| shunyata research vs audience adept Neither. The one you want to demo is the Synergistic Research Tesla Powercell 10SE; my friend had the Shunyata and after my recommendation to try the SR stuff he dumped all his Shunyata. I owned the Audience 12T and while a great unit pales in com... | |
| Rowlands If you ever meet Jeff Rowland you will find him to be very calm, low key, humble and approachable I don't get the feeling he cares to play the games with reviewers to get his stuff reviewed; it speaks for itself. Jeff has a huge following overseas... | |

| Ayon Vs. Audio Research Preamps The Ayon room at the T.H.E. Show in Orange County was incredible and I bet you won't be disappointed with the Ayon. I am a Ref 5 owner and could be very happy with the Ayon stuff. The 5s CD player is a very musical sounding player too. I think the... | |
| How far have power conditioners evolved? Try the Synergistic Research Tesla Powercell SE; you'll be using your other power conditioner as a door stop! Anyone I know that has tried it has purchased it. I owned the Audience 12T with top of the line power cord; it's a great unit. When I hea... | |

| Should i go Boulder 1060 or Jeff Rowland 625 After the Dan D"Agostino Momentum monoblock amps, the two Jeff Rowland rooms with his 625 amp were my favorite solid state systems at CES. The sound was incredibly musical, with great depth and height of sound stage. I preferred the sound to the B... | |

| 90's recording jazz, in a diner Jazz at the Pawnshop was actually recorded in the late 70's and is still A's much fun today than it ever was! I like Bill Evan's Waltz for Debbie live recording; good recording with good crowd noise. | |
| Best of the new jazz 45rpm reissues Love all of Rushton's recommendations except the Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch; they sound like they are; very different sounding LP.I love Lee Morgan's Candy 45 LP from Music Matters; great music and performance from Lee at the tender age of 20 years ... | |
| New Album from The Cars "Move Like This" I read an interview with Paulina and she said she was sick of pretty boys she did shoots with; no attraction. I guess that explains her choice of a goofy looking rich rocker like Ric Ocasick. Since we're on this side topic, the same can be said fo... | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling Vendetta Research SCP-2B John Curl designed phono pre amp and my Caravelle Monitor speaker and stands. Should have kept the first due to its collector's value and the second for a second system; Caravelle's are incredible monitors; never heard bet... |
