| Integrated vs pre/power Of all the items listed above, the Gryphon is the clear winner in my humble opinion.A few years ago, I did an extensive A/B/C/D/ comparison using the predecessor to the Diablo, the Callisto 2200, I believe.I compared it on THIEL 7.2's, PipeDreams ... | |

| Why magic at 80 db? Rsimms,Incredibly interesting thoughts here by you.When I listen, I try to set the volume at what I could imagine Nancy Wilson, Renee Olstead would be singing at, IF they were in my room with me, standing between my speakers.Anything more or less ... | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. Thanks Iso, Leave it to you to actually take heed.When I owned my audio store throughout the '80's and to the mid '90's, I introduced great music to thousands of customers, who'd make lists of my play lists...then purchase...sharing music...what a... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Reading the comments above, I'm reminded and or realizing that Audiogon, undoubtedly has some of the most gentle, tuned in souls in the universe in attendence.It's almost like being in Vegas, showing wares, meeting new people who share the love of... | |
| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? IMHO--this is not really a good comparison--though all are valid--the Vandersteens are better in virtually every area.More neutral, better and more realistic bass response, imaging.But then, again, just my humble opinion.Good listening,Larry | |

Not to mention the entirely FRAUDULENT REVIEW of the XTEME Loudspeakers by DK, later, the LSA10's, (which was NEVER a speaker, never had drivers in it at all until John Tucker and I completed i... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Stereophile probably doesn't like the fact that The Absolute Sound's Harry Pearson did the review, a two part.That is apparently one really great speaker.So how do you like yours Aolprodj?Good listening,Larry | |

| Thiel Model 2 02Pete,I sold many pairs of the original 02 Model THIEL back in 1983/84, and was frankly dismayed when they elected to stop manufacturing them. At $350. for the pair, they were really, really good. Jim Thiel told me that they were going to only of... | |

| What Song Reminds You of Your First Love? Snofun3,"Driving in my car" by NRBQ. A shame they only really remained a local band.I'll tell you this, even though it dates me...Terry Adams, founder of NRBQ, was a good friend in High School.He started into music by playing trumpet, but didn't r... |
