RMAF Etiquette
I agree, it is rude and inconsiderate at minimum. But where do you go these days and not find rude, inconsiderate and disrespectful people? I know that is a blanket assessment and I apologize to those whom take offense. I don't want to turn this i... 
RMAF Etiquette
I have attended each year and I agree. There are certain rooms where they have closed demos and every one is quiet, but then the rooms get crowded and hot. I have determined that it is a place to see and hear the equipment but not make a buying de... 
power cords for Ayre Amps
Ayre has had a working relationship with Cardas. I am not sure if they still do, but I use Cardas with my C5xe and have been very pleased. 
Any comments on the Sony XBR-X930D TV and the LG OLEDB6 TV?
I spoke with a Sony rep at a product viewing stating that Sony is still considering OLED for the consumer market. They have great professional monitors at a very high cost, but hey can't provide the quality they would like at the consumer level an... 
which TV audio out? headphone mini jack or optical, thru adapter to RCA input on amp?
I am not sure if you are referring to a RCA/coax digital in on your "amp" or an analog in. And are you actually going direct to the amp?If so by all means use the headphone out to a RCA splitter adapter as the TV will serve as the pre-amp.  
Any comments on the Sony XBR-X930D TV and the LG OLEDB6 TV?
I just came off of a Elite Plasma as well. I spent a few years looking for a replacement as nothing in the LCD screen whether LED or Flouressant backlighting compares, so be prepared. I researched the OLED as I have be rolling that technology sinc...

Roger Waters, Radio KAOS. The more I listened, the more I heard, the more I appreciated.  
RMAF 2016
I've gone to the show every year since it started. I was speaking to one of the vendors that will be exhibiting this year, and he was telling me that the show will probably be the smallest it's ever been. It sounds like a lot of the usual vendors ... 
Best interconnects used for around $500 +?
Try the usedcable.com lending library. I did years ago and have settled it was a great help in finding the right cable for my system. 
Loreena McKennith, anyone?
I have enjoyed her music for years. Don't own many selections, but do stream on Deezer. Are you familiar with Clannad, i find them very similar. 
2 prong power cable
PS Audio also makes PC cables with removable ground pins. But if you have a 3 prong outlet you can use any 3 prong cable. 
Did Audio Research ever make an LS 17 or LS 17 SE preamp that is all silver
I have to add, that I recently bought Rods demo REF5se and he was very accomadating in obtaining  black faceplate and making sure everything was as I wanted. Having dealt with Rod over the past decades, he is extremely knowledgable and has a goal ... 
Fremer tours Audio Research.
WOW! That is a pretty awesome look at the inside. As one that just bought a REF5se, it gives me a boost in confidence (not that it was needed) in my choice. In my experience in dealing with the people from AR, I must say they are fist class in peo...

Power Cord 20 amp for my Krell FPB 600 Amp.
I recently purchsed a Audio Research Ref 5se and needed a cord as well. I found a really good deal on a demo 20amp Cardas Clear and am very pleased with it. I also had found a demo Clear Beyond but felt it more than I needed for a pre-amp. But for...
