JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo
i have a pair of divas. it takes a lot of trial & error with cables to achieve coherence. Resolution is truly amazing but very sensitive to changes in the chain. 
Better SS amp than my Bryston?
used to have 4bsst. pass 150.5 is significantly better in smoothness, detail, ease of presentation unless a lot of power is needed 
Pass XA 160 review:life span is 6 years?
Even the sun does not stand a chance against fedex & UPS ground 
Power cord to add ease and tame treble.
You guys are absolutely right. With the PS audio P300, i'm right where i want it ( at least for now ). Why does dirty AC affect the treble more than other frequencies? 
Best sacd player
lol lazarus28. I'm semi-asimulated by smiling. I'm getting the Modwright 999es after reading his thread and the audiocircle dac shootout.I'm weak minded.Gotta admire similings energy and effort.

Thanks for your posts, guys. I mean it.Mike in NC. No room treatment. Room has heavy curtains both side wall with couch & heavy rug on wood floor. I am happy with the midrange & base balance now. Room treatment has more effect on low midra... 
Hi Fi burnout.
One can never burnt out on audiogon. I spend more time on the GON than listening to music. Very addictive 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Kudos to AVGURU & 711. 
TV with HDMI only & VOOM support only DVI
Thanks, you guys are awesome. 
"Upgrade" C-J MF2500A to Pass X250, SimAudio, Or?
Don't stree oout with balanced connections. The pass x250 can sound great with tube preamp without balanced output. I prefer certain tube pre over X1 with my x150. don't know about CJ2500 vs x250 
Pass Labs X-1 Preamp Questions:
i owned x1 & find no diff stacked or not. yes, it's ever so slightly lean & lack bloom but very quiet and accurate. try cardas gold ref or gold cross. 
Rotel RB-1080 and Sonus Faber GP?
freind of mine has vac avatar with GP. sounds great. 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
The 201 works well with diva, too 
Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few?
rowland 201 has a purer sound & darker background compare to pass X150.5. Pass however has a touch more warmth and piano note is more weighty but less details. Both goood.
