Power Conditioners Recommendations
I see that you are new, and looking for advice. Don't let people throw you-off with unhelpful and false advice....(roll of eyes)Which unit you get may depend on where you're going to use it and with what equipment. Filters are useful for keeping n... 
Just took delivery of the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and-
I have found that the Red Wine 30.2 is excellent in the bass and midrange, but it leaves something to be desired in the high frequencies. The highs are somewhat laid-back and lack extension. 
Has anybody listened to WLM speakers?
Since the last post here, Six moons has gone on to award the WLM Diva ( and other WLM speakers) with Blue Moon Awards. He has also given great reviews to the Made-in-USA Red Wine Audio 30 and 30.2 amps, as well as the Almarro tube amps, and he end... 
Just took delivery of the Red Wine Audio 30.2 and-
The Red Wine 30 and 30.2 are also a great match for the WLM speakers from Austria (98dB efficient!). Six Moons has awarded both companies, and endorses those as a match made in heaven. 
Cambridge 840C, YES it is as good as the reviews
It is hardly surprising the the 840 Azur sounds great, since the Cambridge is using the Anagram technologies processing inside, it's bound to be good. Some of the best players in the world for the last eight or nine years used Anagram - like the A... 
High efficiency speakers for Shindo
A 15 watt tube amp is not going to work with the Gershmans. I've heard 30 and 40 watt tubes with the Gershman Avantgarde, and they don't work either. They can't control that "mass loaded" woofer with the ring on it. At lower volumes, you're okay, ... 
Westwood One Radio LPs
Hi Gaslover, (and all) The reason I'm asking, is because I was at the home of a guy today who is selling his vinyl collection. I picked up some good stuff, and I saw that he had a couple of box sets of Westwood Radio concerts, including a live per... 
Stanalog - Still in business ?
Good service and communication seem to be the exception there, not the rule. I also have been trying to buy something there recently. I got one email reply after a couple of weeks to acknowldege my request....then nothing!! He has my phone number ... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
I haven't visited this thread in quite a while, but it's very existence is burned into my memory.Today, a member of Canuck Audio Mart (www.canuckaudiomart.com ) posted that he has been informed by his doctors that he may not make it through Christ...

Any thoughts on the CD "trimmer"
I'd suggest that all of this theorizing is not helping the original poster. Y'all should read the Audiodesksysteme website to get an accurate idea of what this system does.A review was published in a British HiFi magazine recently that explains th... 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
So what's wrong with the term "musical"? A large portion of the Audiofool population sits and listens for tiny little details in the music, thinking that this is the Hallmark of Audio reproduciton. (Gawd, did you hear that? I heard one of the musi... 
LA Show Report
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that the Primedia/Stereophile show in L.A. had relatively poor attendance by the Trade. (manufacturers, distributors, retailers, etc.) The show is horrendously expensive for exhibitors, and for that reason alon... 
Aurum Acoustics Integris CDP
Side by side? No, but I sincerely doubt that you are going to find anyone who has. I have heard both and I reported what I heard to be the differences. To be fair, the performance of the player may have been handicapped by the components downstrea... 
Aurum Acoustics Integris CDP
The Aurum CD player appears to have been derived from a combination of technology seen in the Orpheus Labs and Audio Aero products. However, it can't use the patented STARS process that Audio Aero uses, so it does not quite measure-up to that stan...
