Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Cub 2's
I heard the Wilson Cub 2's probably about 10 years ago. They were being driven by Ayre electronics and the source was a flagship Sony cdp. To this day the Cub 2 remains one of the fastest box speaker i've heard. It does have a "pro monitor" sound ... 
Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden
I'll skip the politics! Cordesman put Adcom on the map with his poetic waxing. I always wondered if he was compensated by Adcom or couldn't hear above 5khz(lol)? To my ears David Hafler amps were the best sounding budget amps from that time period...

Elac Loudspeakers?
Kclone-This would be a near future but not an immediate purchase. Hope to visit the Toronto area before years end and listen to various Amphion-Elac-Focus Audio-Marten and Gershman Acoustic speakers.

Best Metal Vinyl Album
After playing Metallica-And Justice For All I realize what a great recording this is! I bought the album the day it came out in 1988 so it's a very early pressing. I don't know if later pressings are at this near reference level. 
Whats your current Reference CD at the moment?

Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
Timothy m-Very Observant! Very rarely do Aural Symphonics-Blue Circle or Silver Circle Audio pc's show up on Audiogon. 
What brand did you leave Rega for?
We all know Rega turntables are far from perfect. But the P7 and P9 offer alot of musical engagement regardless of cost. The P9 RB1000 tonearm is good enough for $2k+ phono cartridges. You probably need to move up to a Spiral Groove SG-2(15k?)to b... 
New Speaker for Under 5K
Since I don't know what electronics your using or room dimensions I can only suggest 6 of the best all round speakers at approximately $5k or less(of course this is my opinion). All theses speakers are capable of bass 40hz or lower. ATC-SCM 40Elac...

Kevin gets the
Drubin-There are many dealers that really care about music, the quality of their products they sell and most importantly their customers(regardless of how much they spend). From my very limited experience with Upscale and the consensus of the comm... 
Kevin gets the
When looking for speakers(18 months ago) Upscale had NOS Opera speakers discounted. I was interested in the NIB Seconda. In my email I asked if they were firm on the price, the reponse was that's a strange question? I had no idea that bartering wa... 
Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions
I have about 50 hours on the AT-OC9MK2 so I assume it's close to being fully broke in. Mine is mounted on a Rega P9, tracking is set at 1.7g and no spacer/shim was needed. Neutral and linear would be the simplest way to describe the sound, similia...
