Interesting reading.http://www.mdnews.com/news/2011_01/rebooting-the-brain-helps-stop 
JMR Offrande Supreme V2 vs GMA Calypso
I own the Supremes, not V2. This is my 3rd set of Offrandes and I am done looking for and searching for what I loved in the first set. They just make music. Wonderful, glorious, beautiful music. I am also using an ayon spirit II integrated and cur... 
Power Cord for $50 or less?
Pangea. I bought these cpl of months ago. They are just wonderful for the money. Buy them and stop looking. I have had cords up to $1,800.00. Currently using AZ Krakatoa and Morrow. The Pangea didn't best them but I am surprised at how close they ... 
Shuguang Treasure tubes....
I have had the kt88s in my ayon spirit for a couple of months now. I aggree with Dave from Thehub. Outstanding tubes. And that is coming from Genelex Gold Lions, another excellent tube. I also have a quad of the new Genelex Gold Lion 12AU7s. They ... 
Why larger gauge speaker wire for low frequencies?
I sold my AZ double barrel garden hoses and now run Morrow audio MA4 which is maybe 24 little 24 to 28 gauge wires. I have better coherence across the frequency range than I ever had with my AZ wires, including bass. As Danlib1 says "it aint all a... 
45 degree placement in squarish room?
My room is not small at 17 x 25 but I have used a diagonal set up for years with excellent results, Far better than any symetrical set up I have ever tried in this room. The speakers are not even close to equidistant from any wall surface. My left... 
Do power cords make an audible difference?
“Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” Albert Einstein. Audible differences in power cords are apparently one of those things that can't be counted, yet they count. I guess that settles it. I ca... 
Jim Salk's Speakers?
On the tangible things, build, craftsmanship and service jim Salk in my experience is beyond reproach. You can literally feel and see the love that Jim puts into building his speakers. Sound is of course more subjective. For whatever reason I coul... 
gold lion 12ax7 , au7
Update:Another 12 hours on the Genelex ECC82s. They have really opened up. Soundstage is wide and deep. Texture, imaging, bloom, microdynamics in spades. Voices and instruments are extremely well seperated and background harmony blends so richly i... 
gold lion 12ax7 , au7
I am breaking in a quad of ECC82s in my ayon spirit. So far they are a little bright on top with a lack of soundstage depth compared to the RCA clear tops that came with the amp. I have around 20-25 hours on them. FWIW I bought a quad of Shuguang ... 
Gallo 3.1 sounds slow and veiled...why?
I can't speak to the Paradigm Active 40's but I had Gallos for several years. One of the last amps I used with mine was a Unico Secondo and it was a great match for these speakers so I don't think it is the amp. In fact I liked it better than any ... 
2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?
Look at JM reynaud. 
Wyred 4 Sound.....Anyone?????
I had the ST1000 for a few months. Wonderful product. Does not sound like SS or tubes. As much as I liked its smoothness and power initially, it couldn't hold my interest in the long run. I think you are going to have to hear one for yourself and ... 
Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus?
I have had tinitus for at least 15 years. As I type this in a quiet office I can hear it loudly in both ears.it is always a little louder in my right ear which also has a little more hearing loss. A cpl of years ago I read an article that stated t... 
Moving up the Reynaud line, opinions please...
I have had 2 different pairs of Offrandes, both were the versions right before the Signature and now they have released the new Supreme. Never heard the twins but I just love the Offrande sound. They can fill a pretty large room mine is 17 x 22 an...
