Looking for phono stage recommendations
I do think that the X-Ono is one of the best units available, but it is not the best. Since it can be bought used for around $3000, I would have say, at that price it is a steal! It is very quiet, dynamic, fast, and versitile.I think I have a pret...

I talked to Pat this morning. He's been feeling poorly the last few days. The upside is, it may be due to an allergy to the pain meds. If they can get the right meds, and Pat can get comfortable and rest, he may feel much better.

Pat, I love to see your name pop up here! It sure brought a smile to my face. What we wouldn't give to help you carry the load you bear right now, but some journeys are taken alone.I was really taken by the name 'Spirit' for your new puppy althoug... 
Why not just unplug it?
I'll buy a copy of Amused to Death from anyone that can find it! It is simply impossible where I live. $275 on the net is starting to look reasonable - wow I never thought I'd say that! 
Why not just unplug it?
Or maybe it was just the acid you dropped before listening!?!

A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
That was pretty brave of Mr Fremer to weigh in like that since most industry people who speak up here are savaged by the AudiogoNers who know so much more.I have said for years that it is unwise to question the integrity of reviewers simply becaus...

I got off the phone with Pat not too long ago. I was crying as we said 'goodbye,' I hope, not for the last time. Pat said it in his post, but he is winding down, or as he said 'free falling.' It still brings tears to my eyes, just to write it.At t... 
Manly Steelhead - any downside??
Downunder, check with Vetterone when he gets home. He has been using the Steelhead for a while, and with some tube upgrades he is quite taken with it. Even more so than some well regarded and more expensive units.FWIW I'm planning to sell my Klyne...

Pat and I have discussed his hope and faith a number of times. Lest people fear that this thread is going to become some kind of sermon, that was Pats fear. He did not want it to become one. He is sharing the thing which causes him the greatest co...

I'm really glad to hear about you getting that fluid out! That must have incredibly increased your comfort level. While I understand that you are probably never very comfortable, any improvement is good!I hope you plan to review the show for us to... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
I don't mind if people don't like Wilson speakers, but I wonder how many of the people who bash them have heard them in their own room??? People who make claims about, or denegrate a product based on how they sounded in a SHOWroom or at RMAF or CE...

Pat, I sure hope you can get out to enjoy some good live music this weekend. You remain, as always, in my prayers.Warren, how about those Star Sound/Systrum racks??? 
ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan
gmorris please forgive my error. I meant to write Teres/Schroeder/Zyx combination. The purpose of these comments is clear, and has been stated plainly a number of times already. It is simply impossible to determine that the Zyx cartridge is the ON... 
How often should you re-calibrate your ears?
While I generally enjoy live music, I don't believe that what a person hears at a PAC or small club usually sounds very good. Concerts are fun because a person gets to sit in the room while a favorite musician interprets favorite tunes. It is the ...
