Keep your fingers crossed! I might be able to make it to Denver. I'm not feeling too chatty so I'll keep this short. The CT scan results were interesting. The chemo is doing a fine job with my stomach and intestines. What is problematic and causin... 
How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon?
If anyone criticizes my time here I just tell them that God does not count the hours a man spends on Audiogon against his allotted time on earth.

On Saturday morning I opened the San Fransico Chronicle to the weather section. Highs for the day, 71° to 92°. LOL. Not mentioned is the bone chilling breeze whenever you are near the bay like we were. Get five miles away and the weather is totall...

We're back. Barb and I enjoyed our San Francisco visit more than I can convey with words. San Francisco is a city of uncommon beauty, vibrant and ALIVE! Thanks to the generosity of Howard (Boa2) we were able to cram way more into the short time we...

We actually were doing a tonearm shootout. We had multiple copper coil UNIverse cartridges and two tables that could accomodate two arms. The only two cartridges we compared were a Lyra Olympos and the UNIverse on identical arms. At least that's h...

This should prove to be a very interesting weekend. Admittedly I always have some trepidation prior to meeting Audiogon friends face to face for the first time. Most of you guys seem so.....cultured in comparrison to me. I'll try very hard to be o... 
Need to re-discover analog - please help
Denis,I'm so thrilled. Keep in mind that everything will just get better as the bits and pieces break in. During this period you will grow accustomed to whatever cleaning and handling procedures you settle on and they will become second nature. Ye... 
battling the pops and clicks
Dsockel makes a very valid point about cleaning records with the exception of the quiet operation of Loricraft machines. Also, newbies often have their price point set too low to enjoy a quieter presentation. Anyone that doesn't believe vinyl play... 
Preamp w/ big sound AND extended frequencies ?
I offer this as a description of MY Syrah. Others may have different experiences. Mine is an older unit without master gain selection and line stage gain switches. The wonderful, and I mean wonderful, phono stage will handle any cartrdige output. ... 
Preamp w/ big sound AND extended frequencies ?
Just a thought here. If you have a need for a phono stage the Supratek Waltersalas mentioned would probably be a no-brainer purchase. IMO, that's the real strength of the Syrah. Keep in mind though that if I had a very high efficiency system I mig...

Another chatty post courtesy of the steroids. About the only parts that are bulking up from this stuff are my fingers and my tongue. Man, I wonder if those body builders and pro athletes that use this stuff talk non-stop? Whoa! And to think what k...
