Line Magnetic 501-a gold? any experience?
I recently auditioned the LM 518 mated to a pair of Harbeth 7es-3s, the same combination Tim Smith used in his wallofsound.ca review. It sounded absolutely horrible. Congested, bloated, dull, slow, and completely devoid of any dynamics. Everything... 
Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic
I recently auditioned the LM 518 mated to a pair of Harbeth 7s, the same speaker Tim used in his excellent review. It sounded absolutely horrible. Congested, bloated, dull, slow, and completely devoid of any dynamics. Everything from the lower mid...

New EAR Yoshina Acute CD Player?
The Cary is a terrific CD player; in fact, I'm really hoping the Romulus can bring it because while the Cary is a bit long in the tooth, it's still very capable. That said, I have no need for two players so I'd certainly be willing to let the Cary... 
New EAR Yoshina Acute CD Player?
Thanks Jafant, I've taken the plunge on the Romulus which I'm expecting to arrive in a couple of weeks. It will be replacing my current source, a Cary 306 Professional. I'm a beliver in keeping it simple, the Romulus will be paired with an LFD NCS...

Shunyata Zitron Python Burn-In?

Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source?
Lmacuuga, just to be sure I'm clear, your friend bought the Oppo BD-95/105 it solely based on it's two channel cd capability? What source prior to the Oppo?

Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners
Rgd, There is definitely a lack of synergy with the Bryston, which really isn't to surprising often occurs when one makes the type of significant upgrades to amp and speakers as I have, as well as, the fact that while the Bryston is a good player,... 
Better Upgrade Path? Better CDP or add a DAC?
