Agear- I don't think Bill meant it like that. I was kidding with him afterwards. We all make mistakes about gear names and tech. I'm not perfect and I appreciate being corrected. Hell, I'm married 20 years- I don't think I've been right in at leas...

Lol. You are correct sir. I stand embarrassed and corrected. :PWhat's a letter amongst friends. I think CMOS chips are what they used to use for digital cameras. Heh

Thanks Guido. Maybe Fraulein Muzik would be most appropriate. Hehe. Apparently the guys at Vapor are preferential to the Antipodes and ran it with the Golden Gate at Axpona along with their monster Perfect Storm speakers. I know Steve from Empiric...

All Tidal speakers are rear ported and won't integrate well into my room. Same for the larger Boenicke. The upcoming W13 looks great, but it's got a huge rear port. I've tried about a dozen rear port speakers and they just don't work in my room. B...

Agear - What is the Golden Gate's best input? Does it use the CMOS chip for USB? I think many agree that one of the big Lampy drawbacks was its less then stellar usb input performance. Has that been corrected with the GG or is an Empirical Audio O...

Thanks for the list Wisnon. I have the Boenicke W8SE+ in my house right now. They are excellent, but not in the same league as the more expensive speakers I am looking at. I want something truly full range. The Rethm, Albedo, Klanwork and Heil are...

Actually guys, about 95% of my listening is digital. Very little is vinyl. I love it and it's special to me, but Its just not as convenient as my computer and my Iphone. Sorry to disappoint. I looked at Trenner. Their reference speaker requires 4 ...

Hi George. Thanks , that was great. I am actually considering the new msb V series. Looks very intriguing. I'm working an audition hopefully later this summer. I'll report when I can.

Yes. I got my Regen last week. No, I haven't tried it yet. Been crazy at work and have been practically obsessing about picking out my speaker. I've had a crazy amount of speakers going through the room and seam to be narrowing it down nicely. My ...

Josh - a short list is not easy. Tech changes so quickly it's hard to make a list of what to try. Wisnon is obviously pretty happy with the performance of the Lampizator Golden Gate (although I think he has a Lampy 7). CTSooner and I are very happ...

Any opinions on Rockna digital gear? DAC and music server?

Josh - it's all worth a try as the opportunity offers itself. Who knows. Maybe it affects things. If I get the opportunity, I'll let you know. I think my wife has a wool rug in a bedroom.

Jh901- I have several still points in my system. I found they make the biggest improvement below the amps and the speakers. I have been advised by several that the Magico Qpods work wonders under pre-amp and source gear.

Hi Guido. Glad to see your still following my slow decent into madness. Polyester and glue I believe. Seams to work pretty well now that's it's not infesting the entire floor. I have the "Wings" diffusers coming in shortly and that should be the l...
