Vine bark&spore is available from amazon.Telepathic communication would beat anything I can imagine. Primitive cultures or primal basic cultures? 
Dual subs and room size

I think, they are not bad, could be a little more sophisticated. For some reason I liked the last two tracks most. I checked their other albums as well. I like tribal ambient music.You could try Steve Roach/Jorge Reyes - Vine Bark&Spore album.... 
Dynaudio C1 compared to Harbeth Super HL5 plus?
Are Harbeths deficient in bass and high frequency extension? 
Tube Preamp for around 2K?
Charles, you may be right. It also depends on the subjective definition of what is good enough. And I agree that $3.5k and $2k is a big difference for many people, me included. But I would wait a little longer and get a much better piece, and that... 
What do audiophiles want from a cable?
Waxwaves, I never tried any Proteus or Dominus. Also, your system is very different, so no wonder it requires different Purist cables for the overall best sound. But I can tell that another striking quality of the Neptune fluid is its great balanc...

Please help ...integrated amp under $1200

Bill Legall-MillerSound speaker driver repair
Jmcgrogan2, I sure will. But I am not in a hurry, I may actually never do it. The speakers are 17 years old so I thought why not? But for now they sound like the day I got them used, only better because the rest of my system is much better now. 
Please help ...integrated amp under $1200
I just must mention it because that's what I listen to, and I am quite hard to please. Redgum Audio RGi120. 120 watt/ch/8ohm. There is one here for sale from Canada for $999, perhaps less. The current price new is about $2700 directly from Austral...
