Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark?

Has your system changed the music you listen to?
Yes It has. The more we evolve our systems, exposing the textures, colors and nuances of the instruments the greater the possibility of enjoying the performance. Not to say that music cannot be satisfying when pouring from a bedside radio. I doubt...

Special Remote Control Need

Anyone Else Like Jimmy Smith?
For sheer musical magic, the Mosiac issue of the 1957 Blue Note sessions in New York are a must.Remote recorded by Rudy Van Gelder and produced by Alfred lion, the 5 LP box set ( Mosiac MQ5-154 ), and 3 Compact disc set contain all the original ma... 
Best Tube to eliminate RFI

Two of the guys in my audio group got their Wolcotts through me. They replaced their amps after hearing mine. (On Soundlab). However, they are both driving cone speakers:B&W 800 (Wolcott replaced his Krell mono blocks).Vandersteen 5's (Wolcott... 
Burn-in CD: Did it fry a midrange driver ???
Unless you were driving the speakers very loud and with an amplifier that was too low powered to control the drivers, I would say no.I don't know who's disc you were using, but the Purist Audio disc has been my favorite break in device for many ye...
