Good value for money speaker cables around $200
Gbb, I already had the Satori's in the system and was looking for something "better". 
Good value for money speaker cables around $200
Gbb, I have done a comparison of the clear day double shotgun with my Acoustic Zen Satori cables. I thought they were very, very similar to Acoustic Zen cables and I could easily use them in place of the Satori's. I don't think you could go wrong ... 
Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues?
Well I ordred a Denon AVR-X2000. The good part is that at least it has a three year warranty and it will only be used for TV and movies. I have a dedicated two channel system for music. 
Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues?
I went ahead and spent a few bucks to troubleshoot the problem with receiver. Turns out the audio / video board is bad. The repair was north of $300 so I am now going to buy a new AVR. My current candiate is the Denon AVR-X2000 which I can get for... 
Poor man's Rockport Atrias?
Thoooe, good luck on your quest! If you do find a speaker that gives you 90% of the Atria at $10k let me know since I'm also very interested in the Atria. At that price point and below there are a lot of offerings. I like the idea of supporting a ... 
Poor man's Rockport Atrias?
Tboooe did the dealer have anything else that sounded similar? Since the Atria is a new model it's really hard to even find any reviews. At least you got a chance to listen to them. They are on my short list to audition but I will need to travel t... 
Onkyo 805 receiver no sound - any clues?
Tgrisham, thanks for the note. I have been in the troubleshooting mode for the last couple of days had have come to the conclusion that it may be a power supply or something similar. Now the question is do I want to dump money into repairs or star... 
Mag editors and interviewers could do better
I would like to see different equipment reviewed. How may reviews do we really need for Magico or Wilson. The advertising drives the reviews and the truth is hard to find. I do like the reviews from Jeff Fritz of ultra soundstage and the reviews f... 
Redbook CD Is Not Dead
I would agree that redbook is not dead. It will be viable until a universal high-resolution (DSD) solution is found. The hardware, user interface and software (available titles) will all need to be in place for the average public (not just audioph... 
Review: Herron VTSP-3A R02 Linestage
Dodgealum, I'm a Herron user as well and dealing with Keith has been a pleasure. He has upgraded my original mono amps to the latest configuration for a very modest fee and last year I purchased a used VTSP-3A and he changed the faceplate to black... 
Dahlquist DQ10: what is best way to power?
These were my first speakers and I ran a McIntosh 2205 stereo amp (200 plus watts a side). I could have used more power. Get the biggest high current amp you can afford. 
Wold like comments on the Avalon Compas
Siddh,Jeff has heard the Rockports and other Avalons. I believe the author of the letter to Jeff had not heard the Rockport or Avalon Compas.

1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ?
What about the SVS Ultra Towers. Well reviewed and they seem to have a generous trial period and free shipping both ways if you don't like them. Just another option. 
Building an audio room - 12x22 - electrical plan?
Pay particular attention to the construction phase for quality work. If you can stagger the studs with any common walls that would help with sound isolation. Also seal any air gaps with acoustic calk such as baseboards, outlets etc. Sound will tra...
