Opera Consonance 2.0 SACD vs 2.2 CD redbook play
I see you've gotten no response. I have the 2.2 and I have been very happy with it. I was using Vandersteen 2 sig's which are pretty forgiving speakers. I'm now using maggie 3.6 speakers and they are supposed to be ruthless in showing the weakness... 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
I have a set of mye stands on order and should receive them within 2 weeks. I'll let you know if they made a difference in my system. 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
I'm just breaking in a pair of 3.6's. Please tell me about the Cardas crossover pin and tweeter pin replacements. I am using a Consonance 2.2 CD player direct to a pair of Musical Fidelity M250 mono's and I don't have a brightness problem at all, ... 
2wq filters: what do you recommend?
Atagi, I tried doing your formula but could not come up with the same answer as .3975. Could you show us mathematically challenged folks the equation with all the decimals in place. Better yet I have the 2wqs also with 31k impedance at 80hz what c... 
Your favorite recent discovery
Hugh Masakela "Hope" very well recorded. I'll second The Bad Plus "These are the Vistas" its worth it just to hear Nirvanas "Smells like Team Spirit" from a three piece jazz band and also well recorded. 
Damping Maple Amp Stands?

Digital Direct TV vs HD via Cable
I have Directv and it is very good, but you might want to look at Voom they give you everything free and include an antenna for local channel HDTV feeds. No long term contract either. The only downside is no PPV and no NFL sunday ticket. No NFL su... 
SACD with volume control
Consonance 2.0 sacd & 2.2 for standard cd. 
Consonance 2.0 Volume too loud
Iseekheils. Why didn't you use the RCA(tube) side if you wanted to go direct? Just curious as that is the way I run mine. 
Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music
Lorin Grean, Spinning Gold. This CD has the largest soundstage of any in my collection. Great voice. 
Consonance cd-120 vs. Consonance 2.2
I've never heard the CD120 but I have the Consonance 2.2 hooked direct to Musical Fidelity M250's with Vandersteen 2 CE's. It is a great sounding player. IMHO. Every time I've upgraded amps, cords, speaker wires or interconnects, or removed my pre...
