Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least...
LOL Just messing with ya guys. Yeah rob, you are right, there are too many recordings that aren't on LP. I buy CDs too out of necessity 
Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least...

Best headphones you've ever heard/used
I find this interesting because my findings contradict a lot of other opinions on this thread. I bought the Ety ER4S - used with various amps, HATED them, and returned them. Next to my MG Head + HD600s at the time, they sounded like a broken toy. ...

Tube amp for Dynaudio Contour 2.8 speakers
Seantrong - I understand the adversion to using SS power - Yes, tubes are great, I used to be an SET tubes only guy with high eff speakers. but this hi-fi thing is about synergy and system matching. Your Dynaudio speakers were built for high curre... 
How do I hook up a subwoofer for 2-channel
if you use the high-pass crossover in the sub you only need one pair of outputs from the preamp, right? 
Remedy for Spendor sub 60Hz deficiency?

Sonus Faber Sound?
Ruthless accuracy is an oxymoron.Enjoy your speakersTodd 
Sonus Faber Sound?
To throw a different opinion in the mix - I am not a fan of the Sonus Faber sound. I have had extensive auditions with: GPH, original GP, Concertos, Concertinos, Cremonas, Cremona auditors. All different electronics, tubes and ss. Though there are...
