| Album which you have listened to most? Dekay, I seem to remember an audiophile LP version of Marrying Maiden from some years ago. Have you come across that? (It kind of surprised me because I always thought the album had rather mediocre sonics, compared to their first, for example.)Lik... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? 'Twas the Cable Company for me too. | |
| Absolute must see at CES this year? I'm heading to the Rowland room, assuming there is one, in hope of hearing and seeing the new 201 monoblocks. | |
| Next Step Up from Adcom GFP-750 Preamp? I moved from the Adcom to the Placette active, which I highly recommend (even though I finally ended up with a tube preamp). I thought the Adcom in passive mode was about as neutral as you could get until I heard the Placette. Definitely in the sa... | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements Alex, I did get the 2.4's, from a fellow Audiogoner. They arrived just before I had some back surgery, after which I went through one of those periods of not being too involved in my audio system. Starting to snap out of it now and getting back to... | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements I don't have much familiarity with the 3.6's. but this discussion is making me curious about them. I have the 2.4's and spent about 3 months with the 1.6's. The 2.4's are more forward-sounding than the 1.6, which struck the perfect balance for my ... | |

| Best Joni Mitchel Album Hejira, Blue and her first, the underappreciated Song to a Seagull. I've always thought of Court and Spark as her pop sellout album. Agree with Rec about Song to Sharon as a system eval favorite. And I think it's her greatest song, too. | |
| Thiel 3.6's - Stereophile measurements It is mandatory that your listening position with Thiel floorstanders be at least 8'-10' from the speakers. Otherwise the drivers simply will not blend. This is a consequence of the first-order crossover. | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Tori AmosR.E.M.Steve Earle | |
| Cartridge Loading- Benz LO.4 I use the Benz phono pre with my L2. The Benz pre has a fixed 22K loading. It's a good-sounding unit, but I'm not at all sure that 22K is ideal. | |
| Dynaudio S5.4 and ML No.436? You might want to look at an Edge amp. | |
| Dynaudio S5.4 and ML No.436? What were your speakers before you got the Dynaudios? | |
| Improve the Sound of your Parasound HCA3500 What's the best way to check AC polarity? And what's the best way to change it if needed? | |
| Comparing ProAc, Totem, Soliloquy, Tyler I think she's the marketing director. Definitely a factor in keeping the rooms packed at shows. |
