Ozzy is in the ? you guessed it! 'The Land of Oz" 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
+1 Hifisoundguy and Veroman. I think there pacifiers fell out of their mouths. 
Sloped baffle
I have a little experience with owning Thiel 1.2's. I think they were suppose to be phase and time coherent. At home I have never heard a speaker do most things as well as them. It seemed to me the musical cloth was all from one piece. No disconti... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
My amp seemed to continue to sound better up to 1.5yrs from new. I used it about 15hrs a week. I am not sure why but here is a theory. The better amps eventually align all the molecules and atoms and other things all the way back to the power plan... 
Top brand speakers
Your posts have pretty funny on this thread Onhwy61. Beam me up to the Nth dimension. Where do I sign up! 
what amp under a grand?
Grannyring's recommendation is a real good one. 
Musical, high powered Amp under $1k
Belles 150 any iteration, any McCormack, Sumo Polaris or Andromeda. All those are great amps and where the principle of diminishing returns on dollars spent starts to kick in with more expensive amps. My opinion only though.

I probably don't tweak like Stewie, but do feel like him in that I find it is easier to tune and balance your system just right with separates. I also think with separates it is easier to bring your system up a notch or two or three, if and when e...

Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC
Good Point George and I think that would make the Lightspeed Attenuation a very good aprox. 450.00 option. That is the one I would chose if I had his equipment. 
Beware purepower inc
I don't care, but I hope that EBM keeps it up. He puts a smile on my face. Hang ten dude. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Thanks Grannyring. I think I will stay put. It is tempting to change stuff because it is so easy. But I hate breakin on things. And I don't want to go in the wrong direction. I appreciate the input a lot. Thanks again

Hey GrannyringI have some vienna accoustic mozart grands which I believe you have also. One thing I think they are noted for is a little richer presentation. Could you tell me with your experience replacing xover caps and resistors in other speake... 
Pre-Amp for Class D Amp
Hey Goldprintaudio. I have an cary spl 88. I have the stock eh tubes and I also got sylvania gta's. The eh sounds a little boomy in the bass otherwise ok and the sylvania a little bright/hard in the treble. Would you have a suggestion on which way...

Good point Schubert. That's kind funny and kinda not funny(sad).
