EMM-Labs XDS1 vs Esoteric K-01
I sold my Burmester 089 (excellent player FWIW), and bought a GNSC Statement Wadia S7i. I betters my old 089 in every way except the Burmester is a little "warmer". But, the S7i does take a long, long time to break in with the Black Gate caps, but... 
XLR to RCA Adapters
Forgive me, but I skimmed through this thread and could not (or did not) find the answer about what is best to use between balanced amp and single ended preamp. In my case a balanced only Burmester 911 MK3 and RCA only Concert Fidelity CF80-LSX. R... 
Anyone ever hear Conrad Johnson Premier 9 Dac
I am sad to say I had and sold a Premier 9 for several years and even had the caps upgraded. Awesome DAC. I now have a GNSC Statement Wadia S7i. 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
I can buy cd's 0n Amazon for $2.99 up to $7.99 and play them on my Wadia GNSC S7i and also use it's USB and digital inputs to listen to hi-rez. I have the best of both worlds. 
XLR for WADIA 860
I would take the Nexus2 for price/value. Outstanding cable. have heard great things about CH cables as Krell_man has mentioned. Also check out Prana Wire. I have Nexus 2 for the record for my Venture CR-8 Signatures.This is an awesome combo so far... 
Please, help me choose speakers for my Graaf GM200
Any speaker with Beryllium tweeters, me thinks. 
Any users of Teresonic Clarison speaker cables?
The silver or 24K gold are both outstanding, better IMHO then the Nordost Vahalla's. 
The 3 kings: Esoteric K01,EMM XDS1,Meridian 808.3
LOL. I can now say the GNSC Wadia S7i, is bar none, the greatest CDP/DAC known to ma. Now, if I put a :) face to this, will some of you humorless idiots get it? 
Concert fidelity amps
I am running the CF 080 LS/X with a Burmester 911 MK3 amp into Venture CR-8 Signature speakers. I used to have a pair of Artemis EOS (loved them!) but without the big base enclosure. I am also using Steve @ Great Northern Sound Company, but he is ... 
Concert Fidelity audition program
I am also using my CF 080 LS/X with Venture speakers-the CR-8 Signatures. My next upgrade will be bigger Venture speakers, when I move my system to a much larger room. I am using a Burmester 911 MK3 amp and the synergy between these units is awesome. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
IMHO, I really like my new Burmester 911 MK3. Can't wait till the MK4 comes out.:) 
Any one compared a Lampizator to Weiss 202 DAC?
I have always been a fan of Lukas. I love his passion and tinkering with audio gear. But, I have also respected Steve at Great Northern Sound Company (another modder-but worked many years at Wadia), and bought the new Wadia S7I with GNSC Statement... 
All time favorite speaker cables
FMS Nexus 3 is a winner! (IMHO:)) 
Personal amp evolution
Now have Burmester 911 MK3. Very happy happy.:) 
Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4
I had a SL RG1 MK3 many years ago. I used a modified Klimo Merlin preamp to great success.
