Saw Steely Dan
"Your wife was TEXTING during a Steely Dan concert? That's just wrong!!!" Make your choice, live with your choice!Of course, I will leave that choice behind if I go see SDin NYC later this year. 
Saw Steely Dan
Just saw them a few weeks ago at Tanglewood in the Berkshires.They are just awesome. I enjoyed every second. They were so good, my wife's texting didn't even bother me. 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
"As a result, I felt like the Orangutans still lacked the speed and transparency of the Veritys in that same room, "Cfluxa, Great posts and thanks for sharing your thoughts.The only thing about Verity's is that I don't believe they are quite as ef... 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Mmm. That review was simply, delicious ! 
Ideal SUT for Lyra Olympos cartridge?
"I'm using a Shindo Vosne Romanee phono which is on board and of the MM type."Frontier 1, Did you try the Olympos direct in to the VR'sMC input. I would guess that if your V-R has an MC input, that you have. You may want to talk to Dave Slagle, wh... 
VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus
"Though, really, the Amadeus is quite a good value as it is."It really is IMHO. I am sure the Dynavector XX-2's are great w/ the Amadeus, as is my EMT-Tsd-15. Decca London SG sounds interesting too.If it were my choice, it would be which model I c...

Disappointing Evening
Navin R. Johnson: [upset about the escargot entre] First they didn't have the bamboo umbrellas for the drinks, and now snails on the plate! "Die, Navin R. Johnson." "He really hates these cans!"As far as the thread goes: Simpletons ! 
Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions?
I guess this whole market has no love for ceramic!IMHO, that is not the case. Even though Atlanta is a major city, it seems to have less going on than NYC, CA, or even Denver. I certainly hope that changes, while the places mentioned get stronger ... 
The difinitive recording of AJA
I have a rainbow yellow ABC, and the Cisco. I need to compare the two directly, as I have yet to do it. IMO, the ABC first press sounds great. It was like $8.00, so you can't go wrong. I would look for a clean used copy, and get more opinions on t... 
Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's
I had the VTL 750's on the 5A's as well. I still would go with the Quicksilver in your price range. 
Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's
I had the Phi 300.1, Quickie V-4's in SE and another pair in balanced all on the Vandersteen 5A's. I have owned two of Vac's KT-88 amps, the other being the Standard 220 Signature. IMHO, the Vac's are not warm for a tube amp. Not in any of my setu... 
DeVore Orangutan O/96
Lowens, I have not heard the 0/96's, but I plan on doing so soon. Sorry for the confusion, what you read was me repeatingwhat Jetrexpro had said. 
picked up Steely Dan : Can't buy a Thrill on ABC
Thanks Qdrone. I will be keeping an eye out for a clean original MCA of Gaucho. I also have to grab a black label Countdown to Ecstacy, which I bet will be a bit tougherto find in nice condition.
