| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures Uptime’s website has had them listed as unavailable for quite some time now, sighting supply issues, but the supply chain is basically up and running again. Maybe they’re going to stop selling their power supplies for good? | |
| Definitely a good listen @nonoise Question, do you have a lot of SACD’s and how do they sound using the SLH-700? | |

| $25k speakers, are we there yet? When I was speaker hunting, I really wanted to get a pair of KEF Blades, but couldn’t get to hear a pair and really couldn’t justify the price. I ended up buying the Reference 5’s. There was just something about paying over 25k for speakers. | |

| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD Oh, I currently have a pair of Acoustat Model X’s and they still sound great! JD | |
| How much faster of a sub is the REL T5X vs SVS SB12-NSD I’ve had panel speakers since the 80’s and tried to buy or build subs to go with them and NONE are as fast as the panels. I built 7 prototypes ranging is sizes of both drivers and boxes. Used active and passive crossovers and all solid state power... | |

| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd I must be taking the down elevator, because I can’t choose just one. Maybe one artist?? I have thirty something Bill Evans albums. | |
