Warmest sounding Green Mountain speaker?
Roy is extremely generous with his time.  And should not have to waste it any further with justifying himself or his products against kenjit's claims.Maybe eight years ago I helped out a friend wanting to buy a stereo.  Based on threads on agon, I... 
Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions
There is a great deal on Harbeth P3esr's on Agon right now, with stands, for an excellent price.  I don't think you could go wrong with them. 
Cleaning a scratchy volume control...

best bookshelf speakers for < $2000?

Zerostat near cartridge?

DAC/Preamp with Balanced Outputs $2500 new/used
Yes I did.  The nuprime and benchmark were way better than the nad, which was better than my original wyred4sound dac2. The ps audio perfectwave dac was very close to the benchmark too, but I wasn't getting the best out of the applicable range of ...
