Speaker upgrade
I would tend to agree with "soix".  Disclamer, I heard the Rockport Atria at a dealers house and at RMAF in 2019.  The Magico's I heard were at RMAF I believe they were the S5's.  I also heard the JA Pearls at RMAF.  Granted they may not be the sa... 
Speaker upgrade
Is there something specific that you don't like or want to change with your current speakers?  The Rockports and Magico are different flavors.  Is there one you preferred over the other. 
As Advised, Starting With Speakers First.
If you had time Olson Hi-fi just a little north of Seattle would also be a good place to go.  The website doesn't list all of dealers but they are very helpful.  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Steve,It would really be helpful if you could update your website with the “best of” builds for IC’s and PC’s.  It’s getting difficult to follow this thread with all the great experiments.  I appreciate all your hard work and others, l just don’t ... 
New Cary DMS 700
Hmmm, some harsh comments on Cary's claims but I wonder how it sounds? 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
+ 3 for Vintage Tube Services.  Andy is my go to guy for all my NOS tubes.  Never had a problem and knows what he is doing and won't rip you off like others.   
Rockport Atria II or Magico A5
This a personal taste thing.  I like Rockports and Joseph Audio Pearls. 
Rockport owners.
I auditioned  the Rockport Atria, Magico S3 and have heard various Wilsons.  I also heard the Rockport Atria, Wilsons, Joseph Audio Pearl's and I believe Magic S5.  They all had tonal differences with all the other variables thrown in.  Wilsons ha... 
Herron VTPH-2A, Herron VTSP-360 and Herron M2
The VTSP-360 is as Keith describes after listening to 03 and 360.  I also think the  soundstage elements are improved. 
Women who enjoy quality speakers
I wish more women were interested in audio/music and frankly more people.  Somehow we have settled into casual listening and younger folks stuck with their earbuds.  I don't think people realize the escape and inner balance music makes.  I have be... 
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
I have been using Audiogon since 2001.  It's worked well for me buying and selling.   
Review: Herron Audio VTSP-3A (RO3) Linestage
Did my first listen to Keith's VTSP 360 in comparison to the VTSP 3a-03.  What I noticed was that the soundstage was deeper and wider than the 03 and there was better definition in upper frequencies and depending on the recording it was more holog... 
Experiment question about sound treatment project
Hmm, I would imagine that the frame material in rixthetricks system would cost as much as several finished panels from acoustimac which I have used in my room. 
Opening Record Store
There is a reason he is going on line, can't make the storefront work. 
IsoAcoustics Gaia 1
samgar2If you go to my virtual system you can see that I left the outriggers on.  I didn't spike them to the platform but did find some M16 short bolts to go into the holes where the spikes would go.  In addition I got some 1 3/4 round self-adhesi...
