No bass on B&W 800D2
Many years ago I owned a series of B&W speakers, working my way up through the Matrix series to the Nautilus 800s. I bought them off the dealer’s floor and they sounded great there. My living/listening room at the time was 9X13X8. The N800s, r... 
SACD Players
Japan is the home of SACD production and listening today. As a result they have the most quality players available. Marantz is a quality brand with high quality players from $3K to $12K. Available on the used market as well  
KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes
Is this what they mean by "Double Blind" testing? An enjoyable read in any case. I'm still trying to decode the results.  I actually prefer a good English Gin for these critical sessions. Best...  
KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes
Hey trivema, Thanks for your description of the KR KT88 SQ.  Looking for a lusher, fuller midrange if anything.  In pursuit of that actually got rid of Nordost Valhalla speaker cables for Wireworld Platinum.  Needed Nordost's Odin top cable but t... 
KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes
VerdantAudio... just looked at your site. Very impressive offering. And thank you for the perfect answer. Which begs the question... Other than blue, how is the SQ of the Sophia Electric KT88s vs the Gold Lion. Moon Audio folks are nice folks and... 
KR Audio KT88 Vacuum Tubes
My amplifier is a Conrad Johnson ART27a class A producing 36wpc.  For the benefit of the first three respondents who have not heard the KR tubes, the amplifier lists for $22K.  The pre-amp is C-J's ART88 at $28K.  All pretty high end sound produce... 
Anyone remember the days before bells and whistles!
BTW, in those days it wasn't "we are pregnant".  It was honey I'm pregnant.  Now go to the father's waiting room while I have this baby and "they" will call you when it over. That waiting room was a small space with well worn magazines and no TV,... 
Type 45 Tubes for stereo amplifiers
A little off the subject but has anyone had experience with KR Audio tubes? I’ve got four Gold Lion KT88s, nearly new, in the C-J ART27 amp now and wondering if I would hear a difference with the KR Audio tubes. A bit pricy at 1300 for the set. ... 
New speakers for 15*12 room powered by Lamm 1.2s?
While I'm a Wilson guy... you have some PS Audio gear now, get them to send some FRs on trial.  
Six DAC Comparison
Just scanned these comments and didn't see the obvious thought.  The biggest influence on the sound of a DAC is the analog output circuit.  After it converts, it's that small Amplifier that outputs your 2-6 Volt signal.  My excellent dCS Bartok no...

DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
Another thing... Can’t tolerate that reviewer’s voice again for a replay, but when he discussed the Bartok’s value, don’t remember that he mentioned that Bartok is also a world class streamer as well. So you save the cost and hassle of choosing a... 
DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC
Much has been said here that is correct and incorrect. In any case this isn’t about free speech, but is about poor business judgment. To start, I am a dCS Bartok owner and love my streamer DAC. I bought it some years ago at probably half the price... 
A nightmare regarding streaming?

Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs?
This was an excellent thread.  Maybe the best I've read on this forum. Thanks to all the contributors.
