Need help from Audio Alchemy DDE 3.0 Owners
Thanks Dave! Am I correct to assume that position 1 is the rear pair? 
6922 tube question
Find Newsensor Corp, buy Electro Harmonix Platinum matched 6922s and be done with it. They smoke 90% of the NOS tubes I have owned. 
6922 tube companies, who do you like best?
Tungsrams are the best I have tried, better than Telefunken, Siemens, Amperex, Mullard, etc. For new 6922s Electro Harmonix are nice. 
Burlington, VT - Any interest in starting a club?
Hello, all!Chris Dowling moved to Chicago and gave up the shop for a real job :)A friend of his (with his help) is carrying some of the same lines, along with some new ones - Omega, JMLab and RedRose speakers, Audio Refinement, Thule and Jolida el... 
24/96 DAC + DVD Player - Help
Thanks for the info everybody! I did not expect anything above 44k from CDs, but was surprised to only see 48k on recent DVDs, like Live in Paris from Diana Krall, and All This Time (Sting). It is correct that I was talking about the setup menu wh... 
ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff
Track 2 from Beck's new CD, Paper Tiger. Amazing track that jumps out and smacks you at times! 
Trying to Enter the "HiFi" Bizz
There are many successful speaker companies that use off the shelf parts. It's not necessarily the parts, but how you combine them. And let's not forget the art of crossover design. This guy could get it right, and start the next Merlin. Cut him s... 
Stereo or Home Theater?
Unsound nailed it. If I ever do integrate multichannel with my stereo system, it will strictly be supplemental. My Line 1 has throughputs that should make it easy. I do wish a company would produce a high end multichannel processor and 3 channel a... 
Cowboy Junkie Fans
I have been hooked from their early days. If you don't care for The Trinity Sessions, listen to Lay It Down. An excellent album, it is very different from their first. I do find their most recent album to be lacking inpiration, kind of as though t... 
Sonic Frontiers Line 2 or 1 compared to new SE
I would have to concur that the Sovteks are very good tubes for SF preamps. They are damn neutral. I have settled with 2 Valvos and 4 Sovteks, which improves bass weight a bit. 
Outboard Processor Question?
I am using a Sony ES changer with an Audio Alchemy DDE 3.0 and Sonic Frontiers Line 1 with superb results. Don't buy in to the hype surrounding high priced transports. You are much better off to spend the money elsewhere. 
Best MTV Unplugged?
Seal! Sting, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, STP, and Neil Young.I wish all would be released on CD or DVD. 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
ProAC 1.5, Snell C/V and D, and North Creek Borealis. 
Looking to upgrade from Sololiquy 6.3
ProAc and North Creek both make models that throw a soundstage big enough to walk around in, although I have heard the same about Soliloquy speaks. 
Any great speakers out there?
Drrdiamond was a bit off the mark!
