Best sounding Beatles Vinyl from tape
Following. I’ve always wondered how they could mix and remix tapes to tapes and have so little tape noise and this was in the analog 60’s.  
Trojan VIRUS Reported - Beware
Thanks for the tip, but I quit opening any emails from people or places I don’t recognize. If Music Direct or Audio Research get hacked I could be in trouble.    
Streaming vs Physical Media
My limited experience with streaming and CD’s has taught me one thing, if you run your CD transport and your streamer through the same DAC, they are going to sound a lot alike. That includes CD’s that have been ripped to a hard drive. All the bes...

@bkeske  Great great album!!  
New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ???
Alas I will never know. I asked my wife if I could put a $18,000.00 power cord on my $8000.00 amp and she asked some very good questions and then said NFW!    
Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years.
@garebear  I whole heartedly agree with you about Dickie Betts being an amazing guitar player, but brother Duane’s passing really changed the band.    I think I’m going to listen to Idlewildsouth now.  
Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY
So sorry that Ohm is way off their game! I can tell you the Tall 3000 would work great in your space as they are some of the easiest speakers to set up.  Having said that, my patience would have worn way thin by now and I would have moved on.  Wha...

@milpai  Just curious, what kind of floor do you have under your speakers? I have hardwood floors with a full basement under and the granite made a very noticeable difference. Isoacoustics told me the carpet spikes were designed mostly for carpet... 
Cable Quality vs Customer Service
OP, So sorry to hear about bad experience’s with any HiFi companies. While I am in the market for a longer PC for my Hegel, I guess I won’t be looking at SR. All the best.  
For classical music lovers best amp for large orchestral forces?
It might be your Epicon 8’s are the problem.  A Trio is easy for most systems to reproduce, but the more things a speaker has to reproduce, the harder it is, especially at higher levels.    BTW, Congratulations on the Ref 6se. All the best.  
Ridiculous sale
Has anyone bought an Oppo UDP-205 for $5995.00 plus shipping! Neither have I, but there’s people right now trying to sell them at that price.  
Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system?
Congratulations on getting a great IC! Preamp to amp would be where I’d put it. Let us know your results. JD  
Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?
OP, How long have you had the equipment and speakers? Did you get everything at the same time? What did you have before? Room size? Setup?  All the best. Not looking to hijack this thread, but how would you put a ground wire on a speaker? Thanks
