Best U.S.A. speakers?
I heard the Ridge Street Audio Sason's at the Audiokharma show in Detroit and then later at a private listening session in an owner's home. Absolutely incredible sounding speakers, the most natural sounding I've ever heard. All of the audiophile b... 
Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
I don't know what your budget is but a used pair of Legacy Whispers would fit the bill nicely. They have a compound dipole bass alignment provided by four 15" woofers per side. They have a dispersion of <90 degrees at all frequencies which woul... 
Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?
In regards to the discussion about the sales pitch above, I did not notice one either. I would rather have someone responding to ads that has experience with components at or near that price range no matter what their affiliation to any brand. It ... 
Walkers SST silver treatment
Wow, thank God you are ok. Still, it must leave you as busy as a one handed cable manufacturer! Hopefully rehab is going well. I hope everyone has learned their lesson here. (Nice story Robert) 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
Hi John, I tried the Z-der block at multiple points in my system. It made a difference no matter where I put it. I only have one so when I used it for my amps, I actually put it on the inlet to my conditioner for the amps (PS Audio UPC-200). In my... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
I promised a follow up once I got the Poiema!!! Signature power cord and it came in over the weekend. I used it to replace a PS Audio Extreme Statement and the difference is not subtle. I hate trying to describe this type of thing in audiophile te... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
John, I knew that his name is Robert, I guess I should have proof read better (his last name does not have an e in it either). I have taken up quite a bit of his time, with which he is extremely generous. I had just got off the phone with my sist... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
When you have so many good things to say about a product, it becomes difficult to decide where to begin. I first purchased a used pair of Poiema!! xlr interconnects because of the good things I'd heard about RSA products. I enjoyed them so much th... 
Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II
I have owned the GFA 555II and the 2004mkII. I think the Aragon is the superior amp across the board. However, it does not necessarily mean it will be a good match with your speakers. I have not heard the Theil speakers, but from what I understand... 
Amplification Suggestions for Legacy Whispers???
If you can find the Legacy monobloc or Ultra monobloc I would recommend auditioning them. I previously used a Classe CA-200, two channels of Aragon 8008x5 and also vertically biamped them using 4 channels of the Aragon amp. The sound of the Classe...
