| Audio Companies with Integrity?? As you are an owner of a fine tube integrated, I am surprised by your post Chuck. Ralph is not a dealer but a designer and company owner.And prior to becoming an Atma-Sphere fan, for 20+ years, I loved the "glowing tubes" of my SETs. Ralph did not... | |

| Power regenerator vs conditioner I now feel very lucky to have scored Shunyata Triton/Thyphon.They retailed for $9K each. Not unlike their current top line unit and top power chord. But the T/T are two full size components. The Triton is plugged into the Thyphon and they work tog... | |
| Townshend Audio Podiums: The Full Review I use SRA platforms for my TT and my preamp. Actually waiting for the preamp platform. But the TT one was an extreme transformation.I admire how many of you are able to describe, in detail, the SQ.I don’t go there and prefer to not “tear apart the... | |
| Speaker Suggestions/Opinions Fritz Carbon are a very natural great speaker. You probably won’t find them used though. Harbeth 30.1 is the next choice. | |
| Looking to buy a power conditioner I feel fortunate to have found a used pair of Shunyata Triton/Thyphons.They transformed my system.Retail was $18K. Got them for $4.5.Anything Shunyata is superb. The most advanced technology.They have a division that makes units for science and me... | |

| Are you troubled by the imaging of a symphony orchestra? In recent years, I have loved to hear the Oregon Symphony. A truly world class organization. Ihave preferred to sit in the first 3-4 rows on the far left. There is the best way to watch the conductor, Carlos Kamar. And the soloists. And feel the v... | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? It seems there is a partial consensus toward CD. And aside music selection and convenience, I am happy to see SQ going to CD.When mentioned “advantages of streaming” it is clear that having access to virtually unlimited music and discovering new i... | |
| Can upgrading your front end make your bad records sound good? Thanks Dover,Actually I should have the preamp in a week or 2. The cartridge will take many more weeks to arrive. There is a major backlog of orders for all Lyra carts. | |
| Can upgrading your front end make your bad records sound good? When SQ increases performances can be more appreciated.Now listening to a very old sounding Billie Holiday. Clearly hearing the phrasing and emotion is thrilling. Big orchestral pieces are still a challenge. But hearing them less congested is cool... |
