Why so many Plinius for sale lately
In the past few years, I have owned a number of amps, including two Plinius', two Krells, a Classe, Sim Audio, Bryston and a Rowland Concentra II. As strange as it may sound, I liked every one of them. They all had strengths and weaknesses. My opi... 
Classe vs Levinson
With any amp in this price range there are tradeoffs. I love the warmth and musicality of the Classe CA 400. It comes down to your preferences and system matching. Classe matches very well with a number of tube preamps, and there is no reason to s... 
Audible Illusions Contact....Help
Try this number. It is the one in the manufacturers list here on Audiogon. 925-463-2380 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
Dylan has never been willing to be the spokesperson of the times. I think it is best to seperate the art from the artist. The art will be here in a hundred years. Puff Daddy (unless he's remembered for something other than music, a possibility), M... 
Bob Dylan, have an opinion?
I was at a party where they were playing Andrea Bocelli. Someone said: "Imagine being able to sing like that". I thought to myself: Imagine being able to do anything that well.. inspired, near perfection, with nothing in the way.That's how I fell ... 
amp and speakers break in
How can you know if they reach their potential if your cd player and interconnects are of poor quality? At some point you will change them, and then wonder about their burn in. I would suggest you get a cd player, burn everything and then test int... 
best integrated for kef105.3 4ohm
Check the specs on the Sim Audio Moon I5. Only 60 watts, but it may be stable to 2 ohms. I also know of an Aragon 4004 for sale, as mentioned in the post above. You can email if you are interested. 
The Band remasters
I just bought the rematered best of Vol. 1, and am very disappointed. The sound quality is quite poor, and a distraction. 
Want help for my system
The YBA and Goldmund are two excellent choices. You should listen to them both in your system and make a decision based on your preference. You've already got other good components. I think the solution is pretty simple. As stated by Adsal above, ... 
Cable assist needed Krell Amp Thiel CS6
I owned a Krell integrated , and the most sucess I had was with Cardas Golden Cross interconnects and Cross Speaker cables. I would probably substitute the Golden Reference interconnects today. I have a pair on my Rowland integrated, and think the... 
Music trivia anyone?
Rcprince. The best radio station in NYC, is public radio from Fordham U., WFUV, 90.7. It is listener supported, public radio. A number of the djs from WNEW's best days, are working there now, although I prefered the station with lesser knowns. I a... 
Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Last night I was up late. Just couldn't turn off the TV. I love infomercials. Got so many great deals, I'm saving tons of money! 
I don,t Understand ????
That is ridiculous. Thanks for the warning about them. I was just considering using their speaker cables. On the other side of this, I recently needed to change my Jenalabs XLRs to rca. I asked about retermination. I was told that they would just ... 
Music trivia anyone?
Or was Super Session right after BS&T? 
Music trivia anyone?
Is Frogman right? I would have said: Kooper, Blumfield and Stills. And Steven Stills was the Guitarist. "Super Session"
