| Rate these on order of importance: PS I realized on checking the recording that I was spelling Ottorino Respighi's name incorrectly. It is spelled correctly here. Not surprising as I have trouble spelling my own name correctly these days! It's the RAID again, no doubt. | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Nrchy - Sorry to have cut off your comeback. You've made some good points that I happen to agree with. I could also add that the 'room' issue is also at the root of many a good deal on Audiogon where someone doesn't give a component or system a fi... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: LOL Matchstikman. When I first moved back to NYC from school I lived in an apartment the size of one of my LaScalas!! Resphigi's Church Windows is not opera. I don't know if Resphigi ever composed any opera's, but this is symphonic music in a kind... | |
| Best DAC for under $500 Also highly recommended in used, if you can find one: Muse Model 2+ DAC. It will likely be a bit more than $500, but make sure to get the plus version which is HDCD compatible and outperforms the straight model 2 (not a bad DAC either I'm told, an... | |
| how do you know when you've blown a speaker? You're a sick puppy Jmslaw - I love it! Now go and gargle to get that nasty taste out of your mouth!Marco | |
| Rate these on order of importance: I believe Nrchy was inferring that if the information is not retrieved from the source in the first place, or is distorted or colored in a specific way by the source component, nothing you can do down the line is going to alter that. The room, on ... | |

| Rate these on order of importance: Matchstickman - You're hearing me screaming? Man you must be one of those underpaid audio reviewers who can hear dog whistles, and gets annoyed if a mouse farts in the basement during their favorite passage of Resphigi's Church Windows! I had no i... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Pineapples!? Hey, we all don't live in California! Friggen' New-Age designer pizza's! I got yer' pineapples right here green man! Marco | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Herman - It's no use.....On Audiogon, no one can hear you scream!!!Marco PS Serve'em up a nice steamin' slice with cockroaches in place of the pepporoni....they'll never know the difference. I'll pass on the Pizza in that case, but I'll go for som... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Synergy between all of your criteria listed is most important. Source always tops my list as far as what to emphasize investment in (garbage in = garbage out). This subject has been beaten into the ground with a huge club on all the lists. Stick a... | |
| What is the best tube amp for Klipsch Cornwall spk I love the combination of Quicksilver amps with Klipsch. I have had many variations on that combination and none have failed to disappoint. Currently running Quicksilver amps with LaScala's at home and with Heresy's at work. You could easily drive... | |
| ARC LS2 tube life? Since you've owned your LS2 for a while you likely know what you are missing. I can say that mine can sound very analytical when combined with my SET amp and I would never use that combination, but with my push/pull it is magic. Swapping out speak... | |
