Sony 9000ES: DanWright or StanWarren Mod
Does this third party work void the 3 year warranty? 
Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds
Warning: The Toshiba_EMI UmmaGumma outer jacket is larger than a standard CD case and therefore does not fit into my storage cabinet... Surprise!!! 
Anyone heard the Toshiba EMI Pink Floyds
Listened to the "UmmaGumma" tonight. As usual, was blown away... The Floyd has always been a carefully recorded group so should you run out and scoop the new ones up?Well, this issue is very strong sonically and certainly very quiet (low noise flo... 
What is the best digital cable?
Music Direct is touting the Creative Cable Concepts "Green Hornet" at $299.99. Has true 75 ohm impedance. I haven't heard, however. 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
Rsuminsby: You devil! 
Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers
Yes the so called "brotherhood" of audiophiles apparently ends when the manufacturers/dealers need gas for their Mercedes. $100 for $1 worth of product? No problem! There are plenty of suckers to go around! Keep shoveling! Alright, I know I sound ... 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
Yes, I most certainly did have a "problem" with my unit which I purchased new from an authorized dealer (consistently voted among the "top 10" in the country by some magazine or other). I contacted the dealer within a day of purchase which is when... 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
Dude, you misunderstand. My post says something like: "I was satisfied with its sound". This means it sounded good. I complained that if the unit was unplugged, it took a full hour of being unplugged to return to a functional state. This was confi... 
Tube Friendly Speakers
These may not be as esoteric as some would like but I think KEF reference series are "just right" for tubes. I'm using the Ref-III.2 with my ARC VT-100 and am extremely satisfied. The Ref series is fairly high output, 90 db give or take, and has a... 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
This sounds like a great setup! I'd tend to not use the #39 unless you are getting a super deal. I've owned this unit and was satisfied with its sound. It was "tweeky" in the sense that if it ever loses power, a full hour must pass before plugging... 
Best places to find records on Chicago
If you are buying oldies, forget stores and stick with ebay. I've recently completed my 30 year quest to replace long-lost favorites and found them all on the web, in absolutely pristine condition, and most for chump change! Somebody pinch me!!! N... 
Washington Post Article
Old timers like myself keep things in perspective by removing a zero from a system's total cost. That way we understand what's really going on. If I spend say $25,000 on my system (in today's money), I remove a zero and it becomes $2,500 (it's val... 
Best air guitar? drums?
Best air guitar song/Best song-substitute for amphetamines: REO Speedwagon - "Roll With The Changes".Best air drums: Alice Cooper - "Halo of Flies". 
Audio Artistry Dvorak.Any users?
Kurt: Good point about the distance for good soundstaging.These guys like to be wide apart and back as far as possible.I also think the towers are to tall for on-axis listening. The tweeter is a good 12 inches above your head (if you are reclining... 
Audio Artistry Dvorak.Any users?
I am using this speaker. I do not advise using it with tubes. I've used it with ARC VT100 for the last 3 years with mixed results. Tonight, I'm using borrowed BEL MK-V monoblocks and the sound is STUNNING! This is the true meaning of synergy! This...
