| Here is all my gear. What's the best combo? "...The only advice that I find worthless is the "sell it all" trolls. I just want some friendly advice..."They are not trolls, they are suggesting to sell what you have and move up the ladder in one big step. It’s good advice. If it was me, I’d s... | |
| Help with a system for a friend He needs to find a loudspeaker he likes first. Go do some listening. I could pick one for him but I'm an advanced audiophile and my selection would probably not be to most people's liking. | |

| Here is all my gear. What's the best combo? I run my Magnepan .7s with a Prima Luna integrated and I can tell you it’s not the very best marriage. I like listening to it but it’s a big notch down from other pairings. Stereophile magazine agrees with me. | |

| Full circle and thinking about speakers "...Maggies do a lot of things right. But anybody who says they do dynamics has never really heard a speaker that truly does do dynamics well..."I generally agree but he did say he had 20s. With some big amps, those panels can pound pretty well.... | |

| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? I have to give the opposite opinion on Bob Dylan. Sometime in the early 90s I think. His last show after a big world wide tour. It was awesome. First half acoustic and the second half electric. He played "All along the Watch Tower" in Hendrix's st... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound "...unamplified acoustic performances remain the standard for judging how close our systems get to the sound of live. As I’m sure you know that was the basis for the term “the absolute sound”..."Indeed I do but that is about .01% of the type of mu... | |
