Wood Cones, JVC EX-A1 $550
Um Slappy? Are you saying you read Playboy for the articles? Ok then. 
Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??
Here'a a thought, this is an oldie but a goodie if you can come across one, a Timbre TT-1 Balanced Dac. It's balanced from input to output and is great sounding. I once owned one and regret selling it to this day. If you do find one it will be wel... 
Sim Audio Moon Air Tuner.....any experience?
There is a very nice review on this tuner in a recent issue of HiFi+ magazine, I can't remember exactly which one but thier website is www.hifiplus.com and they sell back issues. For my money this is by far the best hifi mag on the market. 
Another Kind Of Blue
Ozfly, it's my first experience with these musicians with the exception of Paquito Riviera. I'll be seeing what else they've done based on this.Chazro, 'sup with you? I'll pick up a copy of Miles Latino, thanks for the recommendation. If it's anyw... 
Wilson Benesch Arc
Congratulations! W-B speakers really seem to fly a bit under the radar here. I think they look great and they always get good reviews. Keep us posted on your thoughts, I have a feeling you'll like the speakers more with each passing day. 
New Stereophile format
Just got mine yesterday after returning from vacation and I was surprised to see it. I'm still undecided, I can understand the need for the occasional graphic refreshment in any sort of pring publication but it seems to be make the mag a bit harde... 
The Lector CD Player- Opinions?
Krell_man,I think you might be confusing Lector and Vecteur. I checked enjoythemusic and found no Lector reviews but two Vecteur reviews. The Lector is an Italian top-loader that HP raved about a few issues ago. If I'm wrong my apologies. 
Why haven't we heard more about HR-X???
FWIW this table was glowingly reviewed by Roy Gregory in HiFi+ magazine and was even one of their products of the year for last year. 
Crossover mods and speaker efficiancy?
Mitch,Who performed these mods and how much was it? It sounds like a very worthwhile investment and since my Alon's use outboard crossovers it would probably not be difficult to access them, but I'm completely non-handy so I would need someone to ... 
RS Cable Solid Silver Interconnects
Larry,I just recently got a pair of the Illumine` interconnect with Eichmann Bullet RCA plugs. I must say the cable is excellent. Fabulous transparency as you would expect from silver but no glare or harshness. Just a clear window on the music and... 
New Wilco... Impressions?
My local record store said they wouldn't have it until next week! I'll have to get back to you. By the way, what's it called? 
Krell Reliability?
Tomer,I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences with Krell, it seems to be unusual from what I can tell. As far as I go I've been posting on Audiogon for over 3 years and if you check my postings you'll see I certainly don't work for Krell I ju... 
Krell Reliability?
I have to say that I've heard of folks not liking Krell sound but I've heard nothing negative about the reliability of their products. In addition I at one time owned a KPS30i cd player that I bought used, and not only did it operate flawessly, bu... 
audio research dac
I'm not familiar with it but I'm pretty sure it's not tubed. AR makes tube gear obviously but I'm their digital stuff is all solid state to the best of my knowledge. If you're looking for a tubed dac you should look elsewhere. Good luck! 
Will improperly biased amp and preamp affect sound
I would say that my experience is similar to Derrick's, my Cary 300B mono's distorted in the high frequency when the bias had wandered a bit. A quick and easy fix though. As far as preamps I've never had a preamp that needed to be biased so I can'...
