Would you pay to audition speakers
I would pay $500 to audition a speaker in the 10-20K range, but that would be for an in home audition for at least a one week period. 
Devore and Shindo match
Thanks for your comments. I have recently added the Monbrison to my system, and it has been very impressive. To consider one of the Shindo amps, it would also mean thatI would have to chose a speaker as well. Mine is not suitable for 40 watts or b... 
Devore and Shindo match
Dgad, No doubt on both your points. I just decided to move on from VTL due to the marriage. If my room was a bit larger, I may have explored some other speaker options. There is no doubt that the VTL is a premier amp matched with the right speaker... 
Devore and Shindo match
Dgad, having owned the 750's, I agree with you. Certainly as far as driving Vandersteen 5A's go. They just couldn't get out of their own way. Although, I would never recommend the older VTL amps with Vandersteen's period. As far as the Nine's w/ V... 
Best "Green River" Available on Vinyl?
Cd Universe is selling BMS for 7+ bucks. Has anyone checked out Long Road Home, just asking again. 
Best "Green River" Available on Vinyl?
Has anyone heard "Lond Road Home". This has alot of Credance songs, and is a 2006 recording. I have the 45 rpm of Suzy Q. I am brain dead on the b-side tune, but I like it even better. Anyway, no complaints here on sound quality of this one. I als... 
Coincident Eclipse vs Devore
Wing Wong , forward. Moon mon, recessed. Thanks for the interpretation. I am sure others can help you out on this one. When I heard the Nines, I was really impressed with them. However, I would like to hear them with my amp before making any judge... 
Coincident Eclipse vs Devore
Wing wong or Moon Mon. Alright sir, last call! 
Coincident Eclipse vs Devore
Jetrexpro, Just curious. I am also considering Nines BTW, but what was the source or sources. There is a big difference between a VDH Colibri, and a Koetsu. If it was CD, between Audio Aero and Esoteric. Jonathan commented "The Montrachet is the m... 
Devore Super 8's or Nines w/ Jolida 302?
Byegolly, 30 X 18 would definitely warrant the bigger Nines. My room is 12 X 23, and I am thinking Nines. I would not hesitate to go Silverbacks, but my price range is around the Nines. I assume your ceilings are standard 8 feet, since you didn't ... 
Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG
Thanks for the reco. Here's another I stumbled on. Lindsey Buckingham: Live At Bass Auditorium. I believe This one is only available with both the CD and DVD. I picked it up at Barnes and Noble, for $ 24.99. I have no idea about the DVD, but the C... 
What is "rich mans" DL-103?
" Right now I have a TW Raven AC with Graham Phantom,so that combo is out of the question".Is the Ortofon SPU not a good match with the Phantom. 
Coincident Eclipse vs Devore
I will soon be listening to the Devores, likely the Ninesbecause this dealer did not have the Silverbacks." The Devores may look good paper in that regard, but I've seen alot of tube amplifiers just never bring them to life." Just curious. What wo...

Improving your BAT 150SE
Are there any other preamp manufacturers that use these TFIF V-caps. They must be really expensive based on what the LA300ME retails for. I am not questioning it's value, as I am sure it may be worth every penny. Just wondering if there is any oth...
