| New Perlisten S7T Towers Their CSO, Lars, has been in the industry 30+ years (JBL, M&K, etc.). He is Danish which might explain the wisconsin connection (Dane county, WI) haha! | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. Slaw, I agree with you. Let the music make the statement. Nothing turns me off more than a political rant at a music concert. Remember the Fish cheer? It was a good one! | |
| No Direction Home, Dylan documentary by Martin Scorsese. @bdp24 If you wake up in the morning and you are warmer than room temperature then it's a good sign :) Please stick around, I enjoy reading your posts! | |

| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? I realize that I was asking about tube amps and am still interested in them but I had an opportunity to pick up a Pass X350.5 and pulled the trigger. I am waiting for it to arrive and will report back my impressions. | |

| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? @elevick do you recall which model Cary amp you were listening to? | |
| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? @pdreher The QS V4 monoblocks may be discontinued; at least that's what I read on their website. They certainly are nice looking. @elevick I will look into the Cary's. Thanks! | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Sting, mid 2000's, Madison, WI. Uninspired, low key, little interaction with the audience, flat out boring. | |
| Time to retire a retipped Linn Troika. Best replacement cartridge? @verdantaudio Have you had an opportunity to compare the cadenza blue with the AT ART9XA? There have been some comments suggesting the latter is better and it is significantly less expensive than the C.B. |
