We are programmed to seek perfection and satisfaction. Once we have it, we know something could be just a little better and off we go again. Why do we eat, we are hungry, then eat and are satisfied. In a short time, we are hungry again, not just f...

I bought a pair of Lamm 1.2 reference for 10K only 6 months old. They are amazing but they do get warm. They are so good I chnaged my cabinet design. Mine were in a similar location and the sound was so wonderful that I bought a pair of Silent Run...

Kenwood L-02 tuner actually a unicorn
Just to let people know, this tuner is amazing. The bass is the best I have ever heard and it has great soundstaging. It does not sound like any tuner I have ever had in my system. If you get a chance to get one of these, I am sure you will love i...

Speaker upgrade
I set up a dual sub system. First I tried a single DD-18. Great sub, too much for my room. Then went to dual DD-10s. Great sound but too much boom for my musical taste. I am thinking now of moving towards Avalon Eidolon Diamonds. I recently upgrad...
