| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre 07-20-15: Bdp24Long hair on a male is not a hippie aesthetic, it's a Native American one. I represent that remark ;-).To what degree do you represent that remark? My wife and I are both essentially Norwegian/Scottish, but she is also an 1/8 Cherok... | |

Maybe the Isis but it's hard to find anywhere and I don't think it will give me the dynamics and low frequency extension I'm after. I love horns and looks at many. My room is just... | |

| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, what about horns like Cessaro? There is also Trenner which are bottom ported. I know Jeff at High water sound is in NYC and you could at least hear them there. Also, I think Trenner may have a dealer in NYC... |
