Musician vs. audiophile
Do not know what your source is but it may be a little lacking or processed.  Some folks are beginning to recognize the musicality of well implemented non oversampling DACs - saying that even the best delta sigma dac implementation(s) sound less n...

Help ... Totally stuck (subwoofer topic)
Does the new sub have an adjustable crossover level feature? If so, you should set the level of the crossover fairly low (25Hz), which would then (I think) use the sub's crossover to send only signals >25 Hz to the main speakers.  There are mor...

No love for Verity?
I've not heard any Verity speakers, but I have not heard a speaker with a plastic cone midrange that I would actually buy (preferring paper cones or fabric domes).  Except for *possibly* the Rockports, (or are Magicos in that group?) - but I am no... 
Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates

Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them?
@stereo5 - I've built a couple of power cords (using both the 7N P2030 and the 7N P2040III -with Oyaide connectors - and enjoy both.  To make sure you are getting them from Japan (vs. Chinese copy), you can go to the www.fromjapan.com.jp  and do a...

Annoying sounds from cars at stop light
It makes me sad to see all of those young people suffering so much..  I think the loud bass thumping has driven them so insane that many have had to resort to piercings, skin stabbing tattoos, and even their hair has turned colors.   So so sad.. ;-(

Rockport Atria or Avior in Houston to listen to ?
I think Ryan Coleman here in Houston went from Wilson’s to Rockport. He goes by the screen name ryno either on this site or the other site(s).  Another person that had Rockports was David Ellington, regional sales manager for Audioquest.  I think ... 
Power Cord
+1 on Acrolink P4030 II, but also the P4020 II (smaller guage) is quite good for digital as well.I use Oyaide P/C-004 connectors.Single or double cryo both the cable and connectors just because. :D
