Amp for Verity Parsifal encore
Does anyone have an opinion on the EAR 899 integrated with the P/E? I've heard the P/E with EAR separates and the combination was amazing.Thanks. b 
who has done the ARC REF5 upgrade to SE
I spent a few 10k on arc gear thinking it would get me somewhere. No cash going in that direction again. 
Pink Floyd Final Cut remaster....
Been spending some time with the latest remaster of the Final Cut. 2011.Very dynamic. Always meaningful. 
Don't read you'll be sorry
You from North Jersey? Michigan usually goes a little softer.Who knows but you are probably a good guy.I like the thread but the theater is kind of weak. 
Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2?
Maobacks, what are you looking to change? What are some of your components? Series 2 has the same clarity, staging, dimension, and transparency as the original series. It adds more weight, body, warmth, "whatever," you want to call it. The decisio...

His listing is from White Plains near Scarsdale. Very affluent area.Probably true but there might be some backyard fantasy "mixing" on the second turntable :^) 
What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam?
Not a cable but maybe a used pair of F113 subs, or I love my Rel Stadium III? Might pick up another one some day.I've gravitated towards Nordost cables for hodgepodge of reasons, and am very happy with them in every regard.FWIW, or quite ridiculou...

Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
The series 2 is awesome. I am still trying to figure out what is going on because I replaced everything but a couple of Valhalla cords. I would say they have much improved clarity and slightly more transparency, with much more emotion. Maybe that ... 
Transparent or Nordost?
Replaced all old Nordost cables with new series 2. Crazy difference all for the good. Replaced Frey for 2 series and tyr for tyr2 series. Still have some valhalla mixed in. Sound is smoother without any loss of detail on either end. Dynamics incre... 
Suggestions for CD/DVD player for my mac mini
You put the cd's in the mini to burn them. Not sure about DVD's. I have another player for that. 
PA Speakers for Parties
With average tuition coming in at $25k/yr. you need to get more funding. Assess each member $500. Get something sweet that will put you guys over the top when it comes to the hottest raves in town.I don't think this is the right place to look. Thi... 
The ideal auditorium? Blank canvas
Looks awesome, much nicer than a crypt. Feng Shui principal is to have doors and windows visible from the sitting or sleeping position. Idea is that you should be able to see who is entering. I once lived in a house with a glass wall on one side o...
