American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components
Missing Vibraplane, made in the Boston, MA area. 
Review Purist Audio Design Limited Edition Part2
It's been over 2 years since I responded to this thread and had always enjoyed PAD cables but like stringreen I've also moved on. To my tastes now S.I.N. Audio cables and Audiomica Labs suite my system better. More definition, more realistic, more... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Panamera 4 with active air suspension...couldn't be happier! 
What time do you wear?
I wear an MIH (Musée International d'Horlogerie) as a daily wearer. It's an annual calendar with only 9 moving parts. Do a google search, very simple watch but extremely rare and unusual. 
How good is the Lector CD player?
Audiobuzz... I know 6 other Lector owners all without one hiccup! Maybe in the past there was an issue with a unit or two but recently I've heard of not one problem. :-)I enjoyed my Lector, again, it is a musical player but DARK sounding. 
How good is the Lector CD player?
I had the Lector and then bought a Stibbert and Droplet CDP. The Stibbert is in another class altogether, more open and transparent and just plain more musical. The Droplet is not as detailed as the Lector BUT is a more musical player IMO and it's... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
I'll throw-in my 2 cents worth (maybe it's already been said, I didn't read all 135 responses up to this point!). Power cords can make or break a system IMHO. Some cords that come with your components are fine as is (i.e.: Audio Note Japan pre-amp... 
Bluenote Stibbert vs. Electrocompaniet 1-UP
I can't tell you the differences between the Stibbert vs. EC but I can tell you the differences between the Lector 7Ti and new tubed Stibbert. The Lector is a musical player, that's it. It is DARK sounding and a bit slow. The new improved tubed St... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Norm,It's fine we don't agree on everything, we all hear different things and we all have different priorities what we listen for. There are several people who feel the RC duplicator is better than the Cool Copy but there MANY more who feel the CC... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
I can say that the cleaning of the original disc with either cleaner is essential to get the best sound. Also cleaning a blank BLACK CDR before duplicating is also a MUST to get the best possible sound. To not clean a blacn black CDR before copyin... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
To answer some questions and concerns Norm. The way I did things in the past was to clean both the original CD and the Black CDR FIRST. Then I would Nespa the original CD. Now I'd make the copy (either with my previous RC machine but now with the ... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Norm, It's not that I don't think the RC is necessary, I know it's a PITA, but it works, and it works in combination with the Nespa unit. Actually I have ordered a Cool Copy duplicator, have heard from George's beta-testers, this Cool-Copy dup is ... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Stanhifi, there is so much interest in this device we are now 2-3 months in back-orders! (Germany ordered 200 units alone!)Japan can't keep up with demand. 3 shipments are in route to the US, unfortunately these will fill a small part of the curre... 
Floorstanding Speaker Stands - which one?
When I had these speakers I didn't like them with the supplied spikes but used the large ERAUDIO Harmonizers which turned them into a wonderful sounding speaker. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Norm, I'm not saying he hasn’t invested the time and research to find the best drives possible. I am saying that the drives are "standard" drives with NO modifications.When we do the comparison, it will be with at least 2 other audiophiles, one wi...
