KIND OF BLUE
I have the Columbia recording on CD. It's awesome. 
Current - Class A vs Class A/B, various wattages
Hi Ralph, looks like you have a life mission to educate us so-called audiophiles about Rule 1 of Hi-Fi: amop/speaker matching. Mesaboogie, Ralph (Atmasphere), Al (Almarg) and I have communicated about this issue a "ba-zillion" times by now. It's a... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Ralph, Al, and Mr. Fishing..., just trying to be a detective, if this problem has occurred with other integrateds/amps, do we know if they use mosfets. If not, and all the amps pucker out with bass, what else is left to check. I've been harping ab... 
Soundsmith re-tips received today
My experience is the same as Syntax. Peter has re-tipped my Sound-Smith Zephyr 2 times for the right price. It's a killer combo on my VPI Classic. 
Anyone with cyrogenic treatment experience?
Yes. I cryo'ed my noisy wife. Background S/N specs unbelievably better afterwards. Highly recommended. ;>) 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Elberoth, This is my first time looking at your system. If it sounds half as good as it looks . . . , then WOOOWWW! Gorgeous job. Two questions. Dunno if you're married. If so, how do you keep your wife out?? My wife, bless her soul, invades my fi... 
Best Audio Electronics for Paradigm S8v3 Speakers
I own S8s (v3). Check my various posts on the Forum and you'll read all about my latest neurotic obsession -- amp/speaker electrical compatibility. I drive my S8s with an ARC VS-115 tube amp. For some insane reason that I do not understand, the co... 
Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations
Folks, this is my OP. I must insist that we substitute the word "spheres" or the term "rubber spheres" if you wish for the word "balls." And substitute the word "glasses" for the word "cups." I'm concerned that the A'gon "PC" police will shut this... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Ricred1, happy to oblige and end your suffering. It's the Mother Terresa part of me. I've had 2 CDPs before the ARC Ref CD-8. My first was a Rega, maybe the Apollo. Then I snatched up an ARC CD-7, which I liked a lot, but I always thought a bit da... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
P.S. -- of course try Ralph's suggestion about unplugging the digital. But I thought everything else has been ruled out. ???? :>( 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Lowrider and Al, my sense is that a Bryston separate amp would muscle its way through any power delivery barriers (short of a short) -- if that's the problem. Btw, admittedly, my Paradigms are about 3 db more sensitive than the PSBs. Even still, i... 
Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE
Mitch . . . as I have already said and I repeat myself for emphasis sake, as a previous owner of a Ref 3, the Ref 3 will go down as a clssic line stage, it's just that good. I wouldn't stress myself about it. I figure the cost to upgrade to a new ... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
Folks, Bo... is 100% correct. As a fellow member of the A'gon community, it pains me greatly that any of you would be suffering with those Wilson speakers, any model. So, I will take them off your hands at no cost to you of course. Send me a note ... 
Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE
Dbarger, sorry to come back so soon, but I pulled out my old Miles Davis CD, Kind of Blue. I am not BS'ing when I tell you that I can "see" where the trumpet and piano are in 3-D space. Even more -- almost the piano keyboard. Not bad for my "mid-f...
