Alright, Ed, no problem.

As they say - road to truth has many turns. You of course would have to listen a little more but it seems to me that you definitely like Soulution/Magico match much more overall than Pass/Magico match. With the right cord on the amp and ideally al... 
How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment.
captain_winters and ct0517, appreciate your posts.I have been thinking about Studer and Otari half track only, not about Crown or Ampex or top Revox. Maybe I am wrong, not sure.Yeah, 7.5 and 15 ips speed, I don't think I will need 30 ips. I asked ...

Who cares about 30% overpriced if it sounds so good ? This particular dealer was absolutely correct in his recommendation. Dealers sell, this doesn't mean that they are all dishonest even to a degree. 
Amplifier for Harbeth 40.2
Only one road leads to Rome and that is always mono blocks, whatever the brand. 
Listening Levels for Classical Music / Slightly electronic sound at high levels
This is probably wrong but I think not impossible. What you hear might be your Pass transistors' artifacts that were masked by less resolving speakers. In my analog based solid state system I don't hear what you described, but there is always some...

I don't know much about digital but I did hear an opinion that many people underestimated the importance of digital cables. Just a thought.

My philosophy is to keep cables at least one step ahead of the active components because in this case I should be able to hear everything the active components are capable of. The same with power cords.Signal transmission is very important, and it... 
Listening Levels for Classical Music / Slightly electronic sound at high levels

Headphones? I could use your experience/thoughts.
Yeah, I've been using Grado 225 for a few years, mostly with computer. I had 80 before and I heard 60. I am also very familiar with RS -1. Wanted to upgrade to them but spent the audiophile money on something else. But I'll get them.

Do you think it is possible for some of you to take it outside of my thread ?  Please give it a try.
