Martin Logan Summits/Cary 805's, does this work?
You would do better with the Cary Anniversary 211's! Best! 
Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique
Trust me.If you compare any Lamm to the nice,yet overrated Kharma matrix your opinion of it will change!Not close!! 
CARY CAD 805 SIGNATURE
They should be SUPERB! 
Peak Consult Princess speakers?
Stereovox,your overall "web" demeaner is reason enough,for me,to want to do business with you,at a future point.Thanks for being so direct,as well as seemingly genuine! 
Graham 2.2 damping fluid amount?
Interesting,but the caveat is that the arm (2.2)is best voiced with a "combination" of fluid,in conjunction with downforce AND VTA.All three variables sort of "mix" to get the best performance.Maybe the SME stuff is better,but I'd check if Bob Gra... 
Vibraplane
Sojs,originally the feet were fixed.Now they have the newest TNT and are using the vibraplane with the "rubber balls",that the TNT now comes with.I asked wht they would want to double up the suspension,but it's not my system,so I sort of droped it... 
Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story?
Heavily modded Rs-1b's,driven with CJ Premier 8,pre/phono-CJ Art/CJ premier phono,Latest VPI TNT/with custom(not commercially available)metal and plastic platter,12.6 arm(though the former Air Tangent trumped it),Titan i cartridge,Krell mono bass ... 
E.A.R. 834P
I have a friend who has one.Compared it,by audiophile committee,with his Aesthetix(the lower priced model,about four thou)and is now looking around for quality NOS tubes,for it.It was far,and surprisingly,preferred to the Aesthetix.Any current,qua... 
Record Cleaning Machine
I own the VPI 16.5,but have a different viewpoint.After cleaning multiple lp's,with it,I cannot clearly decipher the very subtle inner details of the finest "first pressings" that my record collection is "rife" with! Good excuse to "sell" my wife ... 
Vibraplane
Sorry!I did not mention that both VPI's used were not with the VPI suspension,but a fixed one. 
Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?
I haven't gotten to the purchase point yet,so don't know where to get them.I would assume the website has the info.They do seem to be of real quality,as is much of the "Extreme Japanese Stuff"!I'm really leaning towards them,big time! Best! 
Anyone try Townshend Super Tweeters?
I hope some of you guys can elaborate on the following.I originally heard the Townshends on a speaker who's high end stopped at 17khz.They were th Sonus Faber Extremas,and were a fabulous match.The Sonus really benefited by the addition.STUNNING h... 
How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Sorry Raul,Heavy metal is NOT in my collection.Almost everything else is.I would never have guessed you like Heavy Metal!!!!!!Never thought you were a heavy metal guy!!!! Actually,other than my normal Classical,Jazz,and Avante Garde Classical,and ... 
WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET?
Rx8man,as of now everything I contemplate is still,only,speculation.The Isis does seem to be a superb design,but will need a large room.Also,the nominal impedence of four ohms/90 db sensitivity can still impact amp choice,so as with any previous c... 
Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3
For a completely indepent viewpoint,not owning the UNIV,but having heard it,for what I considered a lengthly listening session,it WAS/IS a very special design.Please don't get into what I,myself,was guilty of(in a somewhat related matter)!! The ca...
