Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
I have heard a number of dynamic speakers with extraordinary detail through the midrange but none that have sounded musically correct to my ear. They either have a very forward presentation and/or provide an unbalanced perspective and/or have inco... 
I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...
Some great ones here....did anyone mention Nick Drake "Pink Moon"? 
Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline
What table are you running the Conqueror on? I've always been interested in the OL arms but not so much their tables......  
Bach Double Violin Concerto
This piece has a special place in my heart. In 1986 I was a graduate student in DC and knew nothing about classical music. One night I went to see "Children of a Lesser God" in the local theater. The film has a weird soundtrack but at several poin... 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Can someone define "hot stamper" and explain how to identify/determine whether you have one, the differences between versions, and why anyone should care? What makes a "hot stamper" different from other pressings of the same LP?Sorry but I see thi...

Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report
Anyone interested in the Apollo's will definitely want to check them out at Axpona with LTA amplification. I had the pleasure of running my Daedalus DA-1.1s with a single LTA Ultralinear and to my ear they were extremely well matched. The LTA equi...

Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC upgrade to Paua opinions?
I've got a post going reflecting the same thinking except I'd like to try the Sussuro MK II. The discounts are seriously huge and there seems to be little difference other than the body between these and the new models. 
BEST MALE VOCAL EVER
How about Louis Armstrong's vocal performance on "Ella and Louis"? Gotta love it! 
Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II
Cool. Would love to hear your impressions! 
Rosanne Cash "She Remembers Everything" LP
Mofi--if you have the redbook version of "Interiors" I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to your UK pressing. I may need to track one of those down.... 
Rosanne Cash "She Remembers Everything" LP
Thanks for the heads up. I'm a huge fan. "Interiors" has to be one of the best singer-songwriter releases of all time. I also love "Ten Song Demo". Both are pretty well recorded--I wish someone would remaster and release in LP format.  
Considering used towers under $1000..
Yes, sorry--writing quickly. They sound way better than I spell..... 
Considering used towers under $1000..
A pair of Gershwin Sonograms just popped on from a dealer in NJ who posts here often. I heard these once at a show and thought they sounded very, very good for the money. He is asking $1800 but you may be able to grab them somewhere close to your ...
