Need recommendations on stand mount speakers
As far as I know, no manufacturers has called me to set up an in home design charette to design speakers tuned to my ears. But hey, the day is young.also, shoes wear out.  
Need recommendations on stand mount speakers
Team,So did as much listening and research as I could handle (patience is not my greatest virtue) and I kept being drawn back to the Canton Reference 9.2 dc.  Not well known in the states, but, like my Thiel, they make their own drivers.  I believ... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Smellman,i own the exact Decware unit you speak of and it worked well with my Omen Def MK II’s, though it’s currently not in use.tube rolling greatly affects the sound btw.

Team,thanks for for all of your input. Lots of interesting suggestions, some in my price range some not, but all very interesting. I will not be able to audition most unfortunately, since I am in a black hole of brick and mortar audio stores, so I...

“I've posted more than once about how different ears hear differently. If your ears stick out from your head, you will hear much different from someone with closer to the head ears. This is why there is disagreement among people about what sounds ...

TUBE or SS PATHS
Who says high end audio is only about trying to “faithfully reproduce and amplify the input signal”?i think high end audio is to reproduce a sound that makes you connect with the music to the greatest extent.  There are many roads to there.  
Ceiling fan in listening room?
What you want is a VRF ( variable refrigerant flow) Mitsubishi unit. Itsa cassette unit that mounts on your wall. No ductwork required. Dead silent and the condenser can be located up to 1000 feet away.  
VPI Cuing arm falling too fast
Jeez guys. The problem was solved several posts ago.  
Need advice in Audio Research Classic C-60Amp
Ok. I finished the mini refresh.I biased the tubes and changed out the main caps. One side was 4 mVDC lower, not really out of spec. But I figured I could do better, I flip flopped a tube set from the left side to the right side. This got me 65mVD... 
VPI Cuing arm falling too fast
 What’s interesting is the one I have, which is the silicon, isn’t hydraulic at all in any real sense, it seems like it operates from a stiction standpoint. The thickness of the silicon slows the fall of the piston.  
Phono cartridge suggestions sought
