| Traded the Most ? The pieces that I change most often are cables. Interestingly enough, I think that I have made greater improvements than if had changed amps, speakers etc. | |
| What equipment do you really like? I can't say much on the current electronics(no pun intended), but I really dig the Dunlavy line of speakers. I was lucky enough to hear the SC-1 proto types when the company was just forming and was floored. It is probably the best small speaker t... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Does he have a friend for me- Maria Mckee, Bach Cello suites- Yo Yo Ma, Company from Rickie Lee Jones first album. | |

| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I made a statement that we are doing ourselves a great injustice by supporting companies that have " money is not an obstacle" attitude. The cost of brewing up a true reference system is extraordinary. I'm sorry, but I can't justify spending $50,0... | |
| If you could remaster three cd's... Thanks for the correction on the title, lost my copy of vinyl in the great flood of '93. | |
| components in your system Sorry, forgot to mention my own. I have a Pioneer tuner, model TX-9100, that I can't replace without spending megabucks and only for a small measure of increased performance. My Apogee Duettas are in the same boat, I've found better but can't just... | |
| High on Thier List, But Low on Yours Oops! two points, I really like AR when matched with big Maggies. thats all. | |
| High on Thier List, But Low on Yours Trelja, the only point that I have contention with is the use of lin conditioners. You must take into consideration how well your A/C is regulated by your power company. I am a professional CET and as part of my daily grind, I repair units that ha... | |
| High on Thier List, But Low on Yours I find Cello to lack any kind of musicallity. Things that have offended me, any peice of equipment that uses self threading screws. Any recording that says AAD, youv'e gone analog through the first two chains, why go digital now. As for the rest o... | |
| Favorite Designer Primarily my vote goes for the people at Apogee. We all know how the speakers sound, but they also have a pair on display at a museum. People on the outside of this little world have recognized their brilliance as well. Second vote is for George M... | |
| Snake oil and tweaks that work! No Problem. | |
| If you could remaster three cd's... Rickie Lee Jones- A girl and her Volcano. you can hear the record levels vary so much within a song, you wonder how many beers were consumed by the engineer. The performances on the LP are awesome. All of the moody blues( i group them as one) Andr... | |
| Apogee Stage: Midrange Magic? I still own a pair of Apogee Duettas and there are times when the vocals are just plain scary. You truly feel as if you are there. The Stages are even better! the first time I heard them set up I was floored. The mids are absolutley amazing un the... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Fpeel, I didn't realize I was being tested. I still like krell, I have owned Krell, wish I still did. I sold it to aquire a triamp system that is good, but not what the Krell was. |
