What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
No Lansche, Classic Audio, big Kharma, big MBL, big bloody horns, Gryphon, Focal Grand Utopia, Venture etc. anyone?Most true audiophiles are relatively poor, I know. 
What's been your turntable ownership over the years?
I like this Goldmund/Verdier/SME sequence. Where would you go to next?For me it's been Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm for the last seven years. Some junk before that. I will never sell the Spacedeck even if one day I upgrade it. I could give it awa...

Couldn't help it. It's unusual that all three of them perform this tune.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADwfyxpriAM

Jesse Cook is a very accomplished guitar player. Most of what he plays is too, let's say, popular kind of new age music, but at times...yeah. Was at least once rated by Guitar or some other magazine as number two acoustic guitar player, with the f... 
Please help me find amp that sounds like a Jadis I50
I read that Jadis is Jadis, there is no substitute. It has the cult following like few others.If you really like that sound - wait a little longer save on lunches and get it.Not exactly my kind of sound but I understand the followers. 
Weakest link
You can build a very balanced system with no clear weakest link. That's what I have been trying to achieve. Once done you can relax and enjoy it until you feel the need to take it to another level, step by step. 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Some do report that, say, Mogami balanced cables perform very well in some systems. I think they are $100 1m pair or so.My experience is limited but my hearing is good enough. 
Price No Object Amps
Yeah, but used prices might be within the reach for some. Problem is, besides the price, that they will be very difficult to find used. Still, $50k is not $500k, terrible but not outrageous, and $130k is somewhere in-between. I keep hearing praise... 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Personally, I equally dismiss $25 and $25k interconnects. Let's cut the guano, good cables cost at least hundreds new. If someone is capable of making them himself that's another story.Next thing I know I will hear that there are great sounding $1... 
Weakest link
I could view the system as consisting of three elements which in turn consist of sub-elements: Source, 'wire with gain' and speakers/room. I believe any of them can be the weakest link. In my system source feels as the strongest element with the o... 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Generally speaking, people are so submissive, especially men. This is a disaster and it is getting worse. 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Self-imperialist doesn't sound too bad to me. 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
czarivey, I think you are just as an anarchist as I am. True anarchist rejects external authority in any form, democratically elected or not, there is no difference. 
Is it safe to use XLR cable to connect single ended source with single ended amp?
I would never do it.First, Al is not 100% sure. And second, the sound is to be degraded.
