Should there only be one company making gear?
What, Nrchy, you prefer SS???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You never said that before.OK, forget everything I said....just kidding. 
Should there only be one company making gear?
Nrchy,I didn't think you took offense to what I said, and I appreciate your comments. When it comes to audio, I just happen to have an appreciation for all the brands, simply because I just like jawing about the game.However, what your clarifying ... 
Should there only be one company making gear?
Nrchy,Thank you for the clarification. I read your post the first time, and attacked straight away. So your point is well taken, and my callous response to your thread certainly verified your underlying concern.I apologize for taking up the fight ...

Could we call it Freedom Audio? Oh, could we please???? 
Funniest sales pitch
"If you're looking at this ad, you know how incredible these XXXX are." Four paragraphs later, I think I'm beginning to get an idea."If you pay my asking price (on a $350 interconnect cable), I'll include the shipping."Or, leave the retail price b... 
Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k
Hey Oliver,What a kind invitation. You are well on your way to musical nirvana. Let me see if I can swing it. I'd sure love to drive down and meet up for an audition. Maybe an early dinner afterward in Berkeley?If I can be there, I'll make it for ... 
Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k
If you want tubes, get tubes. If you want SS, get SS. They are as related as say, SF and LA. In other words, they both say California on the mailing address, but when you move from one to the other, you will recognize very little from the old neig...

Oliver,Aren't you listening almost exclusively to classical music? What happened to your search for a SET amp? This is now the other end of the spectrum. 
Name 1 Cable in your system you could not live w/o
Verastarr Silver Reference IC. Absolutely perfect in every system I've tried. 
Single-ended integrated amp for $1k or under?
As in your previous post, you stated that you listen almost exclusively to classical, why not consider the following:Buy the SR-17's listed here for $1500 (a bargain for an amazing speaker), and combine it with the Audion Silver Night MKII that is... 
how good signal cable?
I know two people who run the Dali Euphonia M4 Speakers ($8K a pair) with Signal speaker cable. You have to find the cable that best suits your ears, but yes, they are that good. 
What's your profession? Age?
Artist & Author--Age 39--very fortunate to do what I love most. 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
Keep going, Cody the Cat. At 200 hours, you are probably past the point of thinking you made a mistake. But it's not until 3-400 that you will begin to hear the magic of those speakers. If there is anything unbalanced or unsettled to the sound, re... 
A rocking tube amp & speaker combo?
Thank you, Blackwatch26. We actually came up with the perfect solution--bridge two systems through a common preamp & CD player. So now the La Scala's are mated with the Wright 3.5's (love the Mono 10's, by the way), and we are running Quicksil... 
Your favorite but unknown
Waltersalas,No joke. Freedy Johnston is a brilliant songrwriter.You might as well blow your own horn as well. The Silos self-titled album is as potent today as ever.
