Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor
No problem mate, I think I misunderstood! :-) 
Merlin TSM-MM vs. Tyler Reference Monitor
Cruz123, I have Taylo Refs on the way that will be used with a 40W Primaluna. I'll post comments and room dimensions/info if you would like. The speakers on the way are used and broken in. I do not believe the idea that any speaker must be better ... 
Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt
Boy are you guys missing out. Perhaps the best garage/psych album ever. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I'd to have some Tim Buckley on lp.Last night was:Dead Meadow: FeathersStravinsky: Firebird Suite (Dorati conducting)The Kinks: Singles collectionBelle & Sebastian: Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant 
It's funny how records are still best.
Vinyl is great. I just bought a clean $5 Van Halen (first album) that smokes the cd. Without any doubt, I don't have a classical cd that sounds as good as vinyl. Especially on classical, it's just much more musical and dynamic than cds. Another th... 
Axioms and Ascends
uh, that's "I do not believe the reviews are accurate". that was confusing. 
Axioms and Ascends
No, I do not believe the reviews are not accurate. You must have serious room treatments to have the Axiom's sound *really* nice with those metal tweeters. Axioms are priced so low for a reason. The people who make these speakers are smart enough ... 
What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000?

Moving to separates
You don't necessarily need separates. For tubes, you could get, say, a self biasing Primaluna integrated. It now comes with a mm phono board option ($160). Or a Cayin. 
What stole your attention from HiFi?
I'm "breaking in" :-) a giant schnauzer pup. This has put my audio hobby on hold. 
Our we Lazy?
I haven't heard a solid state amp for around $1k price range that sounds as good as a tube amp (tube rolling not include in $). 
Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2
Yes sir, I sure did and I like them a lot. Highly recommended. I also put in some Amperex 7316s and this gave a more energetic feel to the music. You can't go wrong, really. I liked this amp with the stock tubes for that matter. With the Mullards ... 
Is SACD a dead format?
Jayctoy, I don't have experience with more expensive players but I have a Pioneer 563. It is hard to tell a difference between this player and my Njoe Tjoeb.
