Records of the Year 2003
Rickie Lee Jones - "The Evening of My Best Day". Her finest work since "Flying Cowboys". From beautiful sad ballads to stomping twisted blues. Starkly original - a welcome return to form from an artist who has consistenty chosen to follow her arti... 
vertical tracking angle
Thanks guys. I found the bolt and adjusted the vta last night. I will continue to play with it until I think I have the best sound during playback. It is very difficult to set the vta perfectly, as even with the arm parallel to the record surface,... 
Muse Model Nine vs ?
I had model nine signature generation three that I upgraded to the model 10. It was an improvement in sound -not jawdropping, but audible nonetheless. Better and tighter bass, slightly cleaner high end (although not by much). I am curious to see w... 
Initial GMA Europa impressions and a few questions
Well I can't really comment on break in as mine sounded great right out of the box. Re: stand height - Depends on your listening height. From where you are sitting, you want your ears to be just about at the tweeter or an inch or so below the twee... 
Muse Model 9 Signature vs Model 10
Well, I finally got my levinson 331 amplifier back yesterday (thank you Harmon International). I immediately set it up and voila, back to musical heaven. The amplifier made a huge huge difference in sound. I retract what I said in my previous post... 
Speaker Upgrade?
Get the europas. I think they are cool looking. My wife likes them a lot also. Of course, they replaced a pair of innersound eros (much to her relief!) For sound quality, they are going to be hard to beat. 
Advice: CD player w/volume control around $5K used
Try a muse. The make terrific cd players. Also try a used wadia 850 with a great northern sound statement upgrade.

Green Mountain Sub??
Roy is working on a Mk3 version of his sub - which should be done soon - no specific date. It is a passive sub - you will need a crossover and an amplifier for it. I believe it will be a 12 inch version. I am certain it will be quick and articulat... 
Green Mountain Audio still in business?
More Kudos to Roy - he has spend much time with me on the phone and via email - a true gentlman. I am thrilled he is getting such demand for the europas!! Now Roy, about that subwoofer and active crossover we talked about...... how are those comin...

Muse Model 9 Signature vs Model 10
Well, I just upgraded my model 9 signature 3 to a model 10 for a chunk of change. Unfortunately, my original amplifier is out for repair, so I am unable to yet do a fair comparison. With my substitute amplifier, I would have preferred the 9 signat... 
Best Full Range Speakers For Under $1100 ?
I would strongly recommend a good monitor with limited bass over a full range speaker with mediocre overall performance. Please listen to the green mountain audio europas.
