Is Genesis Out of Business?
I, too, haven't received ANY response from them to ANY of my mails, etc... I'm starting to look for info /upgrading /servicing alternatives (the local dealer hasn't been too hot on support -- to say the least). I assume that simple servicing may f... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Detlof, I'd add "...driven by Jadis 80" to your recent post! 
Arthur Salvatore WoW comments??
Good advice there, Detlof. Thanks! I'll settle for viagra as a pick me up. Need to double my amp current.BTW, I, too, am a depraved European; what's worse, I now live in Europe... (Don't you just love depravity?)Cheers! 
Speaker upgrade - please advise.
Errr, transd*u*cer. Sorry. 
Jazz Review
This double LP takes us through a jam meeting recording session featuring, other than the title song, Straight, No Chaser (2 takes), I Mean You (3 takes), and other musical games. The simplicity of the music coincides with its greatness. At times,... 
Classical Music Review
Szell / 10/8It's not only Curzon's piano musicality (superior indeed) that makes me single out this performance. Rather, Szell's conducting in the maestoso (hair-raisingingly intense) makes this a "triple" concerto where the star players are Curzo... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Sibelius, what about your own concerto for violin? C. Ferras/Karajan, for example? Also, if M. Solemnis would you accept Brahms Deutsche Requiem? (Klemperer, maybe)Cheers!

Cool, J, thanks. Starting to look forward to my next go. Rent's still paid for, right? May be the only way to get somethng out of my annual tax killing (*my* killing -- not the gov't).Keep on trucking (with or w/out the DL -- don't let bureaucracy... 
Positioning and Listening distance
Grungle, we must have posted ¬simultaneously. My speakers are 7ft apart, with slight toe-in, against manufacturer's instructions (closer & no toe-in). 
Help with imaging
Guys, the dude says he's tried other speakers -- w/out the problem. Logically then, it shouldn't be room related...Acssavings, have you tried any of this out? I'd be intereseted in results.Cheers! 
Loudspeaker under 3000 new or used
Add used A Physics Virgos to your list. Could fit your bill...Enjoy the search! 
Best EL34 ?
I tried Sylvania. Soft, lush (nicely) sounding. The best experience I had was with military grade telefunken. Mine came in a standard gray box with the tele logo & the (german?) army order No on it. Very good resolution, good transient attack,... 
Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers
Can you dispense with the adaptor and tightly screw part of your spades (i.e. 1/2) onto the the B&W posts? I think that'll be better than adding another connection to the conductor chain... Had a similar case with bearlabs (cardas spades) and ... 
Speaker upgrade - please advise.
While I'm in line w/ Ernie, above, I've had wallet-busting experience relating to "transducer" choice. I have purchased "great sounding" speakers in the past (A Physic Medea) -- great sounding with other amplification, that is. For "other", please... 
Record-playing Rituals?
Geez, Longplate, I've been racking my brains for yrs trying to figure out why that thing popped out of the cdp! Thanks to you, I found use for the other cdp in the cupbord... electric coasters especially effective when listening to music with frie...
