Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used
I guess I am just lucky. I bought my RM22si's on this site about 4 months ago and just love them. I have them paired with a Classe Cap-150 integrated, Arcam FMJ CD-23, and Harmonic Tech cables and it sounds great -- very sweet, great imaging, etc.... 
Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach
I have been going with the "play it and listen" approach and am finding it quite rewarding. There really have been distinct improvements in stages. The difference in terms of the highs smoothing out and enhanced detail have been quite remarkable. ... 
Who R U?
Sounds good Albert -- would love to chat sometime once I get settled. Kristina was truly excited to hear that I praised her among the audiophilesGreg -- I admit to being busted -- stolen from Pascal it was. 
Who R U?
I am 29, live in New York, and am a true rookie to the audiophile world. I have a pompous and overly inflated title at a great firm that has genuinely talented folks advising big investors and governments about what is going on in the world (I am ...

Acoustic Energy Aegis vs. Monitor Audio Bronze
Hmmm...just looked at the Tyler stuff a bit and it looks very interesting. Any sense of the difference between the Home Theatre package and the Mojo package? Similar price, different looks, sound difference? 
Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach
Thanks much for the good advice, I am very excited to get going with this puppy. I am somewhat torn on whether to listen to the break in (sounds intriguing, but frustrating at first) vs. use the fact that I cannot move in for the time being to get...

In response to your question, Mont Blanc is to the pen world (aside from a few of their Limited Editions, which can be nice) what Bose is to the audio world (more or less). Their basic pens are kind of an overpriced cliche for those who do not nec... 
Acoustic Energy Aegis vs. Monitor Audio Bronze
Thanks Rar1 -- had not considered the Wharefdale's, but will see if I can find a place in NYC to give them a listen. RGD, sounds like a reasonable suggestion -- your thoughts on a good set of mains for that system would be much appreciated. For so...

The gateway drug to watch collecting (I could never keep up with them) -- Fountain pens. As with many good hobbies, a way to take a simple part of daily life and make it a true pleasure (and a way to waste endless time).
