Best single-malt Scotch...
Hi Learsfool,Yes...i was surprised after many years of not trying it, that the Laphroig 10 year is actually quite good. I think the last time, i had yet to be introduced to real peat...and i found it way too smoky. Now that i find myself enjoy Isl... 
Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks
Hi Sidekick,Its great when many of the challenge are solved in a single moment. on a much smaller scale, i had 3 kinds of buzzing in my system when i dropped the new amp in. Frustrating. I had been waiting for the new SE-XLR cable to arrive for th...

Hi...funny, i was reading your post, and thinking CJ and then you eventually mentioned the name! i think you may like the 2500 series Conrad Johnson SS power amps. 
any one box amps that come close to monoblocks?
Look for amps described as dual mono, preferably where they describe it as 'true dual mono' where it literally is 2 separate power amps all the way from beginning to end (separate transformers, everything)...in the case of some dual monos (like Gr... 
300B Tube Rolling with Harmonix PAT 777 amplifier
Speak with Brent Jessee. brentjes@audiotubes.comHe is amazing...honest...i have now officially bought 14 tubes from him...all quite expensive, and one better than the other! I trust him, and i am 3,000 miles away in another country, so really no w... 
Isophon Cassiano with diamond tweeter
Hi Footix,I googled around a bit...no doubt you've done this already. Dick Olsher of Stereophile had very, very positive things to say about this speaker with Accuphase electronics. That says something to me...generally Accuphase is warm, Class A ...

Has anyone compared the CJ ET3 to the Premier 17LS

Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks
Hi Sidekick,100% agree with your last paragraph...100%. I have heard all the Guaraneris...original, the one that came after and the new Memento, as well. This Futura is far and away my favorite of the 3 Amatis. Far and away. As for using 2 sets of...

Fleetwood Mac Rumours 96/24
yes, if any one knows, please post! Mingles, i probably own closing in on 50 24/96 remasters. There are a few which were (honestly) a waste. The majority were excellent. I am listening to a 24/96 remaster of Vivaldi Four Seasons by Neville Mariner... 
Has anyone compared the CJ ET3 to the Premier 17LS
Hi Zkidd,If you get the ET3, please post your comparison!!! While i suspect I might be happier with the ET3, i also know that newer is not always better. In fact, my system was virtually the definition of older SOTA equipment for years until i for... 
Gryphon Colosseum vs. Karan M2000 monoblocks
Hi Sidekick,Interesting amps...let us know what you think. Certainly look cool! Which ones are you using at the moment?Remember that Franco Serblin was often known to use Berning (boutique company) OTL amps (output transformless or something) with...
