Peachtree Reliability issues?
My iDecco stopped playing music an hour after I received it. I opened it up, saw a burnt out fuse, replaced it, and it has been playing non-stop for 4 years now.

Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
On the Zu vs Coincident questions... I own a pair of Zu Essences. I have not heard the Coincidents, but my guess is that the Coincidents will throw a deeper soundstage, front to back, while the Zu's will be a bit quicker on the attack. I am guessi... 
Is good customer service about dead?
The best customer service in high that I have received in high end audio has come from Manley Labs and Zu Audio. When I had an issue that concerned my Manley 300b amps Eve Anna Manley herself contacted me directly, answered my questions, solved my... 
Amp upgrade for my Peach Tree Deco? on a budget
Onix sp3. An amazing, beautiful, little integrated tube amplifier. It destroys the idecco's amp in every way. It's soundstage is precise, differentiated, and palpable. It can be tonally gorgeous. A huge step up from the decco's amp. You can usuall...

Where should I go next? Where are my weak links?
Charles1dad, Thanks for the offer to lend me the tubes, but I'm afraid that my amps require 4 300b rather than the two in your Franks. I just ordered a set of the Psavanes and --as per Mechans recomendation-- I am switching my 6SN7 drivers also. M... 
Where should I go next? Where are my weak links?
Dear me, where to start? I did a little reading on impedance matching between amplifiers and speakers, so I think I have a better understanding of the mechanics involved at this point than before. I believe Rauliruegas is sincere and forthright in... 
Where should I go next? Where are my weak links?
Wow, thank you all for the suggestions. I actually agree with all of you. 1. Enjoy the music, yep, I'm definitely doing that. My system is good enough, it presents a solid enough illusion of realism that it takes an effort to actually listen criti...

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
"Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine." 
Speaker rec for difficult placement $1,000
Zu Audio Essences, Omens, Superfly... They do well near the wall, ported at the bottom, and the do well widely separated. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
My Manley Neo-Classic SE/PP 300b amplifiers, they love me back.
