Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report
I've been eyeing Salks since I heard them here last year when they auditioned the Song 3 with ribbon tweeter. Wish they had brought a set this year, may have pulled the trigger. I asked Jim to think about putting the Encore midrange in the Beat ca... 
Does It have to be loud?
When I'm tired I generally listen at lower volume. When I want to "live the music" then I turn up until I find the "sweet or bloom spot"..........where the music comes out of the speakers and forms a sound stage. Every system has a sweet spot. You... 
The ups and downs of tube vs. SS...
I've been a pro musician for over 40 years. Played many tube & solid state amps and own both types of stereos. I've learned that everyone hears things a little different. One person thinks their gears sounds the best the other person says, hmm... 
Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ???
Bought 3 Supra 2.5 LoRad power cables for my Conrad J. Was trying to save some money over the expensive cables. They cost me around $80-$90 each. My local audio expert got me a Straightwire Blue Thunder $180 each but the detail was well worth doub... 
Owners of a Conrad-Johnson MF-2550se Power Amp - Please post your thoughts
Bought mine a year ago (not the SE model). I use CJ Classic 2 pre amp. Very happy with the 2550. The depth of the lower mids & bass are intoxicating! When I want to enjoy CJ tube I switch over to a Classic 60SE - another thing of beauty!  
conrad johnson preamps
Actually I looked for used CJ tube amps & pre amps for months and found very few for sale. Finally struck a deal with Spearit Sound for new CJ gear.

KEF 104/2 rebuild
Bob - any update on your 104 makeover? I have 2 pair. I sent all the speakers from pair one back to KEF to be checked & repaired if necessary.....they sound great. Didn't touch the crossovers. I recently bought a second pair which had had the ... 
Best produced rock albums.........
Is it me or does Good Vibrations have poor editing.....seems like there are some abrupt splices of parts?   
Best produced rock albums.........
Chicago Transit Authority! & Chicago II - only a master could bring all those instruments into a beautiful soundscape - everything is perfectly place. Although I love the Black Crows I find an annoying amount of treble and a lack of sweet mids... 
Best produced rock albums.........
dgarretson - I've heard about 1/2 of those recordings...............I'll have to check out the other half! BTW - Gyns book was quite an interesting read......especially his recounting his time on the road with the Stones. Thank you, cheers.
