| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. The thread starter/OP uses a Magico M5, that was $90K in 2009. Does a speaker at that level need a big lump of salt to sound good? It appears the speaker is far from being optimized(room /location) | |
| Weakest link in my system The only thing I see there is trying to optimize speaker/room(damping/diffusion) and using the "best" recording of music available. After that, it's just spending money on audiophool extravagance-not that there's anything wrong with that. . ... | |

| Pending shipping questions. "6 figure amplifiers" WOW! If I could afford that, I would have sprung for overnight/Express shipping. Probably days away from arriving. Happy listening. | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? Some just know what they're listening for, and if it's not there, they move on.

| TAD KT88 Redbase Valve's Are you aware of losing the EL34 mid/highs that the KT88 will not have? The KT88 might be more dynamic/have more bass, but the EL34 magic will be gone-not in a bad way, just different. KT77 will have more bass but retain the EL34 mids/highs. L... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? "Oh, and old school disco is back! Who doesn't love the Shuggie Otis "Strawberry Letter #23" as covered by the Bros Johnson? :)" EPIC cover of SL#23 whart- it was the fabulous outfits that made the Brothers Johnson way hip! I pull that alb... | |
| SOTA STAR Sapphire Turntable Care and Feeding " It should be ready in January" Great way to start the New Year. Enjoy it! When the bug bites, you can always find a really nice used arm(when you're ready to try a "better" cart) in the listings. | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? "Killer" by Alice Cooper" Push it out a couple more years-"Billion Dollar Babies" 1973 had all the usual suspects release more great work. | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything "I have the big panels" ?? andrewkelley-Your ML's unquestionably are very good. I prefer the technology over conventional boxes. I use an older generation of ML's to good effect with a pair of REL's as well. But to compare them to the Soundlab... | |
