Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like?
I will have golden ears by then. By sound I will be able to tell when flea thinks. Within the surrounding galaxies I will be able to identify 40 types of conversations from interstellar occupants at one time. On earth I will be able to hear twelve... 
Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like?
I think that well heeled individuals will have robots that play music and sing. However that will cause you to wish you had the pasts 'perfect sound forever'. Music will have more rocket and space ship sounds. I think one song that will top the ch... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
You are all right. I recently read about someone who has a few different systems because they do different things. I feel most all our quality equipment today can be made to sound exceptional. So what ever speaker we get it can be made to sound gr... 
Words From the Wise
Those are some of the wisest words in this hobby of ours from Rdiirio and Cerrot. Thanks. 
What was your first 'hi-end' system?
1977- Tannoy Cheviots, Technics sl 1700, Ortofon m20 super E, Yamaha cr 1020, and the most expensive lamp cord I could buy. Very musical, simple and fun as all get out. 
Sexiest Speakers
I don't know about you guys but when somebody thinks a speaker is sexy I think they have a little to many of a certain hormone. I hope this stops at speakers. If not I am sure it will go to talking about sexy vacuums, dogs and phones. Boring! 
What do you void listening?
most country, rap, and techno. Rap sounds like somebody is very unhappy with a broom stick you know where, techno gives me a headache, and country starts to make me depressed. I should put them all in a blender and see what comes out. That might b...

seeking compatible amp/ CJ pv10, Vienna Acoustic
I also own those speakers. I agree with the posts. The Vienna Mozart Grand really benefits from reasonably high current(doubling its power from 8ohms to 4ohms) ss amp power and a good power cord to control the speaker. I use a Belles Reference 150... 
Jazz for aficionados
I have really enjoyed the commentary. Enjoyed the musical suggestions. May it continue. 
Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones?
No Wolf. I think they sound good to you because of those bungee cords you connect everything with. And maybe you aren't completely insane it could be cabin fever with all that cold weather. Keep your chin up. 
Has education expanded your listening tastes?
Before my experience in England I had heard Handels Water Music many times but never really enjoyed it. It was to frilly for me. However when I was in London and went into a record store and asked what local music he would recommend(those are my s... 
Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones?
I hope Atmasphere is right. The man over a Vintage Tube Services in Mich. told me it is an human craft. Like Ebm says. You da man Ebm. Anyway he told me the extent they went to to produce good ones. And that to bring new tubes to the level of the ...
