ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Thanks Claude!  Sounds like I caught you miles down the audiophile road. I went with a pair of the Wilson Sasha DAWs. Just got them installed this week, but I’m very pleased so far. If my preamp weren’t tube based I might have found the DAWs a lit... 
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
Two affordable suggestions with upgrade paths: 1. New Odyssey Khartago stereo chassis with Kismit upgrade. When funds allow, send it back to Odyssey to convert to more powerful monoblock and buy another one. They have a very affordable upgrade op... 
ROCKPORT TECHNOLOGIES: ATRIA 2 ROOM SIZE ?
Wow, nothing?  I’m in a similar boat with a similar question. Did you buy them?  If so, how did they do in your room?  
Rockport Avior 2 vs Wilson Sasha DAW
Carey1110, several years in, how did your eval and purchase turn out?  I’m looking at a similar decision and would love to know your impressions.  
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
There are those who wish to discuss, and there are trolls. It's not about censorship, it's about behavior. The adults would like to discuss, the trolls want to sit in mom's basement throwing Cheetos at us.   
Graphene contact enhancer which one is best for the price and improvements
Vze2r8xe, did you proceed with that experiment?  What were your results?  It’s been over a year, did the Mad Scientist product degrade or improve with time?  I know,I don’t ask much...  :)Anyone else have any further experiences to report? 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
2 years later, still no link to this product. Nothing on YouTube either.   
Personal vs. Market Values
Truffle oil makes a great contact enhancer, or so Im told. Or read it somewhere.  Something. To lower costs, I’m looking for one of those pigs that can search and find truffles. Win/win, if the pig doesn’t work out, we have a party and roast it. 
The Devil is in the Cartridge Setup (and a good phone pre)...
I believe the subject is cartridge setup and it’s importance, not talking smack about mods. If you don’t believe in mods, don’t buy them.  
All Quiet on the Oppo front?
The last round of 205 “golden tickets” were sent in August. Shipment is finishing up now. The website no longer accepts entries. Sadly, unless the corporate parent changes course, these are gone. I saw a new one recently for sale - asking $4300. U... 
Do you trust Audiogon?
Banks (US at least) are required to report $10k and up transactions. The Feds can take a look at potential money laundering scams or other illegal activity. Breaking the sale up into smaller pieces is not illegal as far as I know. Taking a sale of... 
Listening Height Adjustment -- Is This Why Two People Don't Hear the Same?
Tilting affects time alignment between drivers. Competent designers spend much effort to get this as close to perfect as possible, so definitely at least start with manufacturers set up recommendation. Not saying this this is the only way, but I s... 
I need one for every room...and two for the garage!
Full of Audiophile air. Made me giggle. Im surprised at the lack of “make an offer” button 
Matching Speakers to amp
Consider a Odyssey Khartago stereo amp used. These pop up for $600 occasionally. AB amp, big power supply, easily doubles wattage down to 2 ohms, high amperage. Huge soundstage, sweet sounding high frequencies. Made in Indiana, they have an upgrad...

The Quads will lose that hardness on top when you upgrade the cabling....
