| The longest you have owned any gear? Michael Green Audio free resonance speakers - 18 years.Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck - 18 years.JVC SuperVHS - 22 years. | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? Aesthetics is a subjective thing. Generally speaking, I don't care when it comes to equipment. I do care when it comes to wives, though. | |
| What direction is VPI headed? These days the situation with digital is totally different than it was 20 years ago. Computer music is going to take over almost everything. There probably will be some companies left doing custom orders, very much like you can get new tape heads ... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers This will probably match well with the kind of 'music' their owners will play. They might also excite the hell out of partners. We might be facing the beginning of ultimate idiocy and perversity.I'll take those nice furniture speakers I was talkin... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Yeah, some speakers do look weird. I don't mind it if there is a good reason for that. | |
| Artists Seemingly Incapable of Laying a Turd Can't think of anyone. | |
| What direction is VPI headed? VPI is probably headed to hell, just like every other table manufacturer. In 20 years no-one is going to buy new turntables, well, few still would but there won't be any. I hope I am wrong. | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? Overdriven amp is never a good idea, either ss or tube, even if the latter can be more tolerable. Amp should always have reserves of current and power. | |

| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world Yeah, ' Bose '. | |
| Obscure brands worth considering This is good that Redgum now has a distributor and two dealers.I have their original 16 years old RGi120 integrated. Excellent sound. No, not tube sound, and it is not supposed to be, good solid state sound, on the warmer side with impressive dyna... | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world There are many who can afford it, most are not interested. | |
| Wilsons are the best speakers in the world It would be interesting to compare all MBL and all Gryphon systems. I think, Flemming of Gryphon recently came up with some monster $350k speakers. And his amps..well, everyone knows. | |
| Obscure brands worth considering I see. Thank you. I saw a pair of his monos here recently for $3.5k, I think. They sold quickly. I am in no financial position or I would've got them and then thought what to pair them with. I would've thought of VAC too, among a few others.I assu... |
