Vapor Sound Audio/tons of Value for $$$$
And while you're at it, ask Mr Schroeder if he has ever taken delivery of the Vapor Joules he ordered some 10 months ago. I asked a couple months ago but was not favored with a reply. 
Salk vs Daedalus Speakers
Hopefully Audiotomb will see this post. He is moving from the Salks (the 8s I believe) to Daedalus after months and months of what have proven to be insurmountable problems with his Salks. BTW, this is his second pair of Salks.I would prefer to le... 
New Orleans high end stores?
Don't have any real up to date info on Jay but Audio Resource has been closed for probably five years now and, last I heard, Jay had set up shop in Baton Rouge but I think that operation has also closed down also. 
Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback?
Bybee products tend to be controversial but I'll be darned if I can see why. I have used his power cords, early models of his speaker bullets, purifiers soldered directly in line with the drivers of my speakers themselves and purifiers that go bet... 
any experience with Polymer Audio Research speaker
Peter Breuninger has a video tour of their room and an interview with the designer posted at AVShowrooms 
Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere
You would need to remove a specific driver tube from each amp (don't know which one) and replace each with a special shorting tube socket that Ralph sells. Gain on my M60s is reduced by 12 db (supposedly)using this tactic. 
New Orleans high end stores?

What's wrong with my almost new speakers?
On my keyboard "v" is just below "g". Hope this helps. LOL. 
Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well?
I think Geoff Kait is onto something. Is a speaker hooked up out of phase, possibly? Decay trails, intelligibility and sounds with a fine sheen are always compromised when phase/polarity reversals are present. 
PS Audio Power Plant Premier Issue
I was just quoted $500 to rebuild my vintage P300 within the last couple weeks. Elected to go a different route. 
More turntable set up problems
I'm not tryimg to sound absurd here but is your stylus broken off? 
A strange phenomenon
A few months back a very similar thread was started here by a poster with PSB speakers and a Musical Fidelity integrated. Going by memory alone, I believe he posted under the moniker "fishing716". Over 500 responses came in. See if you can dig it ... 
Record stores in New Orleans .....
If you can only go to one make it The Louisiana Music Factory at 210 Decatur St. on the periphery of the Quarter. Massive selection. 
For the sound, or?????
If anybody oughta know about buying thimgs for show it would be you because, like you always said "...I AM show business!" 
Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$
Been considering one myself. The only comment I can make is that you might want to read Jerry Siegel's review of the Prism Audio Orpheus and subsequent review of the Berkeley which he compares to the Prism. The webzine is 10 Audio.
