| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? @boxer12 I had exact same experience with the Dead in 1978 in Cleveland. Studying for my first grad school finals so completely unaltered and it was incredible, Most recently, saw Kishi Bashi this past June at the Old Town School of Folk Music. ... | |

Throughout their career they have put their take on American music - Buddy Holly, Merle Haggard, Woody Guthrie, Howling Wolf, Dixie Cups, Marty Robbins, and the list goes on. Blues, country, rock, and folk. They have recorded mor... | |

| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I have an older Unison Unico (1st generation from 2003) that I love so much, rather than replacing it I recently had it modded by Underwood HiFi. It is still going strong! Never heard the Kinki, but hard to believe it destroyed the Nuovo. See th... | |
| In need high-efficency speakers Yes, excellent post by 1markr. His description of what the Omegas bring to the table is spot on. I have the Super Alnico Monitors coupled with a pair of older REL T5 subs and the sound is wonderful. I get the occasional bug to maybe try somethi... | |

| Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end? 2nd on the Loki! I use it primarily when listening at low volumes. Nice little piece at a fantastic price. | |
| Tube suggestions for hybrid integrated amp I have a hybrid integrated that uses two 12au7/ECC82 tubes in its front end (this why I was considering at one time to try a Rogue hybrid integrated). I have tried (and still have) a variety of NOS tubes - RCA cleartops, Mullard CV 4003, Seimens... | |
| Yanni or Laurel? Yes, thanks for the back story. It is still interesting that while what one hears may vary among speaker source (tv, computer speakers, etc), different people listening to the same source hear something different. | |
| Yanni or Laurel? I have asked three folks at work today, and surprisingly two (one male and one female) hear a combination of each, while a third (male) only hears yanny.Cleeds - "I think that raises significant questions about our hobby, how valid listening tests... | |

| Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!) +3 for Omega. | |
| Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like? At AXPONA a week ago and was directed to the Vanatoo room by David Janszen of JansZen speakers. He said we would be amazed by the sound quality of the Vanatoo speakers. Was he ever right! Could not believe how good the Transparent Zero model sou... | |
| Axpona 2018 Thoughts on my 3rd AXPONA. I need to preface while I visited quite a few rooms with expensive gear, I am a 'poor' audiophile who just finished putting 2 kids through college, have had to very recently replace two cars (one with >210,000 miles ... |
