Raidho C1.1
EBM, much better than the Magico Q1, don't you agree? 
Raidho C1.1
It is my understanding that Raidho Acoustics previously had two high end product lines which were labeled Eben and Ayra, with the latter (Ayra) aimed at ultimate performance. Not sure if Eben was trickle down performance from Ayra or Ayra was a ho... 
Accuphase E-460 vs Luxman 509u vs Moon 700i
Moon 700i is still in production and is Simaudio's top integrated, yes?

Tbg, have you considered getting your Tidals updated with the black graphite drivers to reflect current production? 
Acoustic Energy AE1 MkIII vs Proac Response D1
Zekezebra, I share your enthusiasm for the AE brand, but in the interest of fairness it is my understanding that the Super Tablette was the second generation Tablette design and came out around 1985. I should know as I have a set of Super EBT's (E... 
Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?
Ric Sanders of Fairport Convention and the Ric Sanders Group, really a jazz violinist at heart but has a style that defies all categorization. Really the finestviolinist/composer of anyone on this list.

I tried a BMC S1 solid state stereo power amp (200 wpc) and it was revelatory compared to an Einstein LITD tube hybrid on my Piano Ceras. The Einstein is a great piece but this simply confirmed my suspicion that Tidals love power and I won't consi... 
Avalon modified drivers vs. Accuton originals
Unfortunately I think you better pony up and go with the Avalon sourced pair. In addition to pair matching, there are other modifications that Avalon does in house that are part and parcel to the crossover design. Now if you can find out exactly w... 
Great Organists in Rock
Tony Kaye of Yes. In fact one of the reasons he left the band was his unwillingness to experiment with new keyboard technologies. 
Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound
Ebm, finally your sense of humor is showing! For a long time I thought you were simply a Magico cheerleader. 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I have the latest generation Elrod Silver Statement speaker cables and power cords. I don't find them to be dark at all. If they sound dark in the system look elsewhere as they are tonally the most neutral and transparent products (in their catego... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
I have had the same experience with the 1050 which I bought in February. I would be inclined to think that a dedicated line would not make a difference. 
The Audiophile's Wife
My wife (now separated) has threatened to throw water on my rig when I was out of town on a family emergency. I think she was drinking at that time, but for peace of mind I have since boxed everything up for my own mental health. Can anubody here ...

I love my Piano Ceras and to my amazement they sounded quite wonderful when driven by the class D Spectron Musician III Mk II power amp and Wyred-For-Sound's STP-SE linestage. Was surprised at the difference over my Einstein LITD hybrid power amp.... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
How about sneaking things out of the room which has now become my issue? After too many outbursts and threats to pour water on my rig when I am out of town, I have decided to crate things up until the dust settles. Funny thing is that if she belie...
