Cary 11a vs Anthem D2
Some people have it some don't all depends on the source. Although other processors have similar issues my anthum d2v had a issue as well never had a issue with the denon or onkyo or yammaha's. Funny how the cheap stuff works. The west is just not... 
Cary 11a vs Anthem D2
Really my dealer Audio Connection stood up for me and they took it back after many empty promises from Cary and a little annoyance on my part. Cary didn't want it back. Cary kept telling me they would fix it just wait another 2 months every time. ...

Aesthetix Rhea Signature and IO MK2
I should comment I am not 100% sure the tubes are the issue they where pretty new and aesthix claimed they where good. Also both channels have a lot of noise. If I knew it was tubes I would just buy them. 
Cary 11a vs Anthem D2
I had the Cary went to the d2. Sound was a tad better out of the Cary but I could balance the d2 to my room better. Also the d2 didn't have all the issues, bugs the Cary had and they never fixed. Also as a bonus the video processing in the d2 is t...

Furman Elite 15 vs Panamax 5100-PM
Both are great I am a dealer for both. Right now I favor the better Fermans. Get the one that does not shunt a sureg to ground though. 
Stand out phono stages
I would disagree I have an IO sig. I had major issues with it so sent it back to Aesthix and had it upgraded to the Eclipse spent another 5k on it just to make sure I got it back working perfect. It is horrible I can hear it from about 18' away it...

How does Aesthetix Atlas compare to ARC HD220
Well I have had Atlas amps and they have been nothing but trouble they just shut down for no reason I have monoblocks they both do the same thing so it is something to the programming of them. It is the only piece of equipment I have had this type... 
Aesthetix Calypso vs. ?
I love the Calypso. I think it is a great sounding piece I am using it with my sevens and because of the lack of IR control in other pieces I still use it but I think it is up to the caliper of the rest of the system. Just don't by the Altas amps ... 
Aesthetix Atlas amp 12v trigger......
My Atlas amps continualy shut down for no reason. Aesthetix has no idea why I have spent no less than 50 hours trouble shooting them and 3 electrition calls. I think it may be related to the triggers. Anyhow nice as the amps sound they have been v... 
Parasound JC2/ Aesthetix Calypso/Ayre K-5xe - Help
Well I have owned the 2ce sig and had both the AR on them and the Aesthetix. I liked the AR but the Aesthetix is a better piece at least in my opionion. The sound stage is better and there is more of the music comming through. I have also listened...
