Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
There is little I can add after Ben Campbell’s thoughtful and well stated viewpoint other than after many hours of listening to his music and attending concerts is that no matter how much you think you know an artist through their music I gained a... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I have to agree with the Linkwitz Orion's. I, like many of us, have owned many speakers. From Ohms, to Maggies to Planers to high-end dynamic's etc. etc.. My jos allows me to travel extensively so there are also a lot of speakers I have auditioned...

does a stereo system sound like live music ?

Tube turning black
David,It has been my experience that when a tube is turing black like you describe that it is being stressed and something is wrong. 
Tube's needed, 6922's or equal for Preamp Qty.3

difference between ipod models in sound quality ?
Its funny but I have a SOTA home syatem and I find myself using the ipod more and more. I think the sound is outstanding really, that is, with a great set of ear buds or phones and with a good micro amp. I guess to me its music first and the abili... 
A blood oath among Audiogonistas
It seems that no matter what anyone posts at this site some people either take it out of context or are contentious with it. Davt for your edification, I simply e-mailed and asked a person why they posted in all caps, hence my response. Thought pe... 
A blood oath among Audiogonistas
