EAR 868 VS Belles 21A?
I switched out the Mullards CV4003's and put back in the 1950's GE 5814A BP triple Mica and the speakers really opened up with a more natural presentation. I can easily hear deeper into the soundstage.

Davt, What tubes are you running? I'm currently running the Mullards CV4003 and also have a pair of GE BP Mica 5814A that I may put back in since I believe they have better detail and soundstage presence. 
Ayon CD2 is AMAZING

Speaker cables For Vandersteen 2CE sigs

Thiel CS 2.2 or B&W 804N
I have not heard the 804's but I did own the 1.5, 2.2 and 2.3. The 2.2 were my favorite, didn't like the sound of the dynamic drivers. 
Notes on Harbeth, Vandersteen, Avalon & Spendor
I received my Ascendant two weeks ago to replace my Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II and have put 400 hours of current through them, but probably more like 200 hours in driver workout. I have experimented over the last few days and was blown away when I mo...

Avalon Ascendant or Vandersteen Quatros?
Flg2001, I have just relocated from overseas to the USA and will be taking delivery of them within a few weeks. I can't wait to get them into my system. Anyone looking for a 18 months old Vandies 2 Ce Sig II? Wig 
Help choose a preamp ... Belles & Wyred
I'm using a Belles 21A with Auricaps and love it! I have both RCA BP and CV4003 Mullards and prefer the Mullards in my system. Wig 
New Audience Ultra High Resolution Adept Response
Guys, Is there a difference between the Audience and the Bryston Torus conditioner? 
A new CDP after my Rega Apollo or a new DAC?
Mightyburner, I was in the same situation about 5 months ago and decided to go with the Bryston BDA-1. It has made a difference in soundstage width, depth, detail and the magical act of the speakers disappearing. I listened again to the Apollo by ...
