@markalarsen  Wow, just looked that model up (They have so many). Beautiful!   How did you settle on that particular model? Looks like our vinyl rigs Are pretty similar. How does your Vinyl sound?

@clio09    thanks for the information about the tube stock. I am in CANADA so I presume they would still be the 25% tariff slapped on by Canada. Plus, financially, I’m not in a place to order the tubes at the moment. But it’s good to know th...

Love Devore speakers! Also, I  am using RAM’s “ Super low noise”  5751 input tubes for my CJ premiere 12s And they are incredible. Definitely the cleanest signal I have heard from the amplifiers. I also really wanted to try the RAM Super low n...

@markalarsen    Which transporter turntable did you buy? I own a Transrotor Bob S turntable, With an acoustic solid 12 inch arm And a Benz micro ebony L cartridge.   I couldn’t be happier…Truly, my endgame turntable, and a pride of my system...

    I’m done.   I am 61 and spent a very zealous 30 years in the hobby, obsessed as any other audiophile. Life circumstances mean that I can no longer devote funds or more effort to this hobby. But ultimately, the timing is good because I’d ... 
Chesky Audio LC1 bookshelf speakers - a sonic bargain!
I’d take a look at Erin’s Audio Corner’s Review before, assuming these are a bargain and going up to buy them. The measurements seem to match the deficiencies in the sound that Erin noticed.

@zlone      Don’t base your impressions off that one room.   Jeff Joseph is renowned for USUALLY getting great sound at shows even when most other rooms are struggling to sound good.  That’s why his rooms have been popular for something lik...

Don,   I believe Jeff’s description relates essentially to tonality and timber and detail.   I’ve been sort of obsessed with live versus reproduce sound for as long as I can remember.  I used to do live versus reproduced tests of recordings ...

Thanks Don. it was hearing Jeff’s room with the Pearls in Montreal That led me to eventually purchasing my Joseph audio perspective 2 speakers. The Joseph Audio site says; ”Live, unamplified music has unmistakable presence and clarity. Yet, at... 
A life sentence!!!
My CJ Premier 12 tube mono blocks. They’ve been with me for the past 24 years. All sorts of speakers and equipment has come and gone, But these have managed to make every single speaker sing.

I am at Joseph audio fanboy. Did anyone hear Jeff’s room with the pearls?  
Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review
@mitch2  That’s always a concern of mine, But since the Herbies Gliders are generally pretty flat and screwed right up Into the base of the speakers (Thiel 2.7s) They didn’t seem to change the tonality Or at least not to a degree, that bothere... 
Townshend Audio Seismic Podiums Review
Mitch, I was already using Herbie’s fat gliders under my Thiels. I then tried Isoacoustic Gaias, And they provided some nice tightening of the bass, although I wasn’t totally sure about this, slight tonal change. however, it was shortly after ... 
Where was the best reproduced sound you ever heard?
  MBL 101s.   I heard them at shows and dealers, with the most mind blowing experience was a demonstration of the 101s in the home of absolute sound reviewer many years ago. The most startlingly realistic, I’ve ever heard.   I got a good p...
