How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud?
I dont know who the nutter is who had 135db in the car, but I suspect the figure is wrong. More like 95db... Or he is deaf or dead.I seem to remember the space shuttle taking off is 135db several miles away!A quad will not get you rocking. Maybe a... 
Magnepan 3.7
James63,they fixed that delamination issue with a new 3m glue about 10 years ago. In the market for one now? 
Samsungunc557000 or sony 55 bravia led
I was under the impression sony used the samsung screen anyway. 
amp for maggies 3.6
Magnepans with ARC are a match made in heaven. I had 3.6rs with many amps. The Plinus SA ref was the closest SS amp to the ARC sound I found on them. But ARC has extra soul and could help with the bass foundation into the mids. Especially if you a... 
Yamamoto A-08S and Audio Note ANe
Hi Glory,I fear you are in error regarding the quality of the Yamamoto. The beauty of such an amp is the part count is very low. There is no need for lots of expensive parts, just a few well thought out ones. Maybe it is expensive if you consider ... 
Muse Live
They are one of the finest bands I have seen live. Way up there and maybe in my top 5 too. 
Tweaks I'd like to see . . .
Auxetophone,A black hole in your vicinity would really be a problem and should be avoided at all costs. But I wonder if PRAT would be much better? It could be a useful side effect. It may be difficult to see if the equipment is still on as the LED...

An audiophile injection (Also in tablet form for those with more time) with just the right combination of vitamins/enhancements to put your body in the correct state to absorb the beautiful sonics.Audiophile nanny service who knows just the right ... 
Maggie 20.1 and Marchand XM-44
If I were you I would spend the money on replacing the maggie cross over with like for like, but with better parts. The active way is not as good yet as the finest analogue passive. Unless you want to do something fancy in the active cross over wo... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
Any one tried an AD1 tube SET? I was tempted... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
Hi Audiofeil,thanks for clearing it up. It is quite possible I misunderstood what Tom was saying. But what I did take from the conversation with him was the way the tubes are implemented was quite novel. A nice chap and fabulous amp.To get back on... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
Hi audiofeil,I was under the impression the Tome Evans Linear was a single ended amp. In fact I would go as far as saying he said it himself to me himself on the phone. But I will not argue the point and I bow to your knowledge of such things. I h... 
Sophia 300B vs Jeff Korneff 45 Amp
This all depends on what you want sonically. I am a convert to the 45 tube (EML mesh in flavor). After trying a hand full of well received 300b amps, and if you can use a small 2watt amp, I think ultimately the 45 is the finest I have heard. There... 
solid state vs tubes
Maybe have a listen to Pass labs. These could be the closest you find to a solidstate amp sounding like a tube amp. 
Was Beta as good as or better than reel to reel?
Lol. Isnt googling something you do after brushing your teeth? I had a nasty dose of VHS once...
