Speakers suggestion that can be driven hard
Buy an old set of B&W DM7's.The Xover will not let you pop them. Red light comes on and they break the circuit, then you turn the amp down and 10 seconds later, they click and come back online.I think there is a set on fleabay right now. 
Proac Response D1 vs. Proac Tablette 50 Signature
I would look up username: Gunbei (Gunbie??) and send him a message on this. He has owned both of these I think. He is very up to date on the Tabs and Response series. 
Headphones for 8...11 y.o children.
I was going to suggest something a lot less pricey. Right in WalMart, they have the 19.00 Sony's. I used them when I was working outside in the yard. Shocked at how good they actually were.The open-ness around the ears allows you to make sure if t...

A Tribute to the Sequerra MET 7
While I do not have the ribbons, I have the subs and the line stages. I love them too. I was unhappy with the met 7's alone, strongly preferring other mini's. But coupling them with the 8's and the sticks/ribbons is a whole different ball game.I t... 
VA: Anybody in southern VA interested in an audio club?
Still 35 minutes from Roanoke and 20 minutes from downtown Lynchburg.Sure would like to link up with others.Norfolk is a bit far, but even that now and then would be fun. 
High-end amplifier clarification?
The high end amplifier is the one that blends into your system to the point that it vanishes, calling no attention to itself. 
Ghetto A/B Comparison Idea
remember that when you use the Y adapters, you are actually hearing BOTH cables, since they are now all part of the circuit no matter what input your preamp is switched to. 
New Tweek - Has anyone ever tried this?
I have a great deal on slightly used ShunMook discs and a niiiiiiiice Tice Clock for you!LOLBut seriously, where is it that you think you hear the change?Is it possible that you have covered a convergence area by raising things? Any major piece en... 
Review: Emotiva XDA-1 DA converter
I have one of these on its way.My little Tascam popped its drive and digital in my system has been awful...being forced to use the DVD player for our Chip Davis et al at Christmas. (*gag*(to the DVD, not the Steamroller.))This is the first compone... 
Is this when you have "arrived??"
was this person familiar with a sound of a hi-end audio system? or was it a revelation?Sort of familiar with Best Buy mid-fi, but never heard anything like mine.Are you able to disclose the exact track?I would like to try and recreate this experie... 
How to explain our obsessions to the uninitiated?
I can so identify with Donaudio.Before I understood what I was doing, I too suffered the 90 second, "umm, okay...so how about those Red Sox..." several times.This may drift a tiny bit from the original issue, but I feel people need to be questione...
