Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all?
Alot of this is over my head but since I've had my Decware 1.5s, ALL other traditional speakers (as suggested in the opening and 2nd by songwriter) just sound wrong (plain awful?), no matter how they've done the crossovers. My Decwares aren't perf... 
Driver replacement China
Its not just the drivers. Alot of hi end makes use off the shelf, Chinese sourced circuit boards, CD drives and other components and have been doing so for many years. I've read where Korsun is OEM for alot of Mark Levenson and Krell has used comm... 
Review: Consonance CD-120 Linear CD Player
No, I haven't. I have to admit that the CD-120 was the first CDP that got my interest but I couldn't afford it at the time. Either way, I'm glad I waited. 
Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers?
I heard the Druids at the VTV show in Arcadia and I have to agree with the first comment. I was not in the least impressed. Maybe they were not fully broken in but.... 
Best HDMI Cable for Video
Try bettercables.com. Got mine for $80. They are the reference cable for Perfect Vison and other reviewers. Great picture from my Sony DVP-NS90V to my Sony 30' WEGA. 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
Unity audio. They have been gone for some time now but I'm told they're coming back as the owner is through with his government work and will get back to making great speakers again. I had the pleasure of listening to an entry level pair driven by... 
Best HDMI Cable for Video
I got mine from 'bettercables.com'. for about $80. They are the cable of choice for Perfect Vision and other reviewers. They are bigger than usual, gas impregnated and have larger terminations. They work great on my set. 
Review: Consonance CD-120 Linear CD Player
Philbrady:Thanks for your kind words. I didn't realize how much goes into a review until now. It's harder than it reads. I tend to ramble and go off on tangents trying to convey my thoughts while staying on topic. I couldn't have said it better th... 
Review: Consonance CD-120 Linear CD Player
Mechans:How lucky you are to live so close. I agree that Opera/Consonance hasn't received the recognition they deserve. On 'enjoythemusic.com' there is a review on the Consonance Cyber 211 tube monblock (retails for $4995) that the author states i... 
Where are you from this Christmas..
Merry Christmas from Valley Village (10 mi. north of Los Angeles). Peace to all, everyone, everywhere. 
Can anyone comment on the new Music Hall CD 25.2?
There's a review at eqoustics.com on the CD25.5. While there is similarity between the Music Hall, Onix, Usher and Shandling (look at inside picutres and you'll see they are not exactly alike), the CD25.5 is a step up. The reviewer wasn't exactly ... 
Review: Grungebuster CD Mat Herbie's Audio Lab Tweak
I've been using the Grungebuster 2 for a couple of months now and agree that it is the cat's meow of tweaks. It's even great for DVDs.

Mapleshade Silclear
I've had Silclear on my tube pins for over 10 months now with no adverse affects at all. No muddiness, nothing. I put it on very sparingly. The same goes for all connections including the plugs. My tubes still have the same increase in the glow fa...
