Can all headphones handle HIGH Volume levels?
Hi Snap309. Try Sennheiser if you want to maintain the other audiophile qualities...quality manufacturing, very comfortable, lightweight and seriously good sound. If you just want bass, i hear good things about the Dr. Dres-endorsed Beat headphone...

Agree on Vandersteens...they have always (as long as i can remember...back to mid 90s) positioned themselves as great value for money speakers that do a lot of things well that other speakers cannot touch...and many other things at a level that is... 
Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color?
Yes!...it would indeed be interesting...pls post if you do. 
Preamps suitable for CJ ACT2 Series 2 preamp.
Whats the impedance of the YGs?...not the stated impedance...but the actual impedance across the spectrum as reported in any reviews? For example the SF STrad was 4ohms nominal...but actually 2.7 through 2/3rd of the spectrum below 700hz or someth...

Depending on how much bass you are looking for, then you've already said it...Sonus Fabers are wonderful and for 1500, you can buy a lot of SF these days...particularly if you go back 2 generations to the Electa Amators/Extrema generation. Maggies... 
Lamm 2L Reference vs CJ GAT
Yes, indeed! it is always a treat to be able to hear some of these systems...usually by being at the right place at the right time. Have heard big Tidal reference pre/amps, Tron Syren, Ref 5, MBL Ref, Evo One, ACT 2, GAT.

Nice equipment...if your YGs are similar to the larger Anats which i have heard, i would suggest very powerful tubes? CJ tubes to start with? If the big boys are too much, you can get the older big boys and have CJ replace with teflon capacitors.....

Good to know! i always understood Rockport used Gryphon electronics and Transparent Audio cables...even in their own website photos. 
How to improve on the 2 ch in my 5.1 set up?
Good luck!!! Go with 2nd Cary if you care about sound only...and go with 60 dollar dVD or blu-ray for video...or if you want extremely high quality audio and also blu-ray/video, go with Oppo.

Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color?
07-28-11: Sibelius@Agree with Dmailer. I also traded in a Massetto in for a Vosne Romanee and thought the change was pretty dramatic. I thought Art Dudley's review in Stereophile last November was right on the money in how he described the differe...

The ART 3 is one special piece...how many other preamps can anyone say has lasted that long as a true reference pre?

How to improve on the 2 ch in my 5.1 set up?
Hi Dtan,i'll share my own personal philosophy. i try my best to upgrade rarely...probably once/10 years if i can make it. Recently it has been a bit more often...but only because some once in a lifetime type opportunities came my way (twice actual...

Hi Onemug,I have only heard the ACT 2 series 1, but i have heard the series 2 is much better. Enjoy the ART 3!!! that is something special by all accounts (never heard). Speak with Myles Astor, if you wish...he has owned it as well, and also now h...
