Help: my neighbor is killing my music....
Jay, are you still planning on moving? That sounds like the best relief yet. That, or headphones. Hope to see you soon!Howard 
When audiophiles visit for a listening session
Nate, are we part of your creative writing group and just don't know it? 
Amp Help ICE or Class D
They've outperformed every amplifier (regardless of type or class) I've ever heard or used (to the best of my recollection).I'd be interested in knowing what all of those other amplifiers were, Plato. And the rest of the system, and type of music ... 
Best speakers with Pass labs X-350.5
I heard the X350.5 with the Tyler Woodmere speakers, and it really sounded terrific. Soundstaging and musicality that outdid the Chimera to my ear, and a midrange that was creepy good. And I admit it, I am not a fan of solid state.Best of luck. Th... 
Help with speaker cables and interconnects
Are they not working for you, Snook2?http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?cablspkr&1125341470 
Silverline Sonata work ok with Cary 300B SEI
Have you been spying on us? Because we had an XA7ES as well! Only joking, of course.Whether or not the Cary would be what you want, I can't say. I'm a huge fan of the SET sound, and it really changed the way that my wife and I listen to (and buy) ... 
Silverline Sonata work ok with Cary 300B SEI
Alan Yun (Silverline) demonstrates his speakers with a 7W 300B SET amp, and we drove our Sonata II's with the same power. Plenty of punch to drive everything, until you get to hard rock (a la Tool), where I personally felt like the bottom end just...

About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Oh, and you're in for a treat if you do come. Amoeba Records in SF (and Berkeley) is phenomenal. And I promise, as much as my wife cries in longing each time we pass by the massive IKEA furniture store, I won't make you go. For my own selfish reas... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat,That is one hilarious story. Maybe you were unwittingly the protagonist in the SF version of "The Truman (Capote) Show"Don't worry. When we go to SF, I'll make sure we're scoping in on the REAL women. I've got a trained eye for that sort of th... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Lance says that he wants to be remembered first as a cancer survivor, because that has shaped his life more than anything else. He certainly would never have won the Tour de France had he not gotten cancer. He didn't have the body, and he certainl... 
What's the "worst" cdp for the money?
That's Bachman Quacker Motordrive, and I do hope you pick up our new album. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat,How is it possible that the Tour de France starts tomorrow, and while all eyes will be on Lance (going for his 7th straight victory), I won't be able to stop thinking about you climbing up those mountains? You've had that much of an impact on ... 
Whats your opinion of modern horn loudspeakers?
I've heard some pricey offerings from Zingali, Avantgarde & Odeon. While I like many aspects about each, I still prefer the sound of a vintage Klipsch. Not perfect (no speaker is IMO}, but to my ear, they have zippo personality. 
What's the "worst" cdp for the money?
IMHO law of diminishing returns kick in much quicker when it comes to cd players, the difference between a $500 cd player and a $5000 cd player is not very big, unlike speakers or turntables. I personally don't see any merit in purchasing a cd pla...
