Any Living Voice OBX-R2 recommendations?
Gary,If you change cables, let us know. 
Allman Brothers Fillmore East on Vinyl
Jaybo… you speakith the truth brother. The words audiophile and Fillmore don't belong in the same sentence. I try not to ask too much of my rock albums... just not too much compression and some thickness in the midbass and I'm usually happy. I was... 
HDMI what to buy?
I agree with Chadnliz and Zog except for when it comes to shielding. The back side of an AV system can get pretty busy with cables so I feel like if I go too cheap on AV cables then I may get some unwanted noise. 
Pet audiophile peeves - name yours
1. nuff said2. what is your lowest price3. 10 ratings on used itemsbtw. I like Bill. I've bought from him and will buy from him again. He is refreshingly honest and calls out bs when he sees it. I also find him rude but he's from New York. It's li... 
Any Living Voice OBX-R2 recommendations?
A rare combination of clarity and musicality. Hard to describe but they are simultaneously forgiving and at the same time able to convey alot of intimate detail. I have and reccomend the IBX's because I didn't want to mess with extra speaker wire ... 
Allman Brothers Fillmore East on Vinyl
I can't help you with your lp selection but I have to disagree with Mechans. I bought the redbook reissue a couple of years ago called "The Fillmore Concerts" and it sounds fantastic with lots of air and good bass. I don't know if it is "audiophil... 
Isolation platform for the power amps
What's the differance betwean "while the music is playing" and "during music playback"? 
HDMI what to buy?
I really like my HDMI cable from ramelectronics.net.I have never AB'd them with other cables but I like my picture. They have quality connectors and a stout cable that looks and feels well shielded. I think they run around $35. 
Pleasant Surprises
Maple cutting boards from TJ Max (1 1/2 inches thick) for $9.00. 
Stolen SoundLabs - just in case...
Sorry to hear about your misfortune. You may already know this, but, you can put in a custom search in ebay and you will get an email everytime a Soundlab speaker is put up for sale.

You are describing my Shindo Monbrison. 
Shindo and synergistic components
Anyone know the price of the Shindo modified SPU? It would be cool if you could put this cartridge on a resonable priced arm and table (say sub $4,000 all in) which would have similar sonic qualities of the Shindo Garrard 301. Anyone try to build ... 
Shindo and synergistic components
Streetdaddy... I'll email you directly to further discuss my room problems.Hatari... We're getting back the point I made earlier about the speaker/amp package. The fact that Verity goes to shows with 200 watt solid state mono amps should be an ind... 
Shindo and synergistic components
You may want to put the Dodd 120 on your list. I have never heard it but alot of Eggleston owners like this amp. Like the Verity's, Eggleston's are very revealing and I think they have a more difficult load. Just a thought.Oh, the problems of the ... 
Shindo and synergistic components
Nice speakers. Have you considered Nagra?
