Verity Parsifal Encore VS. Vandersteen 5a
Hey Tim! Hmmmm! Are we sliding down the slippery slope? Do I gather from your post that the 75 watt OTL might be of a certain Montreal origin and possibly be called an Alto? No, I mean Soprano! No wait, maybe it's a TENOR?????? Do I smell a junkie... 
VPI HR-X vs SME 20
I just love a happy ending! 
What subwoofer can i use with my speakers?
There are a number of good subs out today but 2 I can tell you to try from experience are the REL or ACI due to their flexibility in set up. The big RELs (Studio and Stentor) are excellent but expensive, the ACI Titan II LE is very good bang for t... 
Best line conditioner???
Jayctoy, I have not heard that particular PS Audio unit and do not doubt that you heard an improvement. I would like to hear that unit some day. 
Review: Vienna Acoustics Mahler Speaker
Bioman, I have been pretty ill the last few weeks (pneumonia) and do not know if I ever got back to you on this issue. If I didn't, let me know and we can discuss it at your convenience!! 
Best line conditioner???
I have to agree with you Clueless and Subaruguru, if your amplifier(s) has a good enough power supply and you have good dedicated lines with good connections and outlets, you will likley hear less improvement with a line conditioner. I do not use ... 
Best line conditioner???
I have had a bunch - Tice, Chang, PS Audio PP300, Audioprism, ESP, Sound Application XE-12 and the Audio Magic Stealth. Some were better than others, some not worth the money. But, in MY SYSTEM, the new Audio Magic Matrix (with it's new power cord...

Hey Doc! Tied up with that darn tag along eh? I understand. As they say (who and the hell is "they" anyway?), it's a dirty job but somebody has to do it!!Soooeeeeee!!!;-) 
Bright Star and Silent Running Audio Isolation
Rec, I have used the Bright Star combos (with my TNT) and had no complaints BUT have not tried the Silent Running pieces (I am seriously going to consider them [SR] now when I get my new amps). However, although I cannot speak to a comparison firs... 
Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue
Actually Tim, I didn't meet the Armegnac, I just admired it from afar! (the bottle was big enough to see from another time zone). From your post, I should be glad I didn't, all I need is ANOTHER expensive addiction!!!!St. Mike, I have yer cape. Yo... 
Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue
Cyrus buddy, I am so sorry I forgot to mention you in my last thread - remnants of this illness I am afraid (no, not audio nervosa, but the nasty sinus infection and bronchitis that has me home in bed - but the Kharmas arriving tomorrow will help ... 
Real Standup Men Audiogon Members to the Rescue
Faster than a speeding Halcro amplifier, more powerful than a pair of Pass X-1000s, able to leap tall SoundLabs in a single bound!!! . . . . and who, disguised as mikelavigne, mild mannered Sirius III D.J. (and Honda purveyor) fights a never endin... 
Funky/fusion jazz with heavy base emphasis....
Hammond, you couldn't be more right on about Brian Bromberg!!! 
If i had the money.....
KF, gotta agree that the Lamm M1.1s are special but should point out that they put out 100 watts of pure class A magic into BOTH 8 and 4 ohms. I wish they did double down into 4 ohms!! Here is a quote from the Lamm website:"Pure Class A hybrid amp...
