Best Live Album Ever...
What gives, no Frampton Comes Alive!? 
Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs?
Piano Cera loudspeaker by Tidal Audio. 
Retail?
I'm with Sebrof and Theo on this one. The only relevant retail price is the current one. Everyone here assumes that retail prices only increase over time. I have seen retail prices of imported gear decline (sometimes significantly) when a change i... 
Raidho C1.1
EBM, much better than the Magico Q1, don't you agree? 
Raidho C1.1
It is my understanding that Raidho Acoustics previously had two high end product lines which were labeled Eben and Ayra, with the latter (Ayra) aimed at ultimate performance. Not sure if Eben was trickle down performance from Ayra or Ayra was a ho... 
Accuphase E-460 vs Luxman 509u vs Moon 700i
Moon 700i is still in production and is Simaudio's top integrated, yes?

Tbg, have you considered getting your Tidals updated with the black graphite drivers to reflect current production?

Zekezebra, I share your enthusiasm for the AE brand, but in the interest of fairness it is my understanding that the Super Tablette was the second generation Tablette design and came out around 1985. I should know as I have a set of Super EBT's (E...

Avalon modified drivers vs. Accuton originals
Unfortunately I think you better pony up and go with the Avalon sourced pair. In addition to pair matching, there are other modifications that Avalon does in house that are part and parcel to the crossover design. Now if you can find out exactly w... 
Great Organists in Rock
Tony Kaye of Yes. In fact one of the reasons he left the band was his unwillingness to experiment with new keyboard technologies. 
Magico Room at RAMF How good did it sound
Ebm, finally your sense of humor is showing! For a long time I thought you were simply a Magico cheerleader. 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I have the latest generation Elrod Silver Statement speaker cables and power cords. I don't find them to be dark at all. If they sound dark in the system look elsewhere as they are tonally the most neutral and transparent products (in their catego... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
I have had the same experience with the 1050 which I bought in February. I would be inclined to think that a dedicated line would not make a difference.
