Need feedback on loudspeakers
Drove about 3 hours to a dealer who carries Sonus, Focal and B&W besides a few others. He did not have the Olympica II, so I ended up listening Olympica III with Devialet 200 and BlueSound Vault. Cabling was probably Nordost Valhalla or one le... 
Rumors of GamuT going out of business?
infection,You need to tone it down. He was just trying to make a point, why original owners sometime remain with the company after it is sold. And where is a rule on audiogon that indicates you cannot resurrect old threads? At least respect age a...

Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning
Erik,Thanks for letting me know. Actually I do have a laser level. But I want a laser distance measure to be more precise with the positioning. 
Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning
I am thinking of getting one myself, though my measurements are done with tape and strings. Any specific brand, besides Bosch with 1/16 th inch precision that you guys found on Amazon? 
Sopra No.2 Overpriced?
reference999,Thanks for the inputs. Yes, some reviewers have acknowledged that the T3 has more bass than Sopra 2, but the Sopra's bass was mentioned as "tighter". I recently heard the Focal 1008 Electra and was mesmerized by the midrange and treb...

What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
ghosthouse,I do not own any LP. Though I have, in the past, listened to LPs, I never actually wanted to own them because of the cost and the maintenance of the gear associated with them. I would rather spend time to listen to music, especially wit... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Hi ghosthouse,I agree. It is a very nice album. Still kind of "growing" on me. In fact, 2 years back I collected most of Steely Dan albums. I like their music. I do not own a single LP, so I have to admit that I have not done any comparison betwee...

The most transparent speaker cable
You should give a serious audition to ClearDay loudspeaker cables. Listening to Roxy Music Avalon currently on my system and they are so musical. Compare them with other recommendations in "your own system" and then decide. Key is - you should dec... 
Best interconnects used for around $500 +?
I have had excellent results with ClearDay single ended interconnects. These are all silvers, but are very neutral and musical to say the least. Besides Paul from ClearDay will send you one to test in your system, without any credit card. Just rea...
