Best sound at Stereophile show.
Carl, I agree, I thought that was the best sound I heard. A too-brief and tightly controlled demo, unfortunately. For the size of the those speakers, what impressed me most was how lifelike and natural and engaging the solo piano sounded.Man, ther...

I thought the Viola room was pretty impressive myself. 
Any feedback on the NY Audio Show NYH?
I forgot to mention the new Meadowlark Swift. At $1095 the pair (or is it $995), these could be a hugely successful speaker. 
Any feedback on the NY Audio Show NYH?
My overall impression of the show is more good sounding rooms that I can ever remember. Few that are great, but many that are worthwhile. In the super value area, the Kikrsaeter/Blue Circle room is great.I also like the Totem Forest driven by a ne... 
i finally hit the "G" spot on my T/T
Yes, it was a joke.Levinson and his wife, the talented Kim Cattrall of Sex and the City, have a book out called Satisfaction, The Art of the Female Orgasm. I kid you not.

Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average??

I believe that Mark Levinson's new book has pointers for hitting the G-spot. 
Why get an expensive tuner?Am I missing something?
I certainly agree about the live broadcasts, I forgot about that. And I imagine these are often digitized and whatnot before being broadcast, so why is it that they sound so excellent?But I remain skeptical about the rest. What's the frequency res... 
Oh where or where have all the buyers gone?
It pains me to put forth my dismal hypothesis. The high end is in the throes of dying. We see it in the decline and failure of the magazines, the slowing of exciting new product introductions, and now a slowing of even the used market. More manufa...

>as good as, or better than CDP or turntableWaitaminute. How can it sound better than, unless perhaps your CDP or turntable are really poor? 
Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs
Thanks everybody. Are the Polks small bookshelves, or are they Bose-style satellites?I wonder about using something like a small B&W, as an example, or a ProAc, or...... A speaker one might normally put on stands. What do you think?Dan 
An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
50% or less. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
