Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
Sean, thanks for the technical appraisal of zobel networks, I didn't follow all of it but I understand the basic principal of operation and why they are needed. This is of interest to me since I just ordered a pair of Goertz MI3 Biwires, and thoug... 
Review: Rogue Audio Zeus Tube amp
Thanks for the great review. I'm surprised that you moved away from the Innersound amp, since I would have thought that was tough to beat with the Eros.I'm on the lookout for a good tube amp to replace a Krell on my Maggie 3.6's so I'll check out ... 
Design Criteria For External Crossover Box
Thanks Tim, I did the fuse bypass mod on the weekend and also shorted out the tweeter attenuators, the results were excellent, the sound is more dynamic, but at the same time more fluid and effortless.I just ordered Cardas binding posts to replace... 
Where do I go from here, keep it clean
First, let me qualify my upcoming statements by saying that I’ve ruined more people conceptions of what constitutes a good system than I care to remember. Meanwhile I make progress with my own system unabated.Here is what I would do:Allocate a bud...

Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
Sean, assuming that a cable meets a reasonable level of design integrity, is it your opinion that the process of evaluating the different designs (sonic evaluation) becomes random and unpredictable?Would you agree that design integrity could be of... 
Tell us compliments received on your system...
A couple of friends visited our place for the first time about a month back, and after dinner, both of them got up without saying anything and started dancing in the middle of the living room!...OK, they were pretty loaded on booze, but what the h... 
Tube Amp for Magnepan 3.6 - Rogue Zeus/VTL-MB450
Aroc, I can't add anything new to this thread, only to reinforce what has already been said, particularly Tireguy's comments relating to high powered amps and specifically their capacity to deliver current.I learned the hard way with my 3.6's, bei... 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
Hotsauce, I took your advice and yes it looks easy to bypass the tweeter attenuator link on the 3.6. The 3.6 uses push on spade connectors, so I'm going to try and find some brass ring connectors to replace them. I couldn't believe how cheap the w... 
Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker
Thanks for the input, it's great to hear other peoples experiences with Maggie's, and thanks for the various emails that I received regarding the post.John, I'm envious that you are using Wolcotts, I've heard others say that this is an exceptional... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
This post reminds me of the popular sitcom 'Father Ted', where 3 Catholic priests share a parish on Craggy Island. One of them (Father Jack) is a hardened alcoholic who has been known to drink brake fluid, floor polish and cough medicine, basicall... 
Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's
What size is your room?...if you are looking for a speaker that can recreate the illusion of 100 people on a stage, then you need a room that can support that illusion. If you have a 12' wide typical listening room, with the speakers 7' apart, you...

What other obsessions do you have?

How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon?
I figure about four 15 minute visits each day. But according to St. Augustine, time is "an illusionary product of our mind" - so actually, it may be longer, or it may be less…. And since someone else (Berlioz I think?) stated "Time is a great teac...
