Which REL sub, R528 or B2
I read this thread in its entirety today at lunch as I'm proudly picking up a lightly used mint REL B2 tomorrow morning. I wish I hadn't been drinking water when I read this from Wolf Garcia because I almost drowned. Keep it coming Wolf. "Bol1972.... 
Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?
Sorry Wolf, I did read that but blew a giant brain fart reading through the thread. I recall reading about her on NPR's website awhile back. My wife was born and raised in Worcester so we end up in the area once a year and always try and find a go... 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
"n a related subject, i read about a clinical test somewhat recently, with MDMA suggesting that a very small amount of this drug can elevate ones connection and enjoyment to music quite quickly."If I'm not mistaken that's the same drug they call M...

Starter System Suggestions
NAD!!!! Get the boy a nice NAD integrated and some monitors. It's the best way to start. Seriously, nothing beats NAD for the price. He'll never forget it when he moves on.

Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Congratulations Audiowoman. That's a great gift. 
Best Integrated, period.
I don't put a monetary value on sound. That's where I lay down my ears. As an example, I auditioned the Ayre AX5 and chose the Hegel H200 over it. Believe me when I tell you that if I liked the Ayre better I would have made it happen. I got a emai... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
I'm coping very well today on my birthday. My wife bought me a Nordost Red Dawn LS XLR cable as a gift. I just plugged her in, now it's off to breakfast and then come home for some music. My best pal Bob from the Analog Shop in Victor NY even wrap... 
The Red Green Tinnitus reducer
Well I have zero pain and there's no cure and not much has been proven. I'm not a doctor or scientist so that's all I can offer. I'm sure there's much debate about it. 
Which Harbeth Speakers
I have the C7es3's and although I can't compare them to many other Harbeth's, I would buy the 30.1 if money weren't an issue. Much tighter and articulate. I'm not sure they're worth the extra money. With the C7es3, I preferred the Hegel H200 over ...
