| worst 'long-lived' band Add Aerosmith to the list. Doesn't anyone retire anymore? | |
| There has been an incident and I need advice I had a CJ PV-10B matched with an Adcom 555 for years. It's a great preamp, and the CJ/Adcom combo makes some great sound. Plus it can be had for a good price here on Audiogon. | |
| High End Audio in Portland Oregon Stereotypes is a great place to start. I've bought a number of things there over the years, and they are great people. Knowledgeable and reliable. Fred's is also a good choice, and make sure to visit Echo for a good selection of used gear. | |
| What speaker cables to buy I've had great success with Analysis Plus cables. I'm using Oval 9, a good, affordable choice. | |
| Conrad Johnson and Proac Speakers Thanks for the advice. I'm familiar with the proac line, but based on the responses, I'm also going to listen to Theil. | |

| Most Sublime Beethoven Symphony There are so many to choose from. I enjoy Harnoncourt's recording of the third and Furtwangler's Berlin recording of the ninth. I also enjoy all of Klemperer's recordings. | |
| What is the minmimum room size for Magnepan? I have a pair of 1.6s in a smaller room. That means the seating is closer to the speakers, so the speakers are closer together for good soundstaging. Patience and careful adjustment definately pay off and the maggies are just fine. In fact, I like... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? My two greyhounds lie on the floor while the music is playing, one in front of each speaker. They don't seem to notice the music. They just enjoy being lazy. | |
| Noticed alot of Sonic Frontiers being unloaded Kevziek, you are right about the Power 2. It is beautifully finished and the sound is wonderful. Recently I hooked it up to a pair of Maggies and the Power 2 drove them with ease. And the sound! Wow! It is sad to know that the company has reached ... |
