My wife passed yesterday
Deepest condolences...my sister died of sudden stroke about three months ago. I was listening to music at the time of the call. The difficulty in realizing the loss persists, but I must say...music has helped me greatly find distraction.

Looking for Amp suggestions or Avalon speakers
Bo1972...it appears that the word Avalon causes a trigger response in you. Previous threads regarding Avalon speakers have brought about your redundant criticism of the speaker's unrealistic, bloated presentation...even when the subject of perform...

High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
Ozzy, I have heard the Hidiamond in two systems...both that have previously had HFC CT-1E's. I find the HD's to be excellent cables. Very musical, open and detailed. I have not had the opportunity to hear the Ultimate's, but the Enhanced were also... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

Led Zep Reissue on vinyl
I listened to side 1 of Zep II this evening. Enjoyed it a great deal. The slam and impact from the drums and bass lines were forceful and well delineated. I found clarity of guitar and Plant's voice the best of any of my lp copies. And, not to ove...

To Cat sl1 owners: which tube amp?
I am unfamiliar with the Totem speaker, but you may consider auditioning the CAT JL-5. Purported to have Convergent's latest technology in a smaller and less expensive amp. 
Walker turntable owners, want a GREAT cheap tweak?
