Melody Gardot "The Absence"
I love her first two but this one bores me. 
Wilson Sasha or W/P match with Pass Labs
I wouldn't match Wilson with Pass amps, especially not Sasha's. They are hard to drive and with the XA 100.5s the bass will be loose and boomy.I own Sasha's and had the Pass amps for a while. It's too bad because otherwise they are incredible amps. 
How far can room treatments solve boomy bass?
Lenny,The PARC is not transparent. It sucks the life out of the music. It does do an amazing job on bass, and that alone can make a huge difference to the whole presentation of the music, but it does degrade the sound in the mids and highs.I had a... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Ozzy, I think it's a matter of taste. For example, just about all instruments sound better with some reverb ( or space), but if you add too much, the instruments sound too far away and less intimate. Sometimes this is appropriate, mind you, or at ... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
The effect has already been discussed by an audio engineer in the WhatsBest forums.The effect can also be gained using some pro audio hardware, purchased cheaper thn the QOL.It's basically adding some 'sugar' on top, some thing engineer could have... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
I will reiterate that I found the unit to 'add' to the signal in a very unnatural way. Increasing the amount of reverb on a singer's voice or lead instrument is not true fidelity in my opinion.I'm surprised that so many actually like it.

I posted in another thread about my experience, but in case you haven't seen it, here it is:So I was lucky enough to play around with a QOL in my system and here are my subjective impressions:The build quality looks very good - along the lines of,... 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
So I was lucky enough to play around with a QOL in my system and here are my subjective impressions:The build quality looks very good - along the lines of, say, Pass. It's designed to be flexible - e.g. if you have an integrated amp, you could put... 
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
Very exciting to see a list like Stevecham's and agree with every one of them save the ones you've never heard of.Got some research to do... 
Steve Hackett's The Shrouded Horizon, 2011's best.
I am not impressed with this album at all (everything being subjective of course).However, I do like Live Rails a lot. 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
I decided to try it and will report back soon. 
PAD speaker cable differences
Can somebody describe the differences between the two cables - or even more generally - 3 metal stranded vs solid crystal copper?I have both Proteus Provectus (speaker cable & ICs between source and preamp) and Canorus (preamp->amp) and did... 
40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER
Oooh, didn't know Stephen Wilson was involved; that makes me go from extremely skeptical to a no-brainer purchase right there. 
Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen?
Atma-sphere works wonderfully well. Incredible combination imo. 
Hiss at addition in system LAMM L2
I would like to know this too.
