ASI Liveline...Burn-In Experience
Hi Pani,This is a good example of how opinions can greatly differ depending on the listener,system and expectations.My objective is to produce the most natural, pure and realistic music reproduction(organic and emotional) that I can without sacrif... 
Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR
Antigrunge,Have you heard the Sophia Royal Princess? that and the Takatsuki seem to be competitors. Where can you buy the Takasuki and how expensive are they? It seems it could be quite special.Regards,

Hi ,Sirspeedy, that last question was`nt specifically for you but was asked in general. Some people get quite defensive and upset if others don`t agree with their impressions of a component. 
What's likely to happen when an 845 tube fails?
Bob,"Married with children", I understand all too well(but is`nt it wonderful). I must say your speakers were very impressive, open, transparent,natural and full of life.Regarding the Dehavillands I`ll admit I`m very curious to hear them in your f...

"Oh,I forgot this is audio"Sirspeedy, that`s the beauty of audio IMO.There`re so many choices in components and ways to combine and match them. It really is an art form and a very personal means of expression to be able to assemble a audio system ... 
Rethm Maarga Impressions.
Hi,I`m partial toward SET amps and I don`t know your budget.6 Moons really likes the RWA amp you mentioned, and if Rethm makes its amps as good as the speaker you could`nt go wrong with that choice.Bottlehead and Decware are lower cost but conside... 
Metrum Octave Dac experiences
I think Newbie meant upsampling not of course oversampling.Although I ultimately kept my Yamamoto YDA DAC after auditioning the Metrum Octave, the Metrum is very good. I believe that most who try it will be impressed. In its price range it will be...

Sirspeedy,Your 2 cents is as welcome as anyone else. I don`t see any 'record' that needs to be set straight. Your post is full of passion and conviction but like all the posts here is simply an opinion. As has been said several times, some will lo... 
What's likely to happen when an 845 tube fails?
Hi Bob, I just happen to come across this thread while browsing today. Bob I thought my Frankenstein MKII driving your speakers was quite exceptional sound in your large room. The combo filled the space and was very dynanmic,transparent with liqui... 
Rethm Maarga Impressions.
I heard this speaker at the RMAF 2011 and thought it was very good! Get a 'high quality' low power amplifier driving it and it would really sing. 
Tube question for the electrical engineers
I think Liz is on to something,low level signal tubes in my own experience have maintained sound quality for 'many years' before needing replacement. A good tube should`nt wear out that early. 
Dual volume control - it should be standard
Knghifi,Outstanding!Talk about bang for the buck, I`m envious. 
Dual volume control - it should be standard

There`re no weak points being made here,just different points of view from yours.It just seems immature to react the way you do regarding something as innoculous as speaker preferences, it must mean a lot to you, take care. 
Dual volume control - it should be standard
My linestage has dual volume controls and they`re wonderful and precise.
