Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
Slingshot- didn't realize the Reimyo was under $2,500- hmmm...Kehut- had a long talk with Steve Nugent a couple o' days ago. He likes the post-mod ECD-1, but his 'baby', or the one that REALLY floats his boat, is the post-mod Perpetual P3ALoudandc...

Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Player
can the volume control be bypassed? I use a preamp that is necessary for other sources due to a mixed 2-ch/HT system... 
Anthem AVM 20 vs AMV 30
I've heard the Anthem stuff, and was less impressed than with my previous Sim Audio Attraction (uses EAD digital internals). I would definitely go with and EAD product over the Anthem, HOWEVER, I have not thoroughly auditioned the new Statement se... 
Distance from the speakers to the seating position
also depends on the speaker- i.e. most of Coincidents' models use a twin midrange setup, or D'Appolito arrangement. You need at least 8 feet from the speakers for proper driver integration... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE vs. SFL2
I use a very tricked out SF Line 3, and also have had an SFL-2. The Line 3 is a superb preamp- very neutral, however the SFL-2 is also excellent, and has the ability to add some 'body' if the rest of your components are perhaps not as 'fleshed out...

Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
Elgordo- one of my buddies has a Gen Va- it's ok, but his analog rig kills it! He is NOT using the digital lens though- curious if that would make a difference. I have a GW Labs DSP signal enhancer/jitter reducer that I find makes a small but noti... 
Importing used Audio equipment to Canada
I am in Canada, and have been doing this for years. The problem is, our Canadian Customs tacks on 15% of whatever is declared as the value of the item, not to mention brokerage charges and any applicable duties. This seems ridiculous to me, as we ... 
Pathos Classic One with Aerial 7's?
be careful on that. I found my 7's responded better to more power, and I think that 87db is a bit generous...

bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro?????
that being said, my vote also would be EAD all the way. After enjoyin a Sim Audio Attraction for years (EAD digital board internals), I can heartily recommend EAD, and would move to their latest pice myself if I were to get back into HT...
