Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?
I say be careful what you wish for. I had the old Vandersteen 5's and loved them in many ways but I stopped listening to things like flamenco and small scale acoustic music. I really missed the vibrant and lifelike qualities that I like. As good a... 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
Some would rather get taken out by a MIG than get quantum tunneled. I have to say that I fall into this camp.This guy just didn't understand the proper setup of the vibratron. He clearly didn't know what he was getting into. 
Anyone tested the Synergistic Research Vibratron ?
I know a guy who was quantum tunneled with the vibratron. He was never quite the same. Wait, are we talking about the same things? 
Grills ON or Grills OFF?
Grills are like bras. No need for them unless children are around. 
Speaker Cables for VANDERSTEEN 5 speakers
I had a hard time pulling good upper mids and highs from my 5's over the couple years I owned them.I wouldn't spend too much on cables because of the weird terminations. I had a friend with Nordost Tyr's that fit but they still didn't do it.I thin... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
I've got the mini with a QB-9 dac and love it. Be careful what you wish for with hi-rez files. I've downloaded many many 192 kHz files and most suck. The hi-rez game has been something similar to a scam IMHO, at least from some companies.

What is "low ball"
I didn't engage him at all. Just too many oddities in a generic email. Offering $50 more and telling me to cancel the ad. Having his mover pick it up? Just seems like someone looking to cause trouble. Will his mover need my social?In regards to lo... 
What is "low ball"
I got this email regarding a pair of cables I'm selling. Not low ball but worse in my opinion. Looks like phishing: Good Morning, Thanks for your response to my mail, I hope it is in good condition like it stated because I have taken a close look ... 
ANY SUGGESTIONS ON
Since I can't email members anymore I guess I'll go with the rest.Good Luck,b 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
01-24-12: TurbogloI'm not sure I understand the contentious debate between those focussing on placement/treatment issues and those focussing on equipment issues. It seems pretty obvious that neither good equipment set-up poorly, nor bad equipment ... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
The speaker is what everything plays through. Chances are, if you get a speaker to your liking, the system will be easier to build.If you like the Maggie sound, I think buying a pair of Maggies is a step in the right direction.Also, be sure to get... 
Opinions on Nordost Frey with Simaudio and Dynaudi
Can't speak to your specific components but I have all Frey, Tyr, and some newer Red Dawn LS cables and they never seem bright or thin.I am getting awesome dimension and air in my room. I also have a QX4 and QB8 power supplies.I would say that if ... 
B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1?
I've been thinking of these models too but I'm not sure which best fits the decor of my NYC condo:http://realestate.nytimes.com/sales/detail/56-1264274/FIFTH-AVENUE-NEW-YORK-NY-10075
