Sonus Faber Guarneri vs Guarneri Memento
What I hear is much in line with Senad.....I love my Mementos.....what a speaker. 
Audiophile TT article in Forbes
wow........listen, I could care less about Michael's purchase decisions or what he may or may not have paid. Those are his choices to make as we all have in life. As long as a reviewer can keep his or her perspective in the bigger reviewing pictur... 
Electra Glide Ultra Kahn II and NOISE
I used to have the same problem with EG PCs....I won't use his stuff in my system....I myself love the Elrod PCs..... 
BPT 3.5 Sig. owner, what cords have you tried?
I use all Elrod Signature II and IIIs and what a match....love the synergy......you can see the system if curious on Audio Asylum inmates sytems... 
Cary 306 SACD
I have owned the 306/200 (was in my system for 2 years and loved it) the 303/300 and I have also owned both the Esoteric one box SACD and seperates, amongst other very expensive playback set-ups and I now have the Cary 306 SACD. In my system there... 
Shunyata Hydra
I used to have the Hydra 8 and have had the PS Audio P1000 and now have the BPT 3.5 Signature. The BPT is so much more quiet and transperant than the other two, it really is in another league. It is by far the BEST PLC I have ever had in my system...

Best amp for Audio Physic Avanti III
IMO....no question, tubes. I have had two pair of Virgos, with the current being the Virgo III, continually in my system for more than 5 years, the Virgo III is voiced similar to the Avanti. And just as important, it behaves (reacts) to amplifiers... 
Power Cords for VAC 140/140 or 70/70 tube amps
I have the 70/70 III and I just bought 2 Elrod EPS-3 Signatures for it and it is absolutely amazing what they have done for that amp. I cannot recommend them highly enough! I have tried quite a few expensive, popular cords with the amp in the last... 
VAC - any comments? Good or bad.
Oh ya my sentiments exactly.....I have had many pieces from VAC over the last 15 years, the most recent and current is the 70/70 III amplifier. There is no question that VAC absolutely makes some of the most musical gear available for the dollar-r... 
Powering Audio Physic Virgos
hhmm......well I have owned the Theil 1.5 and 3.6 and have had the Virgo I and now the Virgo III and I would disagree....IMO, the Theil's have much more HF energy than do the do the AP's. The Virgo's IMO have much more balance top to bottom. 
VAC - any comments? Good or bad.
The ARC and NAD were shown to have only +/- 1dB across the whole band? PUULEASE.....this whole set of test measurements is just plain FLAWED. I say you stick to just listening to your system. ; )
