You`re the biggest whiner in here Audiofeil. I`ve read MUCH in here, but haven`t written much because of bickering and generally grown ups whining and talking trash. They say "Silence is golden"....... Have you ever thought of thinking before post... 
CES 07 Show Report
Just let me correct you Brent ;). Reidar Persson is swedish and so are his Respons speakers ;) Nice reading indeed :) 
Pass Labs vs. Cary
I would check out Wolcott. I use Wolcott tubes with my Summits and it replaced Pass X350.5 and the tube amp is so much better with the Summits I didn`t believe it at first. 
Conrad Johnson Act 2 series 2 First Impressions
Nice report Brent :) 
Choice of tube amp?
Now I`ve ordered 4x Telefunken Diamondbase ECL86 which are suppose to be better than Tungsram. So time will show.Bartokfan: Whatever you write on the Jadis wont make my impressions go away ;)

APL NWO2.5 ?
Hbarrel: What are you trying to accomplish? Your arguments are getting mighty thin ;)

reimyo cdp-777 vs meridian 808
Optarchie: You are sure the Meridian 808 is the best one box player out there? If you even think so I suggest you listen to Alex Peychevs APL Hifi NWO-2, it makes the 808 sound like a plastic rack, I`ve heard G07, G08, 800, G98 into 861, 808 and 8...

Steinhart doesn`t answer mails and I don`t do business with such firms. When one has to politely ask or make a lot of hassle getting in touch with them I say good riddance. So Steinhart wont see me taking my business their way. The 2 "Hottest" can...

I`ll check it out, thank you for the tip :)

You say your opinion and I say mine. Isn`t that OK? You suggested them and I have auditioned them and found them of none interest. There was a reason for me not mentioning them in my first post :)

I`m not interested in Jadis, I`ve heard some of their models and they sounded slow and dull IMHO. I`m looking in the direction of the new Supratek Malbec and Wolcott 140s or Wolcott 280Ms.
