Copper vs. Silver interconnects
I'm waiting....Where's my demo pair, Mike????If I like them, you can tell the next person in line to forget it, because I'm keeping them! I'm going to eventually spend bigger bucks just to try some other cables out, but thus far, I have not found ... 
Music for the spirit and the soul
Yes, Chipman, I blame Marco for sending me two of my desert island discs (Sibil-la and 'Le Pas du Chat Noir' by Anouar Brahem). As well, he was kind enough to offer methadone-laden talks in order to quell my audio addiction to the point where I ma... 
Can tube amps play loudly?
Cds9000,Many tube amps will rock your house down. Achieving volume won't be your quandry. Finding an amp that will cover the wide range of your musical genres will. It's a little like playing golf with five clubs in the bag. It can be done, but yo... 
I need a quiet tube amp
Tomyran,You have probably explored this option, but on my Wright Mono 10's I used a 3-into-2 prong adapter, and the hum disappeared almost entirely. With his 3.5 SET amp monoblocks, I found that the hum through the speakers had mostly to do with t... 
Music for the spirit and the soul
Chipman, Just kill me with a visual of that evening in Paris! I will never listen to this disc again without thinking of that experience.And I'll sign off now to go in search of the other two discs. Thanks to Jax2, I was introduced to the astoundi... 
I need a quiet tube amp
The Quicksilver Horn Monos are indeed quiet, but see if you can try them out first. I found them to be less musical than their other offerings. I've owned the Mini Monos, and heard the Mid Monos with 90db speakers, and they made no noise. I am usi... 
integrated or separate to match triangle NAIA
I know I frequently repeat myself:Audio Aero Prima Hybrid. Put in an NOS tube and upgrade the power cord, and you will be wondering why it sounds more balanced and smooth than many $10K amps. After ten seconds of hearing it with a pair of Triangle...

Thank you for the suggestion, S23chang. I'll look into those as well.

Copper vs. Silver interconnects
Just to update this post, I tried an AU24 in my systems. It was an excellent cable. In fact, for the first hour or two, I was sure that I would keep it. By the fourth hour, however, the music no longer engaged me. I was getting bored, in other wor... 
Education: Best place for Audio Engineering?
If you want hands on experience, then work for someone who designs speakers that you like. Don't be shy. Knock loudly and frequently on those doors, and you will get it. You will learn far more that way than in a school, and you will be well on yo... 
hi I'm italian
La mia moglie e io abbiamo vissuto per un ano a Firenze. Ci manca molto l'Italia! Ed ancora piu gli Italiani, chici hanno tratto sempre come la famiglia! Vi ringrazio per una cultura profonda. 
van morrison's best sounding album?
Another great album--though not entirely Van--is Van Morrison and the Chieftains. It's true that his earlier work was not produced as well as some of the later recordings, which I might even call SLICK in their production. However, I think that to... 
van morrison's best sounding album?
"Astral Weeks" will be in my coffin, in the hopes that I will be granted access to www.Audio-Gone.com in the afterlife.That is one album that I cannot do without. Hope you enjoy it! 
Help Should I make this move?
To my ear, the Opus 21 is a phenomenal player...and yet the Capitole is far more emotional and engaging. We currently have the AA Prima, and the Capitole is the next mountain we'll be climbing.As Ben Stiller said playing Starsky, "Do It!"Between m...
