Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Seeing as there are a few Line Magnetic 508ia cognoscenti on here, I have a question regarding your 300B driver tube experience. Has anyone used one of either the Elrog 300B or the EML 300B XLS as their driver. I know they do not meet standard 300... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
http://westernelectric.com/products/300b.htmlLooks like it's easter again. 
Elrog 300b's for sale. Your thoughts?
I have interest in purchasing the Elrog 300Bs. Have there been any other experiences since the last glowing post by diminishing_returns who surprisingly has that one and only post on audiogon? Have the reliability issues been ironed out - any user... 
Hot off the press: Yggdrasil review
I'm finding it hard to understand why it is okay for bigkidz to come apeddling his wares in a thread of a competing product. Blatantly extolling the virtues of his product without a care in the world for the grossly unethical stench it brings. Fir...

Finally! Good riddance to that troll.

Interesting to see his 'subtle' methods here as well:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/schiit-yggdrasil-dac?highlight=yggdrasilShilled his mods for the yggdrasil, which wasn't even available to market yet. Somehow he had an idea of mods for i...

Thread praising DAC1, shill comes on and completely derails thread arguing that DAC2 is better, and as a result thread dies and goes to purgatory. Shill doesn't disclose that he sells and makes a living off mods for DAC2. All is well with the world. 
Pass INT-30A with Acoustic Zen Adagio
I have no thoughts on the amp, but I can speak to the speakers. I had them in my system about 6 years ago, and strident or harsh in the high frequencies are the last descriptors I ever thought I would hear in reference to them. I'm glad you are ex...

I loved Sigh No More. However, loke Jaxwire said, this outing is pretty disappointing to me. It feels way more pop-oriented. 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
Todd, Broken Bells actually got me out of my Bon Iver loop, which I was afflicted with since last summer. Two great artists, all the same.

I enjoyed Danger Mouse's Rome a lot, but have not been able to pry his collaboration with The Shins' lead singer, self-titled Broken Bells, out of any musical source of mine. I recommend you fine gentlemen all check it out.

What time do you wear?
This thread seems to perpetuate the same theme we see in audiophilia. Enthusiasts excitedly talk about the intricacies and emotional delights of owning a beautiful, artpiece created by renowned artisans. Someone comes along and talks about how the... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
Allow me to throw some ballads into the mix. I nominate Joe Lovano on Charlie Haden's Nocturne for his work on the song, "Transparence". It embodies great musicality, poise and emotion. Also John Coltrane's opening effort to the song, "My One and ...
