Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
I loved my Gyro Se II. I used an SME iV that I bought from 2Juki on ebay from Japan and it was a wonderful combination. A 20 ft wide soundstage and a floating image. Lively, detailed yet with bass. I see alot of Rega RB300/303 with Michell. Not su... 
Review of Emotiva Processors
I just got the UMC-1/UPA-7 from an Onkyo TX SR906. Moved the 906 to the bedroom and the UMC-1 and UPA-7 will go into the family room.Though the UMC-1 was a bit buggy at first, Emotiva has put out a few updates that have corrected the issues. What ... 
silverline vs von schweikert
I've had both speakers The VS VR4JR about a year and now the Silverlines. The VS were detailed open sounding with tight bass. But never really wowed me or brought me into the music. THey were on the lean side- somtimes bright(Yes I broke them in f... 
AAD 2001 or 2002
Midrange is open, natural, smooth, a bit forward. Treble is smooth, dynaudio like. Imaging was right there with good sou dstaging although I listened nearfield.Pretty amazing speakers.If I could find them on Audiogon I'd snap them up. 
Would like to hear Silverline Speakers in NYC/NJ

Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.
I just purchased the 4jr's last month and am in my 60hour or so of break in. In this short time the sound has improved significantly. Can any one advise the differece in the sound to expect once I reach 200 hrs? Hopefully a bit less edgy and brigh... 
Any comparison between Audes/Gershman/Triangle?
I auditioned the Triangle Celius with CJ tubes a few months back. Thought it was clear transparent and imaged well but absolutely horrible when you turned it up. The sound basically disintergrated with no bass.I would say the Blues has the transpa...
