"Aesthetically pleasing" DAC???
I love the way my Kora Hermes makes music, but I gotta tell you that the faceplate looks like something from a cheap Revel model kit. I think the Chord is super neato looking, kinda like a mini hi-tech bomb. 
This Sistrum stuff works
OK, I'm genuinely interested and may take the plunge. But, I enter with eyes wide open, and won't be shocked if I end up on an episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit: "Audiophiles and Their Tweaks".

proac tab. 50's w/ low powered tube amp?
Hi Jwha, I'm a friend of your brother Eric! In fact he's the one that first turned me on to the Virtual Dynamics cables and cords that have been in my system for the past year.I own both ProAc 1SCs and Tab 50 Signatures and agree tubes in the sign... 
How did you hear about Audiogon?
I think about three years ago when I was researching speakers at Audioreview I saw a reference to this site.. 
looking for a chair
I use a Herman Miller Aeron chair which is also my home office seat. It's great because I can roll it forward and backward, raise it up and down, and adjust the tilt for finding the best imaging position. It's relatively small, has a meshed seat a... 
Audiogon Annual Convention
We could meet at the Teenage Mutant Anal Gang Bang Slop-O-Rama booth at the AVN Expo at CES 2004 next year. 
Suggestions for small bookshelf speakers?
As a happy owner of ProAc 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures I would definitely recommend them especially if you're looking for small speakers that throw a large, spacious soundstage. When I owned Concertinos I was able to compare them directly to th... 
Which stands are recommended for ProAC 1SC speaker
For small monitors, the best stands may be the Sound Anchors, but I've been using 29" tall steel-shot filled Lovan Imperial 2900s and like them very much. Perfect height when listening to my Tab 50 Sigs and 1SCs in my Herman Miller Aeron chair. I'... 
Phono-Pre Suggestions ?????
What do the vinyl geeks hear think of the Grado PH as an intro to vinyl? 
ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead??
Yeah, you don't seem to see many of them around anywhere. I own 1SCs and Tab 50 Sigs and was interested to hear them at CES, but the only thing they had were the big D80s and the small home theater speakers.

What to use as a subwoofer amp
Because of their wide pro use and good reputations, I did consider the Crown and Hafler 9505 Transnova amps as well. 
What to use as a subwoofer amp
Hi Michael, I used to use an NAD 214 bridged mono to run a single 12" NHT Sw3P sub. Sonically, I felt this was slightly superior to the NHT's own SA-3 amp which is made to power the SW3P. However, eventually the NAD started to fail and when I cont...
