Don't be depressed Rok! Given that most individual kit purchases are much bigger investments than most individual music purchases, it's unsurprising that boards have more dithering about gear. But there's a lot of music discussion here; it's one o...

I agree with those above who have noted the predations of the Vandersteen Enforcer. Om the other hand, he appears to be genuinely passionate about the speakers, and although I seem to recall that he is not quite compulsive about using the dealer d...

I could end up talking to myself!! Would that count as a change, Rok? ;)

I've no objection, as long as they identify themselves, and don't run down other products. Most of the professionals here are also hobbyists, often among the most experienced here, and I value their perspective. Peter, Duke (who seems quiet lately... 
Album which you have listened to most?
End of story, end of thread.Does this mean that all future posters have listened most to "Revolver"? 
The New PS Audio PWD MKII
With USB the DAC works flawlessly like any other DAC.Not in my experience. (Of the PWD II, that is; I've not tried every other DAC.)Stickman: I run an external hard drive (Lacie) to my MAC Book with USB, and MAC to DAC with USB. With the PWD I, I ... 
The New PS Audio PWD MKII
I've had both in my system recently. The DL III is a nice DAC, but sounds rather poor in comparison to the PWD II, which sounds very fine.Implementing the PWD II off a computer has the potential for headaches -- in my case, endless headaches -- wh... 
Importance of Soundstage/Imaging
I was thinking a speaker should possess the attribute "fun to listen to."John 
WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW?

ADCOM GFA 555-II distortion alert?
Wow, probably my first thread on the 'Gon! Seven years. Wish I had some advice, Lulu, I never figured it out, and moved on to Odyssey, and then to Pass. The store that "serviced" it is out of business, as it should be.Good luck,John

Best Rock Album in 2012
I'm inclined to vote against the new Neil Young and Crazy Horse, "Americana."Not the most rabid Neil fan (though I follow many of his musical descendants), but I was intrigued by the song list of folk classics like "O Susannah" on this one. Unfort... 
Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A
My speakers are PBN Montana EPS2s, Mariasplunge. A very musical pairing, IMHO. Definitely not monitors, though. But why are monitors a requirement? The EPS2s are big (as are many comparatively efficient speakers), but they play pretty close to bou... 
Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A
You'll want pretty efficient speakers, which may significantly limit monitor choices, esp. if you are partial to big lows. I listen pretty quietly, and have 92db/4ohm speakers driven by the INT-30A; while it is a lovely, smooth, amp, I'd not say i...
