| Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing? Drudin-Have you considered the Stirling Broadcast LS3/6 Reference? Acoustic Sounds sells the base finish model for $4095. The LS3/6 with basic finish retail for (2348 GBP) in the UK which is only a $400-500 importer markup when converted to USD. I... | |
| Upgrading amp Erniek-Don't fall victim to the Emotiva "Giant Killer" sales pitch. A Quad 909/99 is a much better choice. If you find the Quad gear to quirky and don't mind an older power/pre consider a Proceed BPA 2/PRE. Depending on condition both these set-up... | |
| ZYX R100 or Dynavector 20x2 L? What cartridge are you replacing? The ZYX R100 could be to lean sounding depending on the balance of your system. The Dynavector 20x2(low) is a solid allrounder. FWIW some claim the 20x2L has some of the characteristics of the Transfiguration Axia... | |
| Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy? Have you considered a used Rega P9? The RB1000 tonearm is good enough to survive many cartridge upgrades giving you a long term turntable at a modest cost. | |
| price point to move to separates vs integrated IMO if your going the pure class A route get a seperate power amp! | |
| Gyrodec vs Well Tempered Amadeus If your considering the Amadeus just remember they are built by Opera Audio in China. For the near cost of the Amadeus you could look into the Opera Audio Consonance Flagship-Droplet LP 5.0mk2. | |

| "What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?" Amphion-Krypton2Atohm-GT3Jamo-909KEF-207/2Marten-Django XLVandersteen-5A$10k should be enough to get these speakers on the used market. | |
| Amp for PSB Stratus Gold Krell Kav-500i/400ix/300il. IMO these are better sounding/built then the current models besides the fbi which retails for over $15K. Heard several demos with Krell and PSB-Stratus series resulting in near perfect synergy. | |
| Top 10 Alt-country bands Alternative country is hard to define. Even current Bluegrass could be considered alternative country. When Nashville praises Taylor Swift but considers Rhonda Vincent the red headed stepchild? FWIW I don't consider The Jayhawks or Wilco alt-country! | |

| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs Raytheprinter-Your mention of UFO reminds me of "Rock Bottom"! | |

| Any experience with Focus Audio ? I own the FS8 model. The current FS series uses aluminum bass/mid drivers which might be geared more for a home theater set up? The FC(entry level)series appears unchanged since TAS raved over the FC9. Neutral/fast/coherent describes my FS8. I wou... | |
| Power Cord up to $100? Yahoochaz-You have the wrong mindset. Most of us that have premium power cords don't buy for "braggin" rights(lol). Have you forgot what this hobby is all about? The power cord and cable debate has long been settled. But there are some that refuse... |
