PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength???
After speaking with Gordon at Wavelength today it seems like its now down to his Cardinal amp (US$7.5K) vs Art Audio PX25 (US$6.5K) which is a 300B vs PX25 choice. Gordon's Saturn PX25 amp is good for 8-16 ohm speakers and mine are a nominal 6 ohm... 
PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength???
Boa2 - thanks again for sharing your experience. Certainly a case of buyer beware . . .Gliderguider - I wasn't aware of your extended waiting period (memories of the Blowtorch preamp, eed gad) followed by the dissapointing realization that it now ... 
Daisy chaining Line Conditioners
I spoke with Joe the owner of Art Audio today about his amps and if plugging them into my Equi-Tech would be fine and he had something interesting to say besides 'yes, it'd be fine.' He said that the reason amps often don't sound any better and so... 
PX25 SET amps-Art Audio, Audion, Wavelength???
Thanks all for your comments. I know of one Audiogon member that had terrible luck with an Audion product and worse luck trying to get the distributor and manufacturer to resolve it (but I guess every company has one skeletan in the closet) so I'm... 
FAB audio 1 speakers, how good are they?
Audiojoy4,I too own the FAB Audio Model 1 speakers like Gliderguider above and share his sentiments about its characteristics. I first heard them at the Montreal audio show back in early April 2005 and they and one other room (WLM speakers + Audio... 
Daisy chaining Line Conditioners
Tbg - thanks for your insights into combining different technologies. Besides not liking the Equi=Tech plugged into the Sound Application, may I ask what you liked or didn't likeabout the Equi=Tech plugged directly into the wall? 
Daisy chaining Line Conditioners
Sundance45, you have lots of line conditioning gear - do you daisy chain them?My theory is that filter-types lend themselves to daisy chaining benefits whereas power regeneration units (e.g. Equi=Tech, PS Audio) may not benefit from adding filter-...

Thanks Mike for the correct FAB Audio link to their website and also the correction about their source component. All corrections aside, the FAB room still sounded . . . er, fabulous.

Thanks for your thoughts Audiogabby, Tubegroover and Goldorak. You all make good points related to very good sounding rooms - Verity Audio with its assorted amps/electronics and Aurum which is a $30K holistic and complete system in which Aurum bui...

KEF Reference 104/2 LF response
Hi Donbellphd,I have owned the KEF Ref Series 104/2 speakers for about 7-8 years and I would say that the bass is a bid shy in this model as it rolls-off around 40Hz. Using test tones from a stereo setup test CD, you really have to crank the volum...

Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers?
Tomryan -- thanks Tom for your thoughts. I've done some more thinking and: (1)since the multi-CD disk feature is for parties, then top-shelf performance isn't required, and (2)I'd like to begin to exeriment with SACD so getting its capability with...

Tomryan,Would you buy a used Sony SCD-CXXXES for its SACD capabilities?I too didn't think Adcom produced a cd changer . . .Kevinzoe
