| AXPONA anyone? I had a great time and was actually pretty impressed with the sound of most rooms, given the challenging circumstances. I had hoped to compare high efficiency speakers and was somewhat disappointed in the lack of participation by some of the bette... | |
| Another audio dealer closes his shop My apologies to the exceptions but, in general, I have so little sympathy for audio dealers that I just couldnÂt care less. In my experience, this industry attracts too many hustlers who see a potential for huge unearned profits, and have categor... | |
| Valve amplifier choice I kind of like Macintosh for you. Living in a rural Tasmania, Im going to suggest that equipment maintenance and reliability with a company that has a solid track record should be a priority in your decision. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne "I would urge you to reconsider participating in arguments like these.Bryon and Tom, I suspect that were all on exactly the same page here, but I think its worth expanding on your points. IMO, it can be beneficial to everyone when a manufacture... | |
| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? "I know I need to demo some of both, but...No buts; thats the answer. | |

| Ocellia vs Tannoy? Jjbraham, I havent heard any speaker using PHY drivers myself but would like to very much. In retrospect, I probably shouldnt have made that comment about PHY speakers without the qualification that the people, who I know, who didnt like them,... | |

| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? Im pretty sure that I recall some speaker manufactures recommending ZNFB amplifiers for their speakers. I always took it for granted that there was a scientifically based rationale for this. Could these be instances where NFB vs. ZNFB isnt a tot... | |
| AXPONA anyone? WouldnÂt miss it. Great location choice. LotÂs to do in and near Rosemont, while only about 20 minutes to Rush Street...Woo-woo! | |
| Sound staging; Sepertaes Vs. Integrated Agree with Robsker.Unless youre comparing the same circuit design - the only differences being those necessary to to expand/condense between one and two or three chassis - the comparison is unfair. My current integrated amplifier throws a more co... | |
| First favorite tune Mario Lanza - "Drink, Drink, Drink"I was but a wee little shaver the first time I heard the ÂStudent PrinceÂsoundtrack. IÂd get my sisters to play this song over and over again.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6d9HQZCDvI | |
| Speaker finish? "I listened to them at my dealer's home (a single wide mobile home).Gadzooks! | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Mapman, You didnt state the reason behind your post so I dont know if your question is simply academic or youre actually shopping for a low maintenance amp. If youre shopping, another relevant question relating to durability is - how hard is t... |
