Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave?
I'm still breaking-in my PWT. But after 200 hours - WOW - I'm floored. When I bought it, I got it for a second system, I certainly did not consider it an equal to the Accustic Arts Drive 1 in the main system -- well, the Accustic Arts is up for se...

Van Halen or Van Hagar
Van Halen!!! Only the original was the real thing. Hagar was fine on his own -- I was never a big fan though, too limited in voice tone. Anyway, I have all 6 original albums (ending with 1984) and haven't bought one since. But, did go see them for... 
Grover Huffhman Sx
I have been using Grover's cables for a couple of years now -- more recently upgrading to the Sx line. Absolutely Amazing cables -- when I originally switched, the Grover's EASILY beat out a set of pure silver cables costing over 10X's what the Gr...

Zero Autoformer good/bad for Atma/Quad combo
Thanks for the input Ralph and everyone else!So, I auditioned a set of Zero's (at home) and honestly I did not hear a beneficial difference in my system. Now, I'm NOT saying the Zero's aren't beneficial, there are definitely impressive experiences... 
Klipsch forte II what league are they in?
I've had several of the classic Klipsch loudspeakers over the years -- the classic stuff is good audiophile level. Mind you, NOT any of their newer lines, after the company was sold in 1989 to distant family, Klipsch became "commercial" and mid-fi... 
Pass X1??
Sadly, society today has been so programmed by propaganda to be "good consumers" -- if you can brake out of "the Matrix" you will see that "the latest" does NOT always equal "the greatest." Infact, rarely does it equal -- this is true in music, au... 
The closest approach: what amplification?
OTL of course!!! Sorry to say, the rest of the world doesn't know what music reproduction is all about ;) 
Zero Autoformer good/bad for Atma/Quad combo
