Purist Audio Venustas Speaker Cable - Any Good ?
Verybiggamp - Sounds like you own the Dominus and want assurances that the Dominus is still the best sounding cable ever developed. I feel the Dominus is an exceptional cable but in my particular system I like the Venustas better. I'm not saying t... 
Speaker Stands for B&W Matirx 803s
Eventhough they are not the most attractive stands, cinder blocks work great (cheap too). 
Purist Audio Venustas Speaker Cable - Any Good ?
I own the Venustas speaker cables and think they are incredible; the best speaker cables I have ever heard. My previous speaker cable was the Purist Dominus, which is a great cable, but I like the Venustas better. The Venustas is faster, more focu... 
Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect
Nrchy - The new Purist Museaus kills the old Colossus.

The fluid jacket approach was interesting but the new plasma jacket in my opinion is a big improvement.

Purist Audio new cables
I have been listening to the new Museaus and Venustas cables for some time now and own both of them. Both of these new models are absolutely incredible in my opinion. The Museaus kills everything in it's price range and the Venustas is so close to... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 - Get the SE Upgrade?

Great Classical/Spanish Guitar on SACD/CD????
If it is Segovia or Christopher Parkening I would chose the CD over the other formats. 
Dorm Room systems
I know when I was in college back in the 70s my system consisted of a modified Dynaco PAS preamp, modified Stereo 70 power amp, Linn LP12 turntable w/Grace 707 tonearm and Sonus Blue cartridge and Rogers LS 3/5a speakers. Boy, those were the good ... 
Does anyone know what Elton John's "Tiny Dancer"
Thanks for the info everyone; very interesting. I see that Maxinne Feibelman married Bernie Taupin so apparently "Tiny Dancer" was a love song afterall. Anyone know where Maxinne Feibelman is from? Sounds German.
