Magico V2 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
Trust me, 200 km is nothing...nothing like having a chance to audition yourself, especially speakers that are not cheap either. Go for a ride... 
Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000
Im contemplating between this cd player and Marantz 15s2 strickly for headphone listening. Of course, to find a dealer for actual audition is nothing short of miracle, so I'm going to have to take people's opinion into consideration. 
Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player
What about the headphone output on this thing? How good is it? I have Sennheiser 800 and am looking for a cd player with a great headphone abilities... 
Quality cd player with a headphone input
I just bought a Stereophile guide with the list of bunch of equipment, with a column that says if a cd player has a capability for a jack to be put in. Might be a good place to start... 
Gemme Audio Tanto V2
They do look great and I wanted to like them (Katanas, that is) but couldnt really get into them. They do throw a big sound, which I like, but they seem to throw a lot of "artificial" detail at you, don't seem really natural, almost "glassy" sound... 
Best Headphones & Amp---Opinions Please
I just got Sennheiser 800hd...I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer for yet. I don't have a "headphone" amp, just a regular integrated with a headphone input (Marantz Pm 11s2)...how does a decent integrated compare to the he... 
Help me chose: Verity - PBN Montana - Gemme Audio
I thought I'd chip in...I really wanted to like Katanas, they're just beautiful and easy to drive. Reviews were about how easy they are on the ears and so on. Well, they do throw a huge soundstage which was impressive and the detail is there and t... 
Avalon Pricing Policy?
Did you give hime a reasonable offer or just asked him how much he can discount them? I work in sales too so I know offer to buy (a commitment)goes a long way...maybe they didn't realize how serious you were and thought you're just messing around. 
Reference 3A Grand Veena vs Emerald Physics CS2.3
It's funny that some threads don't get any answers and other go on and on...sorry I can't contribute 
Quietest Refrigator ?
I found out that the quietest refrigerator is that one that's not in the room. I bought a new one recently after starting a crazy thread on the subject, only to realize that you regular $600 fridge is just as noisy now and they used to be 20 years... 
Simaudio Supernova vs Oracle CD 1500 MK II
I think it's a great cd player but it depende what you're looking for in a cd player. My system lacked speed, clarity and dynamics. After acquiring Supernova, I eliminated these shortcomings...it's all about synergy. I don't think it sugarcoats po... 
Simaudio Supernova vs Oracle CD 1500 MK II
I have Supernova cd player. They recommend the unit be turned on at all times...I haven't heard too many cd players in my system, but Supernova doesn't strike me like it has digital-free warm sound. 
Rockport Mira vs. Eggleston Nine
Thank you for your response Ebm... 
Detailed sound? Real?
I meant "crappy speakers"... 
Detailed sound? Real?
What do people mean by live music anyway? I'm certain live music reproduced through some crappy music is not the ultimate benchmark that people evaluate their system against, right?
