Amp recommendation for RS6
I used a CJ mf2250 with Silver 5i's...was an excellent combo. 
CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos

has anyone compared Nordost Frey ICs vs Valkyrja
I just upgraded to a pair of Frey IC from Hemidall. The Fry are XLR, the Hemidall are not.From what I can tell, the Frey retains the charecteristics of the Heimdall while dropping the noise floor, adding a deeper bass range (maybe not as lound in ...

Cardas Twinlink Interconnect

Speaker cable with crazy BASS ??
Liquid Ceramic...Sounds wild...! 
DACs with volume control ?
I saw/heard a PWD dac that was upstream from some big Maggies, recently. It looks cool as heck, system seemed to sound pretty good. I was not able to audition it, though. It looks GOOD. Did I say that already ? Touchscreen... 
DACs with volume control ?
Thanks very much for all the suggestions. Dpac996, I have a Pass 105.5 running into Piega C8s. Trying to get that ribbon tweater to come to life. I have been thinking about the Belcanto, but have not heard it run directly, so you vouching is extre...
