HDtrack not necessarily better?
A lot of HDTracks titles are just upconverted 44.1 sources according to discussions on Steve Hoffman forums, you have to careful. 
Saw Steely Dan
I was disappointed when I saw them (last year?) because of Fagen's voice. I am still going again this year so hopefully I can get past that. 
Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches
They sound incredible with Atma-Sphere amps. 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer
I just tried my Fozgometer for the first time. I have a Dynavector XV-1s which is low output so I hooked up the outputs from my phono stage (Tron Seven) intead.The meter correctly identifies left and right signals but doesn't show any movement on ... 
Spectron MIII mk II owner's question.
Any of you have problems with buzz/hum from your Spectrons? 
Placing footers under Joule LA150 MKii
I'm interested in this since I have Pubul57's LA-150SE. I use rollerblocks but haven't tried anything else. 
Rives PARC parametric equalizer
I use the PARC and it's the best component in my system.I find it very transparent and agree with Lenny_zwik that it can open up the soundstage. Getting the bass right has a lot of benefits. 
Revel Salon2 vs Wilson Sasha
At this point I will probably stay with the Sashas. I know have them in a different room (wider with higher ceilings) and they sound quite different (very very good). 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
So capacitance is the main parameter to consider for longer runs (where the lower the better)? 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
I spiked my speakers the other night to see what I was missing. I first tried it with the lowest setting but it produced way too much bass. Wilson provides spacers for this type of situation and so my next attempt was with both spacers (equaling t... 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Dan,Thanks for responding. Along with trying the PAD speaker cable I have a friend's MIT Oracle 2.2's and the bass *is* faster than the PADs. It is also a bit more open sounding, but I love the PAD's midrange. 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Nsgarch: my system page isn't up to date (and the Atma-sphere amps in the photo were borrowed at the time).I'm not currently using my Lamm M1.2 Ref amps nor the BAT REX. In trying to clean up glare from my Sashas I found I got less distortion from... 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Al, thank you for the advice. I thought the thing Mogami had going for it was low capacitance. As you mentioned, it doesn't seem easy to find the capacitance of the PAD.At the moment I'm not using the REX, I'm using my Joule LA-150 SE preamp. It h... 
Skipping on last track consistently
Thanks for the help, all. 
Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions?
Crap, upgrading 5/5A's means he's probably not working on Vandy 6's.
