Great jazz and Rock unknown GEMS Share yours
Rock: Anything by dEUS (no, I don’t have the key locked, that’s the only way to write it), sadly very compressed masterings lately. http://deus.be/Rain, Tree, Crow, “Rain, Tree, Crow”not unknown, but too easily forgotten: Colosseum: “Live!”Jazz:Ju... 
new reference in the german Stereo: Einsten the ..
Agree with you on both accounts, Kops. What makes Stereo, Stereoplay and Audio so appealing to the “main crowd”, however, is in the end exactly their Achilles’ heel: they perform A/B-tests (the others never do) and they have introduced an absolute... 
Hadouk Trio....
Hi Robert,Glad to see Hadouk Trio are beginning to get the attention they deserve. Imho, Didier Malherbe is an unforgivably neglected genius.Don't think someone already mentioned their homepage that is quite informative:http://www.didiermalherbe.c...

Mert, I will not start a debate about who has reached what level for how many years. I did notice you brushed aside a product merely because it had a good review in a German magazine. (Btw have you seen the rave reviews on the dCS Puccini in HiFi ...

LP, HiFi & Records, Image hifi, Stereo, Stereoplay, Audio, Hoererlebnis, Fairaudio,.. are you seriously stating they are all the same????? (I take it for granted you read all of those) If it's the Thing About Accuphase the three magazines with...

connectng CD player directly to amp, good or bad?

ruined a phillips screw, any inspired solution?
Wow, Dreadhead I tried the hammer'n'chisel remedy. What can I say, it's as if I have a completely new player, clear upgrade: now a three-box system with separated psu snugly anchored in the ceiling. One smallish drawback: it is now slightly on the... 
Focal and Dr Who?
I sat in a closed room with two of THEM for a half hour and survived (they DO have ways of making you listen, btw...)I'm with Shadorne on the Beolab 5, they look scary even in the flesh, erm, or whatever Daleks are made of.Talking of which, here i...

Baby name opinion....
Venus Cassiopée... which would imply stereo as "transcribed" by French manufacturer Venus Acoustics, so you can do it and not get caught 8^) Of course, their even better flagship speaker is the Venus Cybela, but you don't want to risk your daughte... 
Outstanding brands?
What other brands could be considered to be in the same league.I am perfectly aware it is difficult to judge the viability of such assertion with regard to lesser known brands. But knowing ARC and MBL to a certain extent, mentioned as league refer... 
Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Hi guys, thanks for reviving this thread, most interesting findings being reported here. Over the months, I had settled for acrylic Quadraspire QX50 as support, maybe that could be the "nicer" alternative to cd jewel cases that Joeyboynj is lookin... 
Experience in isolation/resonance tweeks & brands?
Bacardi, I was hoping to find whether Aktyna had someone distributing their product in Canada and am appalled to see that their site has disappeared from the web (it used to be www.aktyna.eu). Instead, I was redirected to one of those nasty domain...
