Analytical or Musical Which way to go?
How can you debate 'taste' preferences? It does make for a lively discussion, but as I first heard from my Dad...'There is no accounting for tastes'. But again, it does make for a fun discussion. 
Speaker noises
Hello. I am a newbie also. And I save spent a bunch on this hobby, so I feel I do have something to say at this point.If you want to think like I used to, then forget cables. Interconnect, speaker and power. My speaking about this on Audiogon, and...

What are the best interconnects.
Time Portal, made by David Schulte (The Upgrade Company). Time Portal replaced the Mosaics(Intuitive Design) interconnects and Audioquest Rockefellers. A huge step up in clarity, and all around sound. When I put in the first Time Portal interconne... 
Tannoy Prestige line: Westminister and down
Would someone actually open my mind to what it means when someone tells us they should be looking for music and not the sound. I see it constantly, but the problem is, no one has been able to put that into words. Please understand, if you have rea... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Now I just read Franks page. It was very good, and honest. The big truth that stands out is how many of the multitude of components that any of us has a hand in listening to. Frank admits to having heard very few. I admire his honesty, but please,...

DeVore Orangutan O/96
Hello Franklinlg. I am always interested in seeing what is so damn great about the hot 'loudspeakers'. I have to say, your website addresses my issues immediately. I have not heard these DeVores. I would have to fly to SF CA to hear them, and such...

Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Musical Design's t 100 Hybrid Elite amp by John Hillig. I was turned on to JH designs by a dealer on Audiogon from the midwest. I have tried them against some regulars on the forum. I find them to be very satisfying. His components are simply 'rea... 
Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps???
From what I have found with respect to upgrading the electrical components within a CDP, I had 2 done with year, yields an incredibly better product. That is assuming that you, or the modder, is experienced. After experiencing the vastly better pr... 
Your Worst WAF Incident
Amusing, and painful all at the same time. Those would be the hallmarks of good comedy. While I haven't been in the same situation, I thank you for sharing:) 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
It is certainly puzzling, to say the least. I have a friend who I grew up with. We both love music in the recorded and live form. On a couple of occasions I have offered to do a demo at my house with a couple of speaker and amps types, but to no a... 
How old is too old?
I so agree that music has become much important as I passed the age of 50. I finally let go of the purse strings and jumped into finding the best system for dollars. I always had plenty of quantity, but the necessity for quality took a quantum lea...
