Reference 3A line updated
tubegroover, I bought a pair of deCapo Be's a few months ago to use in a bedroom system. I'm very slowly putting the pieces together for that system, but in the interim, they occasionally get rotated in to my living room system. My experience is s... 
Has education expanded your listening tastes?
Mapman, The first performance of Bach's St. Matthew passion in Leipzig was met by utter bewilderment. They had never heard or conceived of the like. Reportedly, his estate, including far too much of his work, now lost to us, was auctioned off as s... 
Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them?
Sabai, My understanding is different. I understand the Monoliths are just extra large peas, but perhaps I am wrong. As for what exactly the PEAs do, its a little hard to properly articulate. I think RAks description above captures it. When you fin... 
Has education expanded your listening tastes?
Mapman, Your question "What changed" is a great question, but change didn't occur abruptly at the end of the 19th century as an unprecedented phenomenon. Change, even change in music, is relentless. The audience changed, beginning in the late 18th... 
Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them?
Jerry Ramsey has a dedicated following for a reason. He also has his detractors among those who haven't tried any of his products. It has been my experience that he tends to understate the impact his products can make. When he says the differences... 
Has education expanded your listening tastes?
Photon and Arnettpartners, imprinting no doubt occurs. However, there is more in play. My parents listened to country music almost exclusively. My first exposure to classical music was in the 5th grade. The music teacher decided she didn't want to... 
Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them?
I don't have the monoliths but I have three of the std PEA modules. These things are for real. There was an extensive thread discussing the pulsed electron alignment when Jerrry first released them. 
Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
David, I use a Voodoo Air Dragon on my CSLS. I tried a number of pretty good cords, but the Air dragon out performed them all. Best dynamics and timbral accuracy by a long shot. I have not tried the Coincident cord however. Next best to the Voodoo... 
Better when it rains?
No, it is not your imagination. Your system is singing in the rain, just singing in the rain! What a glorious sound, you're happy again!Seriously, back in the day, I noticed a deterioration of sound as humidity decreased. I don't doubt what you ar...

Hey pap, I assume the correct configuration of the PSvane WE 101-D is the 301B small pin /large pin, correct? 
Most underrated composer of 20th Century?
Larryi and Frogman, your posts above prompted me to dust of some Langaard CDs that haven't gotten much playing time. I have to say I do like his string quartets, at least the ones I've heard. 
Coincident Statement RC Preamp
Charles, you are so right. And I have always found your comments on Coincident gear understated if anything. There are a few guys out there that are making stuff that is just crazy good, yet affordable by those not fortunate enough to be 0.01% 'er... 
Coincident Statement RC Preamp
Charles, I kept my mouth shut (or fingers still) on this one too. Perhaps a user name change is in order. What shall we call you? The Coincidental Oracle?Your advice to the OP was spot on--My thoughts exactly. :) 
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
I'd be more likely to throw my wife in a box and put her in the moving van than let them touch my equipment. And just for the record, I do love my wife. 
Most underrated composer of 20th Century?
Larryi, Yoko Ono in labor, or even not in labor, would be way out of my boundry. Thanks for the chuckle.
