Johnny Winter
Johnny was simply one of a kind. I had the pleasure of seeing him play in close-up outdoor venues twice in his later years, and although he was weak in body (he always played seated), his hands and mind for playing were as brilliant as ever. If th... 
Why are so many owners trying to sell Scansonic?
Why are so many people asking why so many people are selling so many components of different brands? As long as you haven't read anything about the piece in question being poorly designed or unreliable, what does it matter what other people choose... 
Killer combo--RTS couplers plus Sistrums platforms
I went to their website, and there is no mention of them. Are they discontinued? 
Some Musical Truths
Hi Al, It's 6:30 AM and I just got up. I saw your post, went to Amazon, and ordered a copy. They can be pricey, but I ordered a lightly used copy for about $18.00. I'm looking forward to listening to it. Thanks! John 
Some Musical Truths
Al,Yes, I also wondered if the OP's choices were meant to be serious, humorous or a mixture of both. I agree with you and Nonoise that what we experience when listening to music is at times too transcendent for verbal description. Al, because I re...

Correction, it was Bojack who called the OP's comments garbage. Jaxwired said that self delusion is a powerful thing. I think envy is as well.

1extreme,As I noted before, the member who made the comment about garbage, Jaxwired, and the member who agreed, Bojack, disappeared rom this thread after their initial attack, apparently unsupported by fact or experience. 
Hegel H80 vs H160
I agree. I think it's impossible to draw reliable conclusions on anything when two different systems and two different rooms are being used. Would the dealer let you borrow it for a day or two? 
Ground 'box' what's in them?
All very confusing. Jea48, you obviously know what you are talking about, I just wish that I did, and how it relates to these boxes.

Wolf,Damping and draining are 2 different things, and Sorbothane isn't draining to ground as Starsound and some other products do. You may like it, and that is the only thing that matters, but the two technologies work in different ways, and they ...

No one is attacking him, we're just relaying our own experiences. 
RBH Speakers ???
Thanks Shakey. As soon as I read what Hifisoundguy had written, I did a double-take, and thought "Isn't that the guy who praised the 901's for so long?"Maybe he will explain his change of heart for us.
