Hegel H300
Audiozen, I'm having a difficult time finding the Coda website. I keep running into a speaker manufacturer. Can you help me out with this?I didn't mean to come across as being brash but I've heard some Hegel gear and regardless of the specs you po... 
What time do you wear?
I wear a Victorinox watch that keeps perfect time and only cost me a mere few hundred dollars. I actually carry on occasion pocket knives that cost more. 
Upcomming Montreal Jazz Fest.
I just realized how long ago you posted this. I feel bad I never noticed it. Have you made a decision on your accommodations? I'll get you information in a couple of days. 
Upcomming Montreal Jazz Fest.
Stay within walking distance to the event. Believe me, there's way too much going on to be staying 50-60km away. This is the biggest jazz festival in the world. I've been several times. I'm not going this year because I have too much work around t...

Thanks for Sharing. I think I'll get this one. 
Vintage McIntosh Question
Audio Classics. These guys are ex Mac employees and they can even take you on a tour of the Mac factory. I stopped by there a few years ago and was flabbergasted at their operation. Tour busses full of Japanese tourists stop by this place. The amo... 
Hegel H300
Audio zen, what's so great about the Coda? I don't care where it's made and I live in New York. A transformer twice as large as the one supplied with the Hegel? I don't believe you. Back yourself up. Have you ever heard the Hegel? Who sells Coda o...

So Roeluso, are you trying to say YMDV? 
Better sounding after 1 hour
Years ago when I got my Rogue Cronus Magnum, I couldn't wait more than 15 minutes for it to warm up the first time i used it. We started spinning tunes and it was mediocre at best. About 10 minutes later it opened up to the point I was practically... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
My wife drives a 2010 VW Jetta Wolfsurg Edition and its an awesome car. I'm not sure the new U.S. made VW's are as good as the older ones. Not sure if they're making the Passat here. 
Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it?
I would also be interested in the Pharaoh. I haven't been on the Rogue web site and had no idea this was shipping so soon. There's a possibility this integrated could find a room at my place. The price is right, that's for sure. 
What amp stands for Cary monoblocks?
Harmonic Resolution Systems. Not cheap but you get what you pay for (sometimes). 
Recorded No Matter What last night - Badfinger son
Excellent job on a great tune. You made my night. Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for Sharing. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
You have spent too much time dealing with this. There's only one thing in common and thats PSB speakers, which doesn't mean the integrated amps you've chosen aren't the problem. It sounds like your dealer is no help at all. I would find a new one ... 
Speakers vs. headphones
Your room is not the problem. You need more current with those speakers. Load the room with books, pillows, fat fabric chair etc and buy a current swallowing integrated for those hard to drive speakers. Headphones are not an alternative. They're a...
