VD Revelation Speaker cables -
I had a pair of VD revs on demo, back to back with Kubala Sonsna Emotions and thought the highs were excellent. I could not get them to image properly, plus they were so physically inflexible I could not live with them, that said they were very, v... 
Music out there with good bass
I have to agree with all the pipe / church organ posters. Not my style of music really, but nothing will stoop so low naturally as a pipe organ.I think there is a lot of very manufactured / sampled / looped bass on Moby "Play" but won't sound as g... 
Snake oil, subs and alcohol
Tommy - "when I see 5 beers and five hours I don't see coincidence, I see providence"Drubin - I'd been out on a very acoholic cookery course and decided to "bat on" :o) 
Wilson Sophia matching poweramp
I have Krell with my Sophias and room treatment has calmed them no problem. I have also heard Krell FBP-450 with them which also sounded great (initial demo).My shortlist for power is Lamm 1.2, VTL 450 / S-400, Dartzeel, or Chapter.Good luck and e... 
I think it is time to retire
I think it is the ability of some of these guys to trot out some of their old work and some new stuff too, which marks them out as the true greats. If they only lived on their back catalogue, firstly they would probably go mad, but more importantl... 
Best single-malt Scotch...
Glenfarclas 25 year old - big and rich almost like the sherry barrels they age it in! 
Wilson Sophia 2 vs B&W 802d
Interested to hear what you will be powering them with - enjoy! 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
My 2pHigh end is far from inexpensive (I can't see many disagreeing).This is not something which is immediately demonstrable to our peers and therefore lacks value (bling) unless I let you into my fortress (house).Since our other high value items ... 
High end amp - my last step
Soniqmike - the sophias are not my last step. But whilst I live in my current house, with the living room on the first floor and the room only 14' * 16' - they are staying. The next upgrade will be to a Meridian 800 cd/dvd player. As for keeping s... 
High end amp - my last step
Re:ChapterI have exchanged a couple of email with Duncan and spoke with him today. I'll listen to the stereo couplet and if I like it, I may consider a home demo of the mono couplets (which I don;t think are on their website yet.)Relative to the o... 
High end amp - my last step
I have had a word with the UK distributor for Lamm. He suggested that even a ML2.1 may work with my speakers - well we'll see! He also thought, as many would, a Lamm pre-amp would be beneficial. I'm not ready for that though - doesn't mean it will... 
Tenor 75WP or Lamm 1.1 for Kharma Midi Grand?
Dmailer - what do you think the minimum efficiency would be for the ML-1? 
Anyone heard the Krell Evo 402?
My dealer suggested they have lost any of their harsh edge (UK importer). This may be to no negative feedback. I have not heard them though. 
High end amp - my last step
I now recognise the brand as EAR - which I have heard of. I'll give them a call this week.Seperately I got an email from FM acoustics today - they don't distribute in the UK and don't have any 2nd hand kit (they invite you to ask on their site). I... 
Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat?
Sogood51 - sorry - no, not funny - what I mean is I prefer her playing and that of her band, to her singing:o)
