"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what?
Good story, Bob. And Leafs, what does fovered mean? Is it liked 'rogered' or more like 'buggered'? 
"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what?
Where does one find The Audio Critic, to subscribe to or to read online. I've seen several references to his "Top 10 Lies" article, which I would especially like to see. 
Bel Canto or Birdland?
I don't know the MSB Link series products or the BC, but I just spent about 3 weeks with their new Platinum DAC and thought it was excellent. About $3K and quite homely. 
Great Sounding New Releases
He's a singer-songwriter. The music is more grown up than most of the adult contemporary stuff I hear on the radio. This record has a nice eclecticism of song styles. Some of his singing is very reminiscent of the late Jeff Buckley, but the music ... 
Great Sounding New Releases
I agree. This is the best-sounding GD ever released, and it's from that particularly sweet time in the band's career--The Quintessential Quintet, indeed. A new one to check out: Wonder Bar by Martin Sexton. Good enough sound, but better music. Ver... 
Rel Sub Woofers..Any Experience
One cautionary note: RELs appear to not work well with certain amplifiers (dual differential I guess it is), such as my Pass X-150 and I believe most of the Krell amps. Special wiring configurations are recommended, but I could never get a satisfa... 
Anybody out there using Spectron amp?

Anyone heard the new Reynaud Trente's
Okay, I'm afraid I can't give you much guidance on this. The conditions under which I heard the Trentes were so different from my normal system with the Spendors, and the audition so brief, that I don't want to jump the gun on anything. I think th... 
Digital RCA vs AES/EBU connections
Any recommendations for a true 75 ohm RCA cable? 
Anyone heard the new Reynaud Trente's
I own the SP1/2 and expect to listen to the Trentes at a dealer's tomorrow. Will report back. 
Rock and Roll Speakers
In the prosound and reinforcement world, many think the boxes from Meyer Sound are king of the hill. Powered monitors, used for studio monitoring and PA work. I would love to see one of the audiophile rags review these things. I'll bet they they, ... 
Rock and Roll Speakers
A lot of buzz about the Talon speakers on Audiogon. Do they rock? 
Rock and Roll Speakers
The Bound for Sound review a while back of PBN speakers made me think they might be a worthy contender for rock and roll. Good thread, and good luck. Let us know what you discover. 
Male audiophile seeking Female audiophil
Old joke: My wife wants to take up golf and I'm panicking. She'll discover it doesn't take 11 hours to play a round.
