Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?
I understand the fun in experimentation, I've done it for 40+ years.The finish line, since there really isn't one for most of us, is the self made line in the sand that an individual may choose to draw. After all of this time, I've drawn my line b... 
XLR for WADIA 860
I use CH Acoustics (formally CH Technologies) balanced interconnects, speaker cables and power cords in my system with great results: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rcabl&1282593547&openmine&zzKrell_man&4&5#Krell_manI ...

Gary,I want to say one more thing about this path that we are on. There's actually two paths. You're on one and I've switched over to the other about three years ago. Both paths have their merits, it's a person's choice which one that they want to...

Gary,That's what I think about my system too, and why I try to stay away from the Tone Studio in Indianapolis. Mark always brings me back down to reality.Mark Maryanovshy, the owner, is a cellist in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. When you wa...

Hook up two per side. Place the bottom one with the tweeter up and the top one with the speaker down.That's what we used to do with the EPI 100 speakers. 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
Okay Mike,I've changed my system descriptions.Now, tell me your opinion of my system. I'd really like to know. One thing that I will ask is that if you haven't actually heard the Wadia S7i, Spectron amp or Caravelle speakers, tell me so that we'll...

Mike,I sincerely apologize for two things that I did in error.First, I apologize to you for incorrectly using the apostrophes.Second, I apologize to your $22,000.00 integrated amp, $16,060.00 turntable, $9500.00 digital setup and at least $7,000.0... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
When I heard the Pulsar's with the BelCanto's at the Audio Show in Detroit, I was really disappointed.Having heard the Pearl's, I assumed that it was the BelCanto's that were disappointing to me. I'd never heard them before and assumed that the Pu... 
Review: CH Technologies X15 power cord
John,I can't disagree with you. I don't know what the web designer was doing.The only informative page is the "Philosophy" page. The "Products" page is lacking. It doesn't show the interconnects or speaker cables when you click there, and tells no...

I know that everyone is different, in both what they listen for in music, why they listen to music and as you said, the fun of experimenting with different components.But I listen to escape and relax, and I'm 57 and have been actively buying and u... 
Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?
I think that there is a finish line, but it's made by each individual. I think that point is when an individual says "I am fine right here".It may be because they are really content with the sound from their system, which has the best chance of la... 
esoteric x-05 player
First of all, just relax. It may take a few hundred hours to break in fully.Second, if the Esoteric is like my Wadia, whenever it's powered up, it will take around 24 hours for the components inside to warm up and stablize.You probably aren't to a... 
Number of yrs. to reach the finished line?
Before you can even think about finding the finish line, you have to actually know what you want to hear from your system. For example, if you like the Virtual Dynamics sound over the Stealth sound, that tells you something.Next, you have to open ...
