What's up with Talon?
Designer Thierry Budge left the company. I don't know much else. 
Daedalus Audio DA-1
I recall Parasound Halo C-2 AV controller and Parasound Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifiers were used at RMAF.Brian 
Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids"....
Those who attended yesterday's meeting of the Chicago Audio Society heard both the Druids and the Definitions, presented by Adam and Sean of Zu Cable. The speakers were driven briefly by a pair of larger Nuforce amps, then by a pair of Atma-Sphere... 
Boulder monoblocks
I suggest this is certainly not the right place to find out which amplifiers you prefer. What speakers do you have? Or are you considering others? You cannot determine what works best without hearing them with speakers you own. Dealers should be e... 
accuphase vs dartzeel
Dazzdax, what speakers do you have, and what's the rest of your system and your room? What are your listening preferences? Without knowing these things this discussion is pointless. 
Audio Clubs in the Area?
Hey Firecracker, where have you been all this time? :-)The Chicago Audio Society has been going strong ever since '94 after another group with the same name dried up several years prior. Meetings are monthly, and guess what, the October meeting is... 
What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
Vendetta Research SCP-2T, of which perhaps half a dozen exist. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat, it was a pleasure meeting you at RMAF and sitting across the table from you Saturday night as the group of us enjoyed dinner at Garcia's. Sounds like you have a good life.Brian 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Alan, you are out of line. I'm not going to satisfy your ego and curiosity by saying which manufacturers nor which cable break-in device(s) I referred to. Persecution complex? "To be even more fair and open about this subject", the electrical and ... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Serus brings up a good point. I know of at least two cable manufacturers (sorry, I'm not free to say who) who warn against using some such devices, so it is best to check with the manufacturer first. 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Mr. Alanmkafton, aka Audio Excellence AZ and sole seller of the Cable Cooker, I suggest you take a deep breath and think before launching an attack on me. The intent of my post was not to badmouth the product you sell, which serves a purpose for s... 
Liquid Ceramics cables Has anyone heard these?
Ozzy, if I were you I'd contact Cerious before using the cooker on them, as Bob Grost has been around the industry for a long time and might likely have comments you would find useful. Be careful.Brian 
Has MartinLogan gone too far with powered woofers?
As you have learned, it can be unwise to make such a leap of faith based upon what you currently own. Krelldog is correct about breaking them in, although that's no guarantee you will change your mind, so you might want to explore other speakers. ... 
Watt Puppy 7s/Maxx 2s
Depending upon your room and taste, you might also consider JM Lab or Rockport. I'm not sure about compatibility of the other tube amps you mentioned with the Wilsons, but Atma-Spheres have been used very successfully with them, as have Lamm. I ag... 
Need advice on my Parasound JC 1
If you are having an issue with bias I suggest you contact your dealer first - that's his job, as support doesn't end when the check clears. If you're not getting any satisfaction then contact Parasound service, 866-770-8324 toll free. I recommend...
