| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) I owned a Cronus Magnum for three years and had no hum. I have a dedicated circuit which I'm sure helped. I really liked that amp a lot. | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? I own a Hegel H200 which I love. That being said, I don't doubt your experience one bit and I'm baffled why any of the Audiogon members would question you. I've read interviews with the designer and he's a total narcissist. | |
| Hegel H300 So who has compared the H200 and H300? I don't care about what you've read. I thought the H200 sounded better than the Modwright. I haven't heard the H300, but have heard there's not much of a difference between the 200 and 300. | |
| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? I've heard the Octave and have to agree with you. Since I'm not in the market, im hoping to find a deal on a used Octave. | |
| Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths? There's a TON of Harbeths in this world. | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? I've heard the Raidho D1 with Luxman tubes and I've never heard anything so beautiful in my life. My close friend owns a shop and of everything he could pair with the Raidho, this Luxman amp provided the sweetest sound. For my personal taste, ther... | |

| Phasing out of Compact Disc My wife didn't realize it was an import. I just checked and yes, it is. I'm going to keep it as I have found many times in the past that as Zephyr mentioned, the imports are usually better sq. | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? The Revel are very nice. They come with the benefit of having an enormous amount of money to throw at R&D. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I spent some time at a friends house today listening to the Raidho D1. This was the best sound I've ever heard to date, on all genres of music. In all fairness, the entire set up was very well thought out and my friend does own a high end shop. He... | |
| McIntosh & the Bachelor Pad I think we should start talking about Hobbies. I'm beginning to consider audio a job. | |
| McIntosh & the Bachelor Pad I had a sweet bachelor pad for 8 years from the age of 31 through 39. My mailman referred to it as The Skinnin' Pad, which I never understood. The answer to your question is a Knob Creek Perfect Manhattan. You need to add a little bit of the cherr... | |
| What time do you wear? Bombaywalla, yes I have the black dial with the red GMT 24 hour hand and the stainless bracelet. I love this watch. | |
| Tinnitus For me, I usually don't notice it unless I think about it at which time it gets very loud. I haven't noticed it in days until I read this. I think you get used to it. It certainly won't hinder your enjoyment of the music. | |
| Rogue Audio Raymonda, Rogue did the same thing for me (exceptional customer service knowing I bought second hand). I have more respect for Mark and his crew than most people On this planet. I love the sound of the gear as well. |
