| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @ritter06 Congrats on the WWP. It's a great speaker and entry point in their line. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @ckr1969 That's an amazing skill to be able to know how a component sounds and separate it from the others based on past experiences with components in different systems. You must have incredible hearing and Echoic memory. | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy @ckr1969 Just curious how you know it was the speakers you didn't like vs the amp, room, source, etc.? | |
| What Speaker Cables Taught Me About Audiophiles @devinplombier +1. Very much agree with your observation. My favorite quote describing meetings "never have so many argued over so little for so long" . It may be human nature. Tree vs Forest thing? | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @northman Well stated. However, I will suggest that all music venues or performances are not created equal. There are times when I prefer listening to my own system than the "real" thing. If the live performance is amplified and I have less than ... | |
| ??? What Is The MOST Expensive System You Ever Heard ??? What Was Your Opinion ??? Have not heard very many expensive systems beyond the ones I own. The very best was at a dealer in Atlanta.

| Solid State Preamp to replace tube unit I sold my VAC Sig and now use the MSB Referece DAC as my pre. Very happy with the move. I also went from an Aesthetix Rhea phono pre to the Pass XP-27. I loved the Rhea but hated feeding it tubes and fighting hum. The Pass sounds as good if not... | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 lacking some bass I used to own Alexia 1's until moving up to Alexx V. I tried adding subs to the Alexia's and it did not do much. Ultimately I think speaker position is key. | |
| Ken Fritz's $1M Dream System update Does anybody really believe a Washington Post Article? To me that’s the amazing story here. | |
| DarTzeel’s new direction I almost quit Audiogon because of the "rich" bashing. When in high school I mowed yards and had a paper route. I got my first Dynaco Kit with the proceeds (I/2 of my income went to a college fund) that I soldered together and made speakers. At ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Kind of Blue is not a well recorded album. The music is, however, beyond reproach. Perhaps my favorite jazz album. My recommendation is Boss Tenor by Gene Ammons. As to vinyl vs digital; I have a very high end system with both. The key is the q... |
