Guilty Pleasures?
Tripper,You must also have the entire Richard Clayderman collection, no? 
Tube Amps
What type of music do you generally listen to? That also will play a big part in whether or not the tubes will be appropriate for your tastes, and help pinpoint which tube amps you might want to consider.Let us know what kind of music you generall... 
Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax
In my system, the inexpensive Signal Cable copper speaker cable outperformed both the Wax and the Q-10. The music was far more engaging with the Signal Cable than with either of the other two, both of which made the music sound sluggish and veiled... 
What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks?
I'm hiring a crane to hoist away Albert Porter's listening room (along with its contents) to my favorite seaside town in Italy. 
Best live album you've ever heard?
Alice in Chains--Unplugged (A surprisingly good reference CD)Tony Williams in Tokyo 
How much does your system retail for?

Springsteen reissued? Hhmmm
Maybe it was in response to Ronald Reagan's comment that the Springsteen album 'Nebraska' "really expresses the true spirit of America."Ronnie made a whoops! 
Music for the spirit and the soul
I think someone may have mentioned this before--sorry, I'm too lazy to reread all of the posts--but the music to "Tous les Matins du Monde" (orchestration by Jordi Savall) is extraordinary as well. 
Best copper interconnect cables
I'll go ahead and jump ahead to the end of this thread, save you some reading time, and suggest that you try every copper cable under $300. Now get started! 
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it
Oliver,I bought mine used, so I'm guessing that it was already broken in. If you are listening often enough, I'd just leave it on all the time. Great tube, and great power cord.The most fun I've had in this hobby is being surprised. If your CD pla... 
"The Law of Diminishing Returns"???
We just moved one of our systems from one room into another. If it had started out in the latter room, we would have surely traded out components and cables in order to 'get it right'. Only because we've already heard the system in the first room ... 
"The Law of Diminishing Returns"???
I agree entirely with Elizabeth. In my listening experience, spending more does not necessarily lead to being more gratified with the sound, despite the fact that as others have mentioned you will notice significant differences in higher priced co... 
Speaker Cable to pair with Soliloquy 5.3's
You can contact Soliloquy and they will tell you what's on the inside. My guess (ask the dealer) is that your dealer demos have no more than 50 or 100 hours on them. Those speakers truly will not sound good until you get at least 300 hours. After ... 
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it
Congratulations, Oliver.The MK I takes a single 6922 tube. I've experimented with several, and here are my impressions, FWIW:1) Siemens--Smooth, detailed, tight and accurate bass. I tried a Siemens CCa (pricey little things), and in this applicati... 
driving tyler linbrooks with an SET
I completely agree with Philefreak. As good as our 7W 300B SET amp sounds with our Silverline Sonata II's, the Silverline's cannot approach the intimacy and immediacy of our horn speakers.You might also take a look at Audion. Astounding performers...
