Audio Kharma website
I'm perplexed as to why so many posters would spend time exerting so much negative energy towards Audio Karma. Why is this so important that its worth your time to post the negative?My primary experience with AK was when I was researching McIntosh... 
Vienna Acoutics New Bach Grand for $1200
It's worth it. For me, it was love (or maybe ear) at first site with the Viennas. I also started out wanting to buy the Bachs. But listened to my friends, dealers,etc. and decided to give the Mozarts a try. Been about 4 years since with no regrets. 
Is audio a kind of spiritual journey?
Tonywinsc:Your boat comment put a smile on my face. I have friends in the boat business. I have a buddy whose family owns a Chris Craft boat repair business. I remember one of his hobbies was restoring an ol' Chris Craft.I think he was the first o... 
EAR 834p Tube Upgrade/Replacement
My dealer, who is also the local EAR service center, and a gentleman that mods the 834P, both highly recommend JJ88's. I think. I can double check if you're serious. When I was considering purchasing the JJ's I found out that my EAR already had th... 
Is audio a kind of spiritual journey?
I would say that for me it has been. I'd also say that it didn't start out that way. Initially, I just wanted to create a home entertainment system for the lowest price. Initially.Eventually, my perspective changed and assembling the system and ex... 
Any Alice Cooper fans?
A fan up to about the Billion Dollar Babies album. Then my interest fell off. My 2 all time favorites are Love it to Death and Killer. But have some of the other stuff, including "School's Out" which came with a pair of panties enclosed.

Packaging Services
If you don't mind packaging them yourself, here is a link within another thread wherein the seller did just that. I'd have to say it's the best packaging job that I ever saw. Also, within the same thread the buyer confirmed receipt and that all wa... 
REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel
REL was one of the brands that I liked at for my Vienna Acoustics speakers. At the time they were also carried by Sumiko and were considered a good match for the Vienna's. However, I ended up going with a JL Audio f112 and have been quite pleased ... 
Mcintosh integrated Vs amp
Glenfihi:...Part of the fun of having a system is having what you actually want and not just what you could settle for. Good hunting...__________I learned that early on in this hobby and, IMHO, it is sage advice. 
Would you trust a local dealer to help you put
Absolutely. I've used dealers to assemble my system with no regrets. And I'm happy to say that I have developed long-term relationships with them.But go to more than one. Obtain their input, evaluate their input, then decide if you want to move fo... 
Best Methods For Removing Dust From Drivers...?
Can't say whether it is the best method, but I sometimes use a "Purdy" brand paint brush. A new or unused one that is. The bristles are soft enough to give me a comfort level that there will be no damage when dusting but also firm enough to remove... 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
Interesting question. Unfortunately, for me it has probably been years since I listened to CD's daily. Way back in the good ol' days probably.Just don't seem to have the time these days for daily listening. And when I do have free time there are o...
