Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL
I have the Fritz Rev 5 and love them. Fritz is a great guy to deal with and he is very generous with his home trial offer. I had a set for a month before I purchase mine. Fritz and I had several conversations about which of his speakers would be a... 
Apartment system iPod to headphones
I use the i Pure20. A major plus is it's cheap! 
Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height
@Marakanet - The wood and granite slabs sound do-able. I wonder if it would be stable though. I imagine it would be but I'll have to take off the spikes if I use granite and use blue tack or something. The "alive" comment was funny.@Donjr- I thoug... 
Bookshelf speaker with electrostatic sound
I 2nd the Green Mountain Audio speakers. (Especially since I'll be selling my Callistos in the next few weeks,,,LOL!) 
Reference 3A Dulcet or PSB minis for iDecco
Well I'm in the process of demoing both the Mini's and the Dulcets. The Dulcets are just out of the box and sound very congested. Actually they sound bad at this point but I need to run them in for several days. the Minis are fully broken in and s... 
Clear Day Interconnects
Another vote for Clear Day Cables. I own the Double Shotguns and love them. Paul is by far one of the best guys in the biz. No bull, no overpriced goods,,,just an honest guy selling a great product.Miles 
Speaker Recommendation for iDecco
Without a doubt I'm sitting too far away (7 feet?)form the ERAs. I'm running out the door to hear some Quads now. The Decware ERRs form what little I know seem idential to the OHMs. I wish I could hear. The Ohm offer a much longer home audition pe... 
Ripping 700 CD's to HD using FLAC-How much space?
For some reason a backup HD I purchased never worked properly (or I just never set it up properly). As an interim solution and also to keep a copy offsite (to protect against fire, theft, etc), I use Carbonite to backup my music collection. I know... 
AVM 20 or AVM 30 vs Mid-Fi Yamaha Receiver
I agree with Sthomas12321 100%. I have an Anthem AVM30, Rotel 1075 and Panny bd-55 combo. It's great for HT. We are changing the room around a bit and I will need to go the AVR route to take up less space. I love the Anthem sound and will miss it.... 
Cayin A-50t vs. Rogue Audio Cronus
And here I mistakenly thought this was an audio forum and the OP asked for opinions about the sonic capabilities of the amps. I have the Cayin 100T and like it. Hopefully in the near future I can get my hands on a Rogue Stereo 90. IMHO the Rogue e... 
Best power cable to component or to power strip?
A timely thread for me. I'm slowly changing to an all PS Audio power system with various xStream SC cords (Prelude, Power Plus and Statement). My 2 channel system is too far from my Power Plan Premier so I use a Juice Bar II. I'm not sure what to ... 
Slim Devices Duet
Dpetri,Your CDP should sound better, the iTunes plus recordings are not high res. They are only encoded at 256 kbps.MB 
opera cd 120 LINEAR and raysonic cd128
Like Dopogue, I can't comment on the Opera. I recently picked up a used Raysonic 128. It replaced a Rega Apollo. No contest to my ears. I haven't tried tube rolling yet but I will soon. 
The little guys?
I agree with Mrtennis. I currently run various ICs and PCs including Virtual Dynamics. My speaker cables are by Zu Audio. I've taken the time to audition various new cables and by chance came across Clear Day cables. I currently have the Shotgun (... 
A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC?
Well I picked up a (used)Raysonic 128 for $1K and my immediate impression after all of 1 hour is that it is a step up from the Rega Apollo. To my ears a much more fuller sound with deeper and wider soundstage (the tubes?). Obviously I need to spen...
