easier to drive specifically Harbeth v Vandersteen
And oddly enough the Ayre, which is a great integrated, is a match made in hell for the Harbeth C7es3. I've never heard the LFD but in my experience with the Harbeth C7 they sound the best with tubes that have a good amount of power, or powerful S... 
Decent power strip
The Schiit was delivered today. Wow what a beautiful design and top notch build quality. Nonoise, that's hilarious. I felt like a fool after I ordered this amp but I'm thinking it might be loads of fun. I might end up with a Byfrost at some point.... 
Trip to NYC, What to do
I like Warrenh's mention of creamed spinach. No dry aged cut of beef is right without a nice side of creamed spinach. Finish your meal with creme brûlée and you might sleep 'till noon the next day. The secret is dry aged. That's when beef grows fr... 
Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions?
I'm a Brazilian fanatic. Frogman is correct that Ellis Regina is the best of the best. Check her out with Antonio Carlos Jobim called Ellis & Tom. It doesn't get any better. Check out Bebel Gilberto. She's the daughter of Joao Gilberto who bas... 
Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers
I'd love to hear a kwi200 with my Harneth C7es3's. I love these speakers paired with a high current amp. Good luck with your findings. I hope it sounds as nice as it looks. Don't forget to keep us posted. 
Decent power strip
Thanks everyone. I got myself into a wine induced impulse purchase of a Schiit Lyr headphone amp. When I realized what I had done, I decided to man up and spare Audio Advisor the pain and suffering of my stupidity. I do have a pair of AKG K702's c... 
Decent power strip
Great information from everyone. Thanks a ton. 
speakers and amp advice for a friend pls?
I'd be leaning towards NAD and B&W speakers. I know some people enjoy Rotel with B&W but you need to be familiar with Rotel to know what to use. The newer Rotel gear sounds awful to my ears. I had a NAD C317 and B&W DM602's and that co... 
Youtube, the new radio?
I bought an after market brass bearing kit for my hand crank coffee grinder and the instructions were "see Youtube video". The best directions I've ever seen was someone actually doing it. 
Youtube, the new radio?
I heard that too Mapman. I think it's great. As the one person said during that story, Id be dumfounded to not be able to find an artist on there. A serious artist has to have a Youtube presence or they're not going to make it in this world. I've ... 
Entertainer Stereo Amp?
Nikko made a na 2000. If that's what it is its worth about $25. I would pass on your friends amp regardless. When there's no information at all online for that unit, it's not worth pursuing. 
Found Speaker After 6 Yrs,Bought & Lost In Minutes
To me the system is flawed if the other buyer did the same thing and clicked on buy now. There should be a sale pending notification. 
Best Integrated, period.
I'd like the hear that new Bryston. Wasn't a fan of the Ayre AX5 with my speakers. Not enough current it seems for my taste. The Hegel H200 was excellent and I'd love to hear the Hegel H300. A solid state amp is in my future. Anyone hear any of th... 
Trip to NYC, What to do
The last time I dined at Peter Lugers I don't believe they accepted credit cards. Also, you must eat a pastrami sandwich at a deli. I'm not sure why Chayro said not to but that's just bad advice. Heck, I'd even do it at the Carnegie Deli just to b...

Did you see what this dillusional crook posted in his web site before they finally took it down last summer? Now this is funny as well as scary. What does the future hold?Thursday, July 5, 2012 2:47:41 PM GMT+5John Boey has found a new interest an...
