| 845 Tube Amps 'Solista was good, Verona & Aurora much higher level of performance - and unfortunately, much higher price as well.. | |
| 845 recommendations from actual experience 'I found the Psvane 845Ts to be beautifully made.They sounded very good.But my Auroras simply weren't compatible. They was apparently wearing out the Psvanes.I recently spoke with Amedeo, VIVA designer and head man, and he actually felt that the o... | |

| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? 'In my system, my QB-9 is better than my C5xeMP.And it's outperformed other CX5s & CS7s (and for that matter - every CDP regardless of cost) on various locations where I was voicing a system.I believe (not stated as fact, just opinion) that mu... | |
| Rick Schultz`s new cable *I've heard these cables and they are truly excellent.The sound was above my expectations.One pair of early prototypes did have problems with RCA pins.Haven't heard the production versions as I primarily use balanced cables.. | |

| Power handling capability of original Quad esl 57s -Regarding its sound, don't forget that the 405 inverts signal polarity.- | |

| Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard? .Viva Solista. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. .What a shame.... | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? -I disagree with your conclusions completely.As do many others, including the late John Dunlavy.- | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room -The only successful technique that I've found in small square rooms is a 45 degree set-up.This tricks the room into performing as if it has different dimensions.All else, no matter how much you spend on room treatment, or move things around, cann... | |
