An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
Beautiful piece, Oz. Well written, too. There are positive facets A/B testing after all. The post above serves as an example! Clink! 
Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares????
Sorry for the delay, Gl. The site is www.neuanceaudio.com .Cheers 
What controls/adjustments are needed for phono pre
Chazz, have no experience w/ the Denon you mention -- sorry! I'm not sure what the "key" adjustment you refer to is? Does it digitally change the musical key??? If so, it would be loading the digital musical info, after the A-D converter stage, on... 
An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
Nil & Sek brought us back, and Sek's last paragraph probably echoes many of us. Just thought I'd inform everyone that I upgraded from Lagavulin to Lafroiagg, for the jazz/blues music. The upper range is definitely better, and p.r.a.t.t. has im... 
Customer service?
Following Unsound's repeats, I declare I'm impressed. Only similar experience here (in Europe) has been with Symphonic Line. Replacements (full circuit boards, matched) sent at the price of transportation (guarantee expired of course).Good for you... 
GamuT D-200 or Plinius SA 250: What to use?
Briar, what's the rest of the equip? Your taste in music?Indeed, manufacturers usually match their equips -- but that doesn't mean you can't innovate. Gamut is a nice player, maybe the amp is more to your taste. I for one prefer the Plinius' pre's... 
If you bought a Linn Karik that arrived DOA..
IMO it would be difficult for the previous owner to know in advance of sale & shipment that said PS was on the verge of dying... Even if it were, I'm not sure why & how the shipping would have delivered it its last straw... I have KICKED a... 
Interconnects for tube equipment?
Pap, it all depends upon yr musical tastes (system synergy will come with trial of different brands). IMO, you should turn to used cables. A fast, silver cable would be my choice for tubes: the idea is, I have euphonic sound (tubes) but I need to ... 
An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
Unsurprisingly, this kind of discussion indubitably leads to recommendations for audiophile approved Scotch! My vote goes for Lagavulin -- but I won't turn down a Laphroiag (sp?) or any other single malt in the offering...After the 8th scotch, the... 
Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares????
Another support possibility is a custom sized Neuance beta shelf. You'll need four cones under it, preferably ceramic(but not necessarily, YMMV). A Neuance will bear the weight and probably offer pace & clarity into the bargain. (costs less th... 
CAT Ultimate
My experience agrees all the way with Rayhall, also Tele or Siemens for the phono section (if you have one). 
What controls/adjustments are needed for phono pre
Chazz, what Tpsonic is referring to is "matching" your cartridge's characteristics to the phono. Your ears, the cartridge manufacturer, and users (A'goners) can point you in the right direction -- no worry. As to the RIAA curve, yes, some pre-50's... 
An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
Dear Detlof, it's all a matter of psychology (said Anna to Dr Freud)..:-) All I do is pretend MY system sounds like YOURS. And when I fail the pretence, I go Craig's way: MY bad mood is at fault. Simple. Cheers, all! 
Sibelius Symphonies
Sugar just corrected & completed my previous ref to C Davis. It is on Philips of course, the Barbirolli/Halle being on EMI. Sorry. 
Miracord 50H Turntable
Relax Sean, it's just Twl going nostalgic on us :^) Just watch, he'll start talking about thermionic tubes next..!
