Fee for home audition
Imagine going to Gelson's deli and asking for a taste and the person behind the counter says, "There's a 5% fee for tasting." If that doesn't make sense, then doing the same for a home demo shouldn't either. All the best, Nonoise  
New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee
Heaven forbid...someone uses bleached filters? Might as well drink Folgers.  
Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers
I've never had a speaker that sounds as good off axis as on axis with these speakers. I can be in the kitchen (which adjoins the living space in my apartment) and they sound almost as good. Because of the low amount of toe in, my sweet spot is the...

@jcoehler Thanks for those wonderful shots of your set up. I have to admit I’m a bit jealous.😃 The Atalante 5 were the first speaker I was thinking of getting but my room is too small to accommodate them, which is why I gave up on my JBL 4319 moni... 
Speaker recommendations wanted for Quicksilver M135 amplifiers
If you want to keep with something like your Triangle monitors, I recommend you take a look at the Revival Audio Atalante 3 monitors. They also have a new line out (just recently) so maybe the Sprint 4 as well. They're a relatively new company fou...

@mrdecibel , Yes indeed, that is what I mean. I've always leaned towards very informative speakers that had that leading edge but it was always at the expense of body and soul. These speakers give up nothing in being informative but they don't hit... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

New Class D amplifiers
Just came across this new review of the Technics SU-G700M2 from The Absolute Sound on YouTube: It's nice to have this deep dive into the inner workings of this amp. He even goes so far as to say it's a taste of the Ultra High End for a tent...

New Outlets Lead to Better Sounding and Tasting Coffee
Just yesterday morning my Barista downtown was telling me that when she was in Guatemala the ladies would grind the coffee beans by hand.  They crush the beans with rollers and depending on the purpose of the beans the fineness of the grind would...

Great to hear from you. I experienced the same thing with my JBL 4319 speakers. Had them on their low riser stands for four years and tried them up on some stools and that was a game changer. Like you said: more coherent, more info, and more  focu... 
Musical?
@rel  I must be getting old as I missed the date of this thread. And yes, I do miss jaybo now that you mention it. Funny how some just pass by the wayside without fanfare but when brought up, remind us of better times. All the best, Nonoise  
Musical?
jaybo +1 Those who can't deal with the term need to loosen up a bit as sometimes it's exactly what you mean to say. All the best, Nonoise

Well done, Eric. I, however, have gotten lazier and after years of grinding my own beans, I have the brewer do it for me in a two pound bag. I've found that at my rate of one cup of coffee a day, it doesn't matter if I grind to beans to preserve f...

Congrats on being a dealer. I hope you enjoy the success that Tone Imports is experiencing. They can't keep them in stock. All the best, Nonoise
