The power company made it out today and although they couldn't find a voltage problem they installed a data recorder and said they'd be back in a few days. They agreed that the transformer was very old and possibly undersized as well. He said they... 
Von Schweikert Dealers in Houston, TX?
Jack from Esoteric in Houston is a good guy. I demoed my DB99's at his house and bought them from him that same day. It was a nice and comfortable setting and totally low pressure. Mostly we listened to music rather than talk gear and he's been ve... 
Electrical issue
Nsgarch,It's actually a 300W Class A/B solid state amp. If it was only the sub amp then the midrange and tweeter shouldn't be effected according to Kevin at VSA. We'll see...Matt

Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc.
Have any of you Teres owners done a/b comparisons with Galibier or Redpoint? I'm curious as to what your impressions may have been. I think it's intersting that they evolved out of a common approach and ended in significantly different material ch...

$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
