Gallo Reference III midrange COOKED
Could have just been a stray shot of DC.I mention it because a PS Delta 100 cooked a $4500 set of dual 5.25 mids on some $4500 horns.2 years is a bit long for extending warranty but then again Anthony Gallo isn't the nicest or dependable guy in Hi... 
Windows 7 for Audio or Video, yes - No?
Jim You know more than me so I would look at the test score for encoding and other tests.But I have ben doing some reading.I dunno if makes difference with Windows media center or WMP)but my IT buddy told me but you lighten your RAM needs opening ... 
Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition
Know I don't own them but I am chiming in anyway.I want to hear them to.High ohm load makes,sensitivity and design them able to run of very little power but there power handling is very high giving one whole range of options.Surprised that you did... 
Which new VPI Turntable?
$900 and you can add the VTA hat.Spoke to one guy (not main Guru Bes Nivera) at Music Direct and he say's Classic is all that Pearson review said and more.It is weird that they came out with a Scout 2 and now this.Supposed to blow doors on any Sco... 
TBI Magellan
They are one of the few non-multi driver speakers that deliver on music (read 6moons review).If youuse one power module and two passive subs (instead of powered units) they are opperate in parallel and go up 50% in power (genius ideaI don't know w... 
The great Soupy Sales died
But shows what mistake it was for a semi-beatnik to be given a kids show (which Iloved as a little kid).At one point he told the kids "Go to Daddy's Wallet and send Soupy a Dollar".He never thought kids would do it and though it's hysterical now t... 
Best Tube Preamp with Phono under $2000 ?
I sold Mac for years and they are great products maybe not last word in resultion (both tube and SS) but musical.Newer CJ stuff is better than older but still very "tubey" (warm and plenty of "bloom").I am not sure about ET-2 but am sure it's bett... 
Phono pre-amps with volume control
Big spread between a PS GCPH at $1K (pick 'em up $500 used and a Steelhead (which has single line level).For what it's worth the guy at 10 Audio gave Cullen Modded GCPH better marks than Art Audio.Wish somebody would make a $2K tube pre (hybrid wi...

Red Wine 30.2 vs. Bryston 4B SST2
Uhhh I am one of least gurus here (ven though I sold Krell,McIntosh etc for 6 years) but this is quite a bizarre comparison.it maybe that Mark above had both in his system but given one puts out rated 225 (more like a 275 watts rms @ 8ohm) and the... 
Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's
Altec's too.Tvad has a pair of Sonata III's which would sound killer with your amps up but about 150% or your budget.They'd be worth the deep dig into the pockets.High sens but not exactly 8ohm load but you could swing it fine.Real keepers.Chazz

What is it about the Cary SLI-80?
AndrewMaybe it's my Lipitor but my lack of coherence and spell check indicate some kind of stupor from last post.But yeah these kids who listen to the crap that's re-cycled and recycled to say "It's the thing" you have to be high.Make me want to d... 
Fullrange Speaker for Quicksilver Silver 70's
CoralI forgot to mention Silverline since you mentioned the Coincident line.They are really easy to drive.But you have a lot of power on tap and no ability for triode so maybe it's a waste.But if you could spend what the amp cost there is a used p...
