Berkeley vs Bryston vs Lampizator
I also had a Lampizator Big 6 then heard the Bricasti M1, sold the Lampi and never looked back. (Dealer disclaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Sorry for the late response just been very busy! Yes the Zero's with the Atmasphere and Crescendo combo worked better than just the Atmasphere M60's alone. You are correct that OTL's like a flat high impedance load and I set the Zero's so the Atma... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
grannyring, the M60 did a very nice job for all but Rock n Roll 98 dB blasting music. I listen to 90% jazz and had no problem. Yes the Veritas drives them without breaking a sweat but can lack some of the liveleness of the M60's. 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
I use several with good results. An Atmasphere M60 or Novacron (both with Zero auto-transformers) or a Merrill Audio Veritas. The Merrill gives you all the headroom you would ever need.I am selling the Crescendo's now because I've lost 3 sales dir... 
Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer.
Fork with all due respect Nanotec cables are very good but not giant killers! I import them as well and have sold many of them but also sell other cables that are vastly superior IMO. (and I will not name them here it's the wrong forum). Chrissain... 
Genuine Kondo???
We used to sell Kondo and the KSL-DAC used to sell NEW for around $12,500 USD. Yes it had a retail of 30K but the mark-up was so high we could sell them at less than 50% off list.  
Acoustic zen adagio jr for Rock music?
I'm an AZ dealer and I'd tell you look elsewhere. Sorry no further explanation. 
Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF
Rippet I have had several of the Oyaide duplex and then tried the Furutech GTX-D and most recently the new Furutech NCF duplex outlets. The Furutech's have been cleaner and more musical than the Oyaide IMO.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Best DAC for over 2000
I can't tell you all the different DACs I've owned/tried but once I heard the Bricasti my quest ended. (Dealer disclaimer) 
Brinkmann Balance vs Basis 2800
The Basis is the better table and well worth the extra cost.  Also Basis has the better support with out a doubt. I had no support from Brinkmann will never own one again.  
Brinkmann Balance vs Basis 2800
The Vector is the superior arm IMO and yes I've owned both. 
Walker sst treatment
Over the years the sst actually goes bad.  It's made with vegetable oil that turns rancid. I spent hours removing the stuff and my system sounded so much better.  
Taralabs cables
Keith have you looked at all the Tara cables on Agon? You will be lucky to get maybe 12k for both cables together. Heck I have tried selling NIB at BIG discounts and still have had very few sales. 
Taralabs cables
I have to disagree about using a full loom of Tara cables. I'm even a Tara dealer and I don't use a full loom. I tried using all Tara interconnects and the sound was way to lean. I now just use The 0.3 ic between my pre and amps and other brands t... 
Dodgy - Audio dealers?
Did they have an advertisement? What pre-amp were you looking at that it was your life savings?
