if any of you are ladies) ROCK! Thank you all. I've researched some of these amps based on your recommendations and I've really liked what I've seen so far. The knowledge you guys have about stereo equipment is humbling. I'll d... 
Are marantz ma500 monoblocks better than an adcom?
Jeffreybehr, sorry about the confusion. I was planning on bi amping with the mono blocks, not the adcom as I was trading the adcom as part of the deal. I read that bi amping, in most cases, is better than bridging your amps even if they were desig...
