This is a ridiculous thread. Not the initial inquiry but the followup postings. I have twice heard the Behold equipment now at the RMAF and THE Show. All can really say is that in both cases the room had one of the best, if not the best, sounds at the shows.
I doubt if I would take the jump into and entire digital to the amp system as I love vinyl, but there is little denying that all digital can sound excellent. Also the costs of this system are beyond where I am willing to spend.
I initially went to the Behold suite as Laufer Teknik is also the importer of the Halcyonics. These too are quite expensive active isolation devices. In this case I will adamantly say that nothing else even approaches what they do under sources, such as turntables and cd players, as well as under amps. I dearly wish that I could have them under everything in my system.
Manufacturers are permitted to post on Audiogon and fortunately so. Some who have been critical of this thread live in glass houses in terms of their own self interests. The price of European goods is high today because of the weak dollar, but that should not preclude discussions of quality components. All I would strongly suggest is that those who cannot conceive of buying these components realize that some can and may want to share their experiences.
