Shunyata Denali 6000/S v2 and Typhon T2 Review
Dumb question. Why two PC's? Also, what impact did the new power cord make? Thanks.  
Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed?
I'm just here to say that I'm still thrilled with my Rivals. A buddy came over with the 12" 45 rpm of "For Those About to Rock" and the Rivals may have cracked the foundation. :)  And the mids! The screaming mids! And the lows - the highs were the... 
Volti does it again!

Volti does it again!
Greg wanted me to point out that the link to his website with the new model is not a completed page and it is still under construction (and they do not cost $7,500).  
Volti does it again!
I live outside Tampa and was at the show on Sat. I thought the ($11,750) Lucera’s sounded fantasic also. Really, really good and in my top 3 small rooms that I heard on Saturday. Amazing for being in a hotel room with no treatement. I had two hi... 
VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class.
Just an update to mine which is that I'm now completely satisfied with this upgrade which was a 10" JWM uni to a 10" Fatboy gimbal.  All the textrure and midrange "grittiness" is there now. I guess phono cable burn in is real?!? Whatever happened... 
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
Greg owns Volti.  My wife left the building for a few hours yesterday so I was able to turn it up and still amazed at how good my system sounds. Sure there are a few things here-and-there to work on but those are upstream from the speakers (and p... 
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
Sounds good - my guess is you can hear most anything you want.... Yes, I bought the American Speaker Cables (TWL) for my prior speakers, Sapphire M3s so I haven't used any others to compare. I had originally planned on putting them (well, the M3... 
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
I've had mine for almost exactly 1 year and they are my end game. PM me if you want to hear them when you are in town. There are a few of us going back to my place on Sat late afternoon after we are at the show.  Mine sit on Townshend Podiums whi... 
Volti Audio owners, is the fire still there?
100% yes to the fire still there. My Rivals bring me many, many SPH (smiles per hour), with a few LOL's thrown in there. I'm running a PrimaLuna Evo 300i with KT-150s and a mix of RadioTechniques and Brimars up front. Phonostage is a Modwright 9.... 
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
My list of Not-So-Obvious: Mad Season: Above - orignal US Columbia pressing -much better than MOV and 2016 (?) reissues. Tool Fear Inoculum - 5 LP - Drums are insane Another vote for the Mofi Garcia/Grisman Framton Comes Alive - Monarch Talki... 
Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs
@czarivey , great list. I just ordered Northern Exposure off Discogs for a relatively decent price.  John D is my favorite DJ and has been since I started listening to him in 1999. I have their original Communicate on vinyl and almost every track ... 
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
I'm 54 yo and am sure my Volti Rivals are my end game speakers. When I went to my first hifi show in Tampa 11 mos ago, the only very few speakers I liked as much cost 3x + as much (besides the Rivals Greg was playing of course - which did sound gr... 
VPI Fatboys versus others in its' tonearm weight class.
I finally ordered and installed /setup a 10" gimbal FB for my Prime Signature from the JMW 10" 3D Unipivot. I did a quick and easy setup so still have to fine-tune but is about 99% there (I know that 1% can be huge). Inital thoughts are as follow...

Another Volti:  Rivals. May add subs someday but I'm convinced these are it for me.
