How does sound change when tubes start to fail?
I have yet to hear an EH tube I like. NOS! NOS! NOS! 
Are you bored to tears with the topics lately?
The Da Vinci Code? You mean that dumbed-down, sanitized P-O-S version of the master work, "Foucault's Pendulum"? Jab-jab-jab, ducking quickly to avoid the onslaught of the tenth order of the Dan Brown-lars...Oh, and Lakefrontroad, what's with the ...

Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions
X,I found the silver to be bright in my system as well. That is, until I listened to them for several days, after which I could not go back to the copper. Every time I put a copper cable back in, the music sounded veiled and smoothed over. I found...

That definitely makes a difference! Thanks for the clarification, Xenithon. In that case, I would suggest that you try a silver IC with a copper speaker cable. The Analysis Plus should be within your budget.All the best,Howard 
Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions
Xenithon,With the make-up of your system, I would really suggest taking the other people's suggestions. If you did not like the AU24, I doubt you will like any of those on your list.Why not get something that offers a trial period? Many companies ... 
Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP?
Maineiac,If I remember correctly, you are now using an Audio Aero Prima CD player, no? If so, try out a few inexpensive tweaks first, or ones that you can easily re-sell. I have my Prima sitting on a block of 3" maple from www.timbernation.com (ab... 
Decware HDT Tower Speakers
Steve was very helpful on the phone, and quite generous with his time. I've written him to see if there is anyone in the NorCal area with these speakers. I'd really like to hear them. 
Decware HDT Tower Speakers
No one has heard these speakers?Just had a great conversation with Intrepid47, and then with Steve Deckert, and I'm curious to try the speakers. Should they not be my cup 'o tea, that curiosity will cost me around $250, so I'm putting out the rada... 
Anyone heard of DK design group?
By the way, knowing that Vegas is already full-up reserved, Cheapmike and his significant other invited me to share their hotel room at CES this year. Don't know if I can make it, but I have to say that I am constantly overwhelmed by the generosit... 
Anyone heard of DK design group?
There is a tremendous amount of hype surrounding this amp, with many new dealers touting it as the holy grail. In addition, there is a recent slew of new A'gon members who rave about the product as well. I'm curious as to what you owners of the DK... 
Best Amp for Andra II's - 15 x 25 room
I heard the Andra II's with the Pass XA160 monoblocks. Same size room that you have, coincidentally. As a general rule, I'm not a SS fan, but that combination wasabsolutely fantastic. The source was an Audio Aero Capitole MKII. Really an amazing s... 
I completely lack fiscal discipline...
Either that, or the hePod, shePod, theyPod. And guess what? Their marketing managers would squirm at such a thought. So you did the right thing, Brian.Enjoy your infinitely more musical holidays,Howard 
I completely lack fiscal discipline...
It's an I-pod, Brian. You're supposed to spend the money on I.Feel better? 
Anyone heard of DK design group?
Cheapmike,I currently have the Audion Silver Night MKII, and have it paired with Klipsch La Scala's. I love the sound. But I'm curious as to what type of music you generally like to listen to, and if you are using the DK with your Zingali monitors...
