Ref75se @skids congrats! I also think you're in for a dramatic change. | |

Ref75se I haven't been able to bring myself to sell my '75SE. It's been in storage for a little over a year (since I got my '160S) but it's such a sweet little amp that I've become emotionally attached. Can't go wrong. | |
Flux HiFI Electronic Stylus Cleaner I've been using the Flux Hifi stylus cleaner for about 3 years. It's the best stylus cleaner I've come across to date. | |
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me My phone has a volume setting, which I will occasionally use. | |
Solving the "complex music problem"? I agree with erik, the room can be a major contributor to incoherence in a system. The best electronics can only take you so far if your room is the limiting factor. @ahuvia what are the dimensions of your room and what equipment are you using?... | |

I love my analysis plus but... Glanced at a few of his other videos, it's a shame how many people he is misleading. Good example of knowing just enough to be dangerous. I do really like seeing how high performance cables are constructed, but I gave up after he said they are u... | |
TMR: What is the Best Amplification for Magnepan Speakers? What an odd comparison. Two modern solid state amps and a 17 year old tube amp. | |
For Vandersteen owners & lovers: Which other brands do you like? I run my Vandersteens with Audio Research and AudioQuest cables with great results. Moving from the 2CE Sig 3 to the Treo CT is a huge leap. Probably bigger than you realize. I'm sure you would be absolutely thrilled with the Treo CT. That car... | |
Solid state to tube Quicksilver and Will Vincent are both class acts. I have dealt with both Mike and Will personally and find them to be respectable, upstanding guys. Great value for quality equipment. | |
Aurender N20 I agree. The N20 is one of the best streamers I have ever heard. | |
Tube preamp options @markmuse Selling the 6SE so soon? Did you find something you like better? |
