Gryphon Vitus Gamut
Hi Melb.  Is the 103 less musical now than the 102? 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Several months ago, when the prototype of the Q3 came out, many said that it is warmer and fuller sounding than the Q5s. I have not read this in current comments. I suppose this is no longer true? Q3 and Q5 sound more similar now? Thanks. 
New Magico Speaker the Q3
Rumor has it that it will be between $35k-$40k. 
Biamping with BAT vk200 and vk60?
My understanding is that the gain of the rca output is different from the gain of the XLR output. If this is the case, then you will have different output levels. Best is to consult BAT. Good luck. 
High Efficiency Speakers Your top 3 or more
My pick would be Horning Aristoteles. I have heard a few high efficiency speakers and this is my favorite. Good luck!

TW-Acustic Arm
It's amazing that you guys bother discussing an issue with the almighty Dertonarm. From what I've read, he feels that a good tonearm is one that is technically superior. No need to listen as to how it sounds. Design one, hang it on the wall and ad... 
TW-Acustic Arm
I make my purchase decision based on how it sounds, not how fancy the materials are or how it looks. I have been criticized for liking 47labs because it is priced too much for the number of parts it uses. But why should I buy something with top tr... 
TW-Acustic Arm
Interesting to note that some of you have already chosen other arms over the 10.5 without even hearing it. My understanding is that Thomas has Phantom, Breur, Schroder, etc. tonearms. Am sure he has compared his own arm to these well known brands. 
Choice: Avantgarde Duo Omega or JBL K2 s9800
Another vote for the JBLs here. The s9800 is dynamic, detailed and very musically engaging. The bass of the AGs are slow, doesn't integrate well with the mids and highs. 
Anyone compare Shindo vs. Mastersound?
They are from different camps IMO. Shindo is smooth, round, easy to the ears sort of sound. Mastersound on the other hand is not as linear but fun and lively sounding. Good luck! 
Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ?
Zeal, yep. Euphonia MS4 is warmer and rounder than Helicon 400 MkI. That's my experience. 
Dali MS-5 Bi-Amp; Tri-wire
When bi-amping, the two amps should be the same. Otherwise, you will have gain and coherence issues. What if your Sim has a higher gain than the Carys? That would mean your bass is more pronounced than the rest of the frequencies. What if your SIM... 
Dali Helicon 800 Mk2 are stunning ?
Interesting. My experience is actually the opposite. The Euphonias are much warmer and rounder than the Helicons (mk1 though not mk11).

Thanks Emailists. I just wanted to confirm the price since I have read that it is likely to increase soon. So I suppose the price is still the same as indicated in the Stereomojo review. Thanks!
