Tracks that bring out the best of YOUR digital system
There are multiple tracks on the MFSL Cowboy Junkies Whites Off Earth Now SACD that seem almost holographic, and there are also multiple tracks on the Analog Productions Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions SACD; it may appear that I am a fan of The Co...

Sorry, but I am not buying it.  
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thank uou for your input on that part of my question, @atmasphere  .  
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
Thanks, @glennewdick  !  That is great input!  Seriously.  My preamp does have a lot of gain.  There is no noise that I can hear from the speakers with no music playing, but there is a very soft hum from the preamp itself.  It's not enough to bug ...

Thanks, Mike . . . State College is a doable trip and after a few googles that seems like a helluva deal on them, but still a "tad" over my budget, and from what I read, they are "big room speakers"?  
One answer to an oft-asked question.
I used to listen a lot  to a public radio station, 91.3 WYEP, out of Pittsburgh, and they used to play a lot of great stuff and artists that were off of the beaten track.  I don't listen to music very much in my vehicle anymore, but when I do find...

Thanks indeed. Your behaviour here seems to almost return back to respect of others... @mahgister  , did I ever begin a post by referring to someone as a "coward liar" or an "idiot" or accuse them of "hatred"?  I can only think of one such thre...

I pointed to your repeated insinuation here (2 times) about the OP identity instead of genuine interest in the thread matter Again, Saint @mahgister  , when I saw the similar screen name I was genuinely curious, so I asked, and since I thought ...

Thank you for the input, @avanti1960  , I did a quick google and the Pure Audio Project Duet 15 is a bit out of budget right now.  I am not quite as excited about the Fortes as I was last night (last night I was thinking that in the morning, or on...

Ismmatthew more likely  pick stereo rehab to install it. @jayctoy  , where is Stereo Rehab located?

This dude always aimed at character it seems ... Sorry you found the question I asked the OP (of this thread) to be offensive, Saint @mahgister  ,  I am genuinely curious as to whether the OP is @jerryg123  .  Quite a similar screen name he pic... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
. . . back to power cords and speakers, @mrdecibel , a power cord upgrade is an easier component to entertain playing around with than a speaker upgrade is.  Even on the level of a one thousand dollar power cord (although I would have to think har... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
@mrdecibel , well, "nauseous" was hyperbole. As is "nails on a chalkboard." What I would say, in all honesty, is that I find poorly mastered and/or recorded CDs to be lifeless and un-engaging with a very flat sound stage. Often I find them to sou... 
High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps?
I am very sorry if my words are taken hurtfully. Not at all, @mrdecibel . I value your input! As far as my questions regarding power cords and my interest in speakers: back when I bought the SA10 the salesman from MD told me that it would re...
