Magico A3
I was really excited to hear the A3 at AXPONA, and I was pretty underwhelmed as some of the others here have stated. Could be the show conditions, but I was not impressed with what I heard (I heard them on Saturday). I would like to hear them agai... 
"Best" mini-monitor?
Will second the recommendation of soix for the Joseph Audio Pulsar. I have a pair and they are outstanding, so I would not hesitate to recommend them. As far as I know Holm Audio is no longer a Joseph dealer. They do have a used pair of System Aud... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
My experience with the N100H has never given me an overtly "digital" sound. Quite the opposite. I was coming from  modded Mac Mini, which was quite good actually, I just wanted a one box solution and an iPad based control point. It was definitely ... 
High fidelity REVEAL interconnects
Do they have, or are they planning on offering an XLR/balanced version of the Reveal cables?  
Standmount speakers 4k-8k
I would also recommend you check out the Joseph Audio Pulsars. I own a pair and love them.  A used pair can be had for quite a bit less than your budget, or brand new within your stated budget. They are at their best with a set of Sound Anchors st... 
Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps
My experience was the same as tooblue. Pretty simple and my banana connectors (actually Nordost Z-plug bananas) worked fine and fit securely. I don't remember the pins being directional, but it's been a while so they very well could have been, but... 
What is the best way to add subs in my system?
I have been running the JL CR-1 crossover for almost a year now with a pair of Focal 1007BE monitors and a JL e112 sub. To my ears it is very transparent and works exceptionally well. Lightens the load on the speakers which is what you might, and ... 
Scansonic mb serie
I heard the 2.5's at AXPONA today in the Raidho room. Soundstage is HUGE. I was quite taken with what they did in that room. I don't normally say this and I hate to exaggerate, but my jaw was on the floor. I went home trying to figure out how to m... 
Digital Lens on Bridge of PerfectWave Dac I -MK II
Matthewlevy-No the Mk 2 is not just a Mk 1 with a lense on the other digital inputs. All the digital inputs did get a lens, but it is an entirley new digital board, which IMO made a big difference. I think you will find plenty of supporting eviden... 
Do you run a high end power cord on your sub?
Valinar-What neutrik cable did you upgrade to? 
Good Optical Coaxial cable under $200 ????
I couldn't hear a difference between digital coax cables until I tried the Creative Cable Concepts "Green Hornet" cable. Outstanding cable. Very natural sound. New they are about $300, but they pop up used every now and then just south of $200. Hi... 
Mogami speaker cables?
Hdm-I have seen that site before. It's a pretty interesting site, actually. If I am going to try the DIY route, it will probably be the 3104 that I try first. Why do you assume he is just using the cheapest model from the line? 
Mogami speaker cables?
Hdm-Thank you very much for sharing your insight. I am not sure which Mogami cable this particular member is using in his cable (they are not disclosing that). I am debating a DIY job like you have done, or purchasing some of his cables. He has ap... 
Mogami speaker cables?
Anyone? Surprised no one has any experience with these speaker cables here! 
reliable audio repair shop in chicago
I second Deltronics. I have used the Woodridge location for a number of my hifi repairs. They are honest, reasonable, and do good work. I am sure the Chicago location would be just as good. Highly recommended.
