Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?
Tubegroover is right, she ain't hard to look at. She just bores me to tears. I do like a couple of her songs out of the four CDs I have. I only play them if the ladies ask. Ten minutes is about all i can handle. I notice a few have said how good s... 
Entry level tube amp to try
I had an Aronov preamp with about $200 worth of upgrades. This was about 8 years ago. It made my CAT preamp sound like a little kitty while the Aronov roared like a lion. Sold the CAT MK whatever, had a much better preamp and a few hundred extra $$$. 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
I know for a fact that Decay is telling the truth. I am his partner in business. I am sure Decay will agree, being that we are both rich, famous, and extremely sexy, can be a terrible burden. But we seem to find a way to handle these heavey burden... 
Which cd player would I get best bang for the buck
The Roksan might be a good choice for a bright speaker. It is forgiving, a bit to laid back for my tastes. Seems to make everything too sweet even when things shouldn't be sweet. I didn't think it had the best detail either. I thought the Cary was... 
best monitor for tubes?
Hi Seth, The Lectron JH-30 brings back some great memories. At that time I thought it was one of the finest amps i ever heard. IMO, the Proac 1SC is the best speaker in their line. your comments are no surprise to me. Can't imagine, considering th... 
OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything?
Ya gotta lotta class Saxo. Please don't feel alone. i have been there many times and i suppose i will be there many more times. I have no problem when i make an apology when one is due. I have no problem not to apologize just for the sake of an ap... 
Entry level tube amp to try
Tube amps seem to get a bad rap from many. This warm, rich, euphonic, dark sound is not typical of most of today's tube amps. Listening to one or two tube amps will not give you a clue to what certain tube amps can offer. There are tube amps that ... 
C-J Premier 12's vs. ARC VT100 MKII--advice?
Hi Steve, this is a difficult question. The CJ 12 monos are way too colored for my tastes. The ARC would be more to my likeing because they have IMO, less coloration. I really wouldn't use either in my system. If rich, warm laid back, plump bass i... 
OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything?
Twl and Saxo, this reminds me of another thread. Thank you both for making me feel so at home. I love the passion of these kind of threads. After seeing the same questions asked over and over. Threads like this and a few others remind me of the ol...

Rwd, you are a braver man than me. I have no doubts you will be thrilled. Please write a review of these amps. It would be great to see you start from day one till fully broke in. Hope to hear more from you as I am sure many others are too.Congrat... 
need ideas to raise speaker stands
Check out the Sistrum speaker platforms. They will raise not only the height but also the sound quality. I am not sure if this is more than you want to spend, but your speaker's performence will improve in every area. Dynamics, soundstaging, bette... 
Which amp?
Hi Amati, could you describe what it is you are missing from these amps. Power, dry sound, lack of involvement?Where is Cornfedboy when you need him? 
mids showdown.
Don't think you can get a better answer than Plato's. 
OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything?
Twl, Berning has had a few amps, preamps go down. But what service! I get the feeling all production stops until repairs are made. I know of only two. He was very upset, these are his babies. Turn around for these two were sent back two day's afte...
