Non-fatiguing speakers in $10K range?
Harbeth Joseph Audio Pulsar Verity Audio - on the used market  
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
I finally had a chance to test out my new Puritan Audio PSM 156 in two of my systems.   The effect of the PSM 156 was very apparent - a silent black background with clearer ambient sounds from the room acoustics in the recording, improved clarity... 
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
What a hilariously brilliant analogy - thank you!    
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
Though the ASR review includes a myriad of measurements, it fails to mention how the PSM 156 impacted the sound of music in an audio system. Surely any assessment of audio equipment should include listening to complex musical passages - actually ... 
A Better Way to Buy Gear - Help Needed
Is it an amp or a box full of bricks?  If he has not opened the box how does he know what is in it and in what condition it is in? I would never buy without proper photos, and never buy from someone with less than 100% positive ratings. If you a...

Sound intriguing!

Thx - I took the plunge and ordered a Puritan Audio PSM 156.

Thx - I will look into Shunyata Research - I was unfamiliar with them until recently.  
Luxman 509x or Simaudio 600iV2 with mágico A3.

Thx - the PSM 156 gets a lot of love!  
Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio?
I'm looking for a modest but effective power filter in a second system, more modest than the Accuphase PS-530 in my main system that replaced a PS Audio PP12 power regenerator.   
Help me understand the current amp market
The Luxman L-509x is a hugely capable amp (I have a 509u now in a second system).   I am not familiar with Wisdom Audio speakers, but having in-wall speakers could be the weakest part of your system.   Maybe you should be looking for speakers at...

I think the REF I5i is made by Furman, not Furutech... Sounds like you are enjoying the PSM 156 (not PMS!).  
what are the best sounding Accuphase or Luxman amps/preamps?
@sutts - sorry to hear that you sold them, but I'm enjoying mine.  There are so many factors between systems including speaker matching with the amp, sources, room, power etc. The Accuphase C-2450 + A48 preamp/amp combo are a noticeable improveme... 
slide in phono stage for Accuphase C-2450 preamplifier - is it any good?
Thanks to all for your advice and input. Here is my update: I installed a current production Accuphase AD-2900 phono unit into my C-2450 preamp. It is a substantial unit that is very well built, was easy to install and works flawlessly. The prea...
