| Test It's a nasty can of worms we open when we decide that our rigs need to sound like they are supposed to. I've had several recording engineers to my house over the years. They do not care! When I get goose bumps from the sound, I am happy. I'm getti... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair OP, Are you determined to buy a pair of new speakers? It sounds like it. Your choices would be ten times greater if you decide to buy used. There are great speakers out there that don't get a lot of respect. If Escondido isn't too far, go listen t... | |
| What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles Because soup was mentioned I'll share my favorite: Mulligatawny soup. If you haven't heard of it, there are a lot of variations. I like the one that has sweet potatoes and apples in it. It's to die for! Don't skimp on the directions. The spices MU... | |

| Anyone hear the new PS Audio PMG Signature 512 DAC at AXPONA or otherwise? I was at the show. In fact, me and my buddies were in on the very first listening session. It’s hard to give it a real fair evaluation when you’re sitting in the back row all the way to the left. Many rooms she could hang out and get a seat in the... | |

| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? Anyone who is active on Audiogon is far from done. I tell myself I'm done but oh man! AXPONA is coming and I just need to go and have fun. | |

| How remove odor from interconnect? get yourself an ionizer! It will eliminate any oder. It oxidizes any organic matter. I have a "So Clean" machine for my CPAP. It would do the job. They're handy for cleaning other things as well. | |
| Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers. Now THIS is a cool post. The kind of post that gets me excited. I've experimented over the years with what gear works best with what other gear. I love the Beatles but have been disappointed with the sound of certain CD's played on my system; the ... | |
| Lawrence Audio speakers? They look interesting to me. It's nice when a speaker looks as good as it sounds. There was a pair of violins for sale locally. Maybe I'll look them up. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype It amazes me that there is so much talk on all topics audio. The BEST thing any of us could say is "Come over and listen to my system and decide for yourself". I live one hour north of Philadelphia. Anyone who wants to is welcome to stop by and li... | |
