| Album which you have listened to most? These four discs dominate my playlist. I play them when I relax, when I want to evaluate changes to my system and I take them to audtion new equipment. But most of all, I just love their music.Robby Longley - Danza MoraRobby Longley - SanctuaryOsc... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? Marco I always get the DWR catalogs and oooh and aahhh at the pictures, but laugh at the prices. I have actually bought some closeout stuff from them though.PULL THE TRIGGER ED!!!! | |

| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? Ooooh, good prices! Thanks Marco. Did you get your Le Corbusier Chaise there? Does that lounge slide/move along the metal arc on the base? | |
| Absolute must see at CES this year? Hey Devon,Gilbert Yeung is both talented and creative, which not surprisingly is often accompanied by a sense of humor. Remember this is the guy that brought us the purse preamp and high heel pump monoblocks, heheh.When I entered the Blue Circle r... | |

| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? I listen to my system with my ass in a Herman Miller Aeron. I've been using one at work for almost eight years and one at home for over four. Great comfort and adjustability.My dad uses an Ekornes Stressless chair. | |
| Speaker wire, help my laid back sound?? I agree Greh, as I mentioned earlier probably the only way a cable change would make that much of a difference is if Steve changes to a silver cable. It seems it worked for you.I just think it's better to make sure that there are no acoustic issue... | |
| Speaker wire, help my laid back sound?? Hmmm, the room doesn't seem overly large. It could be the surrounding furniture, rugs, bookcases, etc... deadening the sound.My guess is the open space on the side may be sucking the sound out. That and/or the long cable lengths. I suspect it's an... | |
| Speaker wire, help my laid back sound?? Hey Steve,I don't have any experience with the Goertz MI2, but have read good things about it. Unless you go to a drastically different type of cable such as one composed of silver I think Newbee is right and you may not get the big, positive chan... | |
| Speaker wire, help my laid back sound?? Gosh, looking at your equipment list I'm thinking that your sound shouldn't be so laid back. Musical yes, but not lifeless.In what way is your system too laid back? Small, distant soundstage? Lack of punch, dynamics? Rolled off top end or bass? Re... | |
| biamping.. better long ICs or Speaker Cables? You'll hear arguments both ways. I've heard people say that balanced interconnects can be used in longer lengths than single ended with less sonic degredation. I've also seen discussion of the "not less than 8 feet" conjecture for speaker cables. ... | |

| Tube DACs I've been using a 24/192 Kora Hermes DAC [version 1] for almost two years and am very happy with it.The qualities Markxiii mentions are what I realized when I replaced my Bel Canto DAC 1.1 with the Kora. The Hermes didn't sacrifice any dynamics, a... |
