| Devore Fidelity vs Devore Fidelity I would check with John Devore and give him the serial# of your speaker. He would be able to tell you if your speakers have been already updated or if there are upgrades available. He would also tell you what in the sound will change. I met Joh... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. On the much lighter side, I read about some guy on the internet that had 40 or so girlfriends over the years and he collected.........wait for it.........their toenail clippings. Pretty perverted if you ask me but I did want to share. | |
| Will upgrading Umbilical cord power supply to preamp improve sonics You could talk with Chris at VH Audio. He will probably have some good suggestions and can probably build you a high quality cable for less than others charge. | |
| Furutech vs Audioquest Power Cables I use Shunyata power cords on all my equipment except for my Esoteric player where I use An Acrolink cord. I thought ( I could be very wrong) that T and A makes power cords? If they do, why not try one of theirs? | |

| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? All my systems since 1992 featured a tube preamp with a solid state amp. To me it just sounds right. | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age I would gave gone all in on McIntosh instead of wasting thousands upon thousands of dollars constantly upgrading. While McIntosh is not for everyone, to me it is the Holy Grail of electronics. | |
| Favorite Lyricists? Roger Waters. | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. Regarding 6 Moons, if the manufacturer does not advertise on their site, then the manufacturer has to pay 6 Moons for a review of said equipment. I find that to be very distasteful and do not trust that site for that reason. I also don’t want 5 ... | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable The Groneberg cables were purchased with a Odyssey Kismet stereo amp and Odyssey Kismet Reference speakers which I ran for about 5 years. Both the amp and speakers were internally wired with that cable and that is why I purchased the same cables f... |
