The day I received my DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers and Raysonic cd-168 tube cd player. I think all this will be superceeded when I take delivery of my Odyssey Stratos stereo Extreme+++amp in about 6-8 weeks

Lucky you. I have been trying for 2 days to get in touch with him as I am interested if there is anything more he can do to this amp. One thing naggine me is that in 1998, I paid $2995.00 for my Classe 15 amp and I am replacing it with an amp that... 
Devore Nines as an upgrade
I have a pair of 8's, having upgraded from Vandersteen 2ce's. I find the DeVore speakers very musical. I listened to the 9 and Silverback at a dealer in the Boston area and the sound on both pairs of speakers were excellent, far exceeding anything... 
HELP SUGGESTIONS FOR A BETTER SOUND
I seriously doubt that changing interconnects or speaker cables (been down that road) will make much of an improvement. At best, the differences will be more subtle than changing your speakers or amp. If there is a chance you can audition the newe... 
Power output of tube amps compared to solid states
I have wondered the same thing as I am looking to replace my 175wpc solid state amp with a tube amp in the 150wpc range. I have been told that tube amps sound a lot more powerful than solid state amps. Why, I don't know.Bob

Old Question, any new responses? Logans and tubes
Last year I bought a Yaquin amp. I had it all of a week and got rid of it. The build quality was junk. Sure, it had a thick face plate, but once you looked inside, the shortcuts were obvious. It didn't sound that great either. Just thought you sho... 
HRT Streamer+
I own the cheaper HRT Music Streamer. I coupled it with a 40.00 Kimber usb cable and a 50.00 MIT AVT interconnect. For 190.00 total cost, the sound is amazing. Granted, it isn't as good as my 2600.00 cd player, but using iTunes and files ripped in... 
Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong
A few years ago, I bought some Monster M1 audio cables off ebay which came from Hong Kong for 15.00 per cable. The local dealer was selling them discounted for 100.00. I bought 4 pairs and they looked like the real deal when I received them. They ... 
Why did I get married?
I solved that problem by having 2 high end systems on 2 different floors of our house. While my living room system is my favorite, for those times when wifey wants to watch tv or read, I retreat to my man cave upstairs where I can listen to my sec... 
From Vandersteen 2CE to Devore Gibbons 8 or Focal
How will I distort the sound of my speakers by adding the sub? The speakers aren't connected to the sub and I am running the sub below 60hz and have the sub volume only set a quarter way up. Also, kindly explain how I could blow my speakers? I hav...
