Who has the oldest speakers?
1977 Klipsch La Scala's, which will go into a second system once we get our 1978 Klipschorns delivered in the next couple months. We've spent far more, and had much newer, but not found anything we like more.

Our rather, this Rives: http://www.rivesaudio.comSorry about that.

Don't know if this applies, Stehno, but when we changed furniture (took out a small couch), the bass went bye-bye. Anything different in that department?Other than that, ask Jeeves...I mean, Rives.http://www.rives.com 
Is this ludicrous or not?
And I thought I was crazy, Eldartford, when the dealer pushed play on the Mephisto CDP, and the unit self-rotated towards...well, Audio Mecca, naturally. 
Is this ludicrous or not?
Timrhu, I strangely had a similar experience when I purchased a used pair of speakers, a $6500 pair no less. But in my case, it was with a set of IC's. My wife called me at a friend's house to say that she thought the speakers sounded lousy (mids/... 
Mating power cords with APL 3910
Tried the Virtual Dynamic Nite I, and the music did not breathe as well as with the EG Mini Khan Plus. It sounded more shrill, and forced. The cord was also a bugger to work with--VERY stiff. I then tried the Ultra Khan Statement Revision II, and ... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"Waiting 'round the bend, my Huckleberry friend."--Moon RiverMakes me smile every time. 
APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
Alex,Are you trying to tell me what I have in MY machine? What nerve!Sorry I mispoke. I said I was non-techno.Howard 
APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
Sorry if that was vague. I have the 16-bit (data word) upsampler, and if Fplanner2000 just received his player, he would have the 24-bit, which is said to be much improved. 
APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler?
It should be said that Fplanner2000 has the improved version of the upsampler. My comments are based on the previous version, which I'm having upgraded in a week or so. 
Is this ludicrous or not?
You know, it all makes sense to me. Because without that .75 cent cuppa jo in the morning, I too am "bereft of tension, energy, color, communicativeness, or any true sense of music." 
Speakercables : cool cold and frantic drive.
Grisslehamm,You've initiated this thread--or one closely related--five or six times already. Have you been taking any of the recommendations and trying different speaker cables? Why do you keep asking the same question every month? 
Ways to clean up the wall power for SET amp?
With the Wright 2A3's (if you go that route), the PC's are captive, so not even a consideration there. Get some good NOS tubes, and plug the amps straight into the wall...the one with the dedicated circuit, according to those in the know. 
Upgrading my SET amplifiers?
Very nice setup, Pablo. When I spoke of the source, I meant the CD player and/or turntable. Upgrading the source has had the most significant effect on the music in my experience. The amps, speakers, and cables can only work with what they're give... 
cdp digital volume control or preamp?
Eldartford,When we purchased our CD player, I asked the manufacturer/modder about information loss as a result of the digital volume control his player uses. If I heard him correctly, I believe that he said that any loss of information would not b...
