Dylan s 60th Birthday.
Garebear, Eminem is just a two dimensional pop creation, certainly not the place to seek any kind of true creativity. Yet, I remain optimistic. Certainly, we are not in the 60's. I think we just have to get past all the immediate junk that is avai... 
Amp for Vienna Acoustic Mahlers
Samlor2, I have a new Rowland Concentra II, the 112 and Synergy in one box. I have also heard the seperates. While I can't say if it is right for you, I would definately suggest you at least give it an extended listen. I have been through many amp... 
What Are Your Audio Morals?
My first two amps, first two sets of speakers and first cd player (about $5000 invested at one time) were purchased from dealers. That was for me a learning experience. I was not informed enough to do it any other way. Looking back, they were not ... 
What integrated with remote and phones

Power Cord for which COMPONENTS????
I have a Custom Power Cord on a Rowland Concentra II and an Essence Power Cord on on my Resolution Audio cd player. Surprisingly, I found the amp benefits more. The ac cord, combined with cones from Mapleshade (my latest addition), have turned wha...

Payment by paypal,keep your records
Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any way to guarantee a safe transaction when making deals on the web. Even a cod, with a deposit, can go wrong if the merchandise isn't as decribed, or worse, damaged. I basically trust people and use my int... 
Any experience with room correction ?
I heard the Tact at the Stereophile show in NYC today. I was very impressed by the demonstration. The others in the room were also. Music was demonstrated with the correction and without. Wow! The most noticable difference was the bass. Any muddin...
