Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators
I must first apologize to Grant and the people of Shunyata, I am the bad guy. I usually don't make posts like I did initially but, My god $250 for twelve pieces of foam. Well, I did feel bad and ordered a set. My dealer would take them back if I d... 
Warner and Blu ray?
I have a toshiba HD-DVD and it works as good as any blu-ray would in my system. I haven't used it. Everytime I go to watch a movie I never get past the turntable and end up playing an LP or two instead. So, if your like me you are immune to the fo... 
What do you do when you listen to music?
Sometimes I just listen, actually these are the best times. I have also scheduled days where I will sit down and listen to music from the early morning 5-6am until noon, do something outside and repeat after supper until late into the night. I hav... 
GIRL NEWBIE
You might have good luck with an older reciever or integrated amp as it may also have a phono section. Many of the newer ones don't have a phono amp and then you would need to buy one seperately. Also, there are many nice two way speakers to be fo... 
Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators
Grant, I don't know what living the high life with Regis would be so I really cannot comment. Do I think that your company is actively out to rob people, of course not. Do I like your products, well Gemini speaker cables, Aries interconnects, Pyth... 
Any exp. w/ Shunyata Dark Field Cable Elevators
I took a look at them and they look like very well cut out foam blocks. Now I do use Shunyata cables; speaker which I love, Interconnects which I really like, and power cables which look really cool and sound just as nice as my Audience PowerChord... 
Nordost Heimdall warm???
Having actually listened to and auditioned the Heimdal I would say that it is definetly not bright and lean. I found much of the other Nordost line brighter but the Heimdal very balanced. 
Nordost Heimdall warm???
I spent some time with the heimdall and the Blue heaven. I think that the blue heaven is a very balanced lower priced speaker cable. The Heimdall is a very balanced super speaker cable. I do think that you will get more bass, deeper, tighter and w... 
best sub 1k phono stage?
It would depend on the type of cartridge that you are using. If it is a low voltage MC I use to have a dynavector P75 and was very happy with it. Plenty of gain and very quiet. They have updated it and though I have not heard the newer version I h... 
The new Peak Consult referencespeaker
That is a very impressive looking speaker. Is there a dealer in the midwest that you are aware of for Peak Consult. Thanks. 
Replacing my Arcam cd 23 with what??
I have the 33, very similar though mine does not decode HDCD. After listening to many the Naim CDX2 is the CD player I would most like to upgrade to. I really like my Arcam but if I wanted more of everything I like it would be the Naim. 
Ultimate Audio Upgrade
Though I still love my audio system the two times where I listened to something and was a little disappointed when comming home was listening to the Verity/VTL system above and hearing this cello under the bow of a decent cellist. Now I need to be... 
Giant subwoofer
Thanks, I also found this a little extreme but can appreciate the passion to eck out that last little bit of a bass note. Scroll down to see the instalation of a horn driven woofer. http://www.galibierdesign.com/systems_kevin_brooks.html 
Speaker life expectancy: How long can you buy used
I know mine will last at least 25years, thats when the warranty runs out. I think that we live in a culture where we assume that we need to continualy change and that everything is very temporary and easily replaced and I think that colors our per... 
Acoustic Sounds Customer Service
I have had the best service from Acoustic sounds. They really take the time to answer my many questions and I have never had a problem. I would never expect to reimburse my shipping costs to them unless it was something sent in error and the costs...
