What is wrong with negative feedback?
It is like a boob job. Too much and you are all over the place. 
Vivid Audio ???
Since they are designed by a x-B&W head designer, I wonder if the apple has fallen close to the tree? 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Simply put, Burmester 069 or 089 CDP/DAC/PRE. In my estimation, they are at the very, very top. All the sonic virtues of tubes and all the sonic virtues of ss. And I mean that in a very humble and forthright manner. 
Dehavilland 50A has anyone purchased one?
I have met Kara on several occasions. She is one of the most intelligent, friendly and passionate people I have ever met. And her products reflect her passion and love of recorded music.

Why CD players so expensive when the fomat is dead
I love it, that is in reponse to the OP. I can now buy used CD's on Amazon for $1.99!!! I play them on a very good Burmester 089 CDP/DAC/Preamp. 
Consensus Audio Magma?
Excellent review, and some very handsomely made loudspeakers. 
HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
I am in the same boat, deciding between the new B&W 802 Diamond, Salon2 and Focal Scala and Andra3 
Utopia Skala / Alto speakers anyone hear them both
Elviukai and Bar81: very good points, thanks. I am curious also on the upcoming Utopia3 subwoofer ($20K), with say the Diablos. I am so very interested in the monitor/sub vs ful range debate. In this case (Utopia3 sub) will be one of the best (if ...
