Thanks! Keep forgetting aboit that site. 
Help a new guy get started
I, for one of several, will stand by the Peachteee Nova/Decco. I heard the Nova on a pair of Monitor Audio RS6 floorstanders a pair of AAD 2001 monitors, and a pair of Monitor Audio GS10s which I currently own. That little integrated never failed ... 
Which DAC works best for PS3 and is it posible
Macallan... View my virtual system for information on my PS3 setup. I do run a 2-channel setup out to a Cary Xciter DAC. It is impressive. Impressive enough that I started to venture off to other little tweaks versus upgrading speakers and compone... 
DIY Reference Audio Rack
Ebony, as you described your liking is going to cost you over a grand for the lumber in the size you'll need. 2" thick is really pushing it too. I lucked out and managed a 1-3/4" thick Zebrawood shelf. It measure 15" x 20". That alone cost $180. B... 
Speaker positioning on dedicated room
PS... that room setup is nice, simple and works. I'd stick with it. 
Speaker positioning on dedicated room
What floor is this room on? Though it might be easier to route the cables straight along to the first speaker and then over to the second from there, you'll have well over 16 ft in cable length by then. I'd say cut diagonally from the rack straigh... 
What makes strings sound "sweet"?
Of course woods and varnish have a role as with the overall size of the instrument as well. Horsehair bow vs. synthetic. Type of rosin used, ivory frog vs. plastic/bone frog, type of wood in the bow, etc..etc. The player is probably one of the mor... 
Burson Integrated amps
I'll look into it. Thanks!

Did you ever get that PI-160? I was just looking over the new HA-160D and I'm thinking of getting it. It'd make a nice compliment to the PI-160 if I were to get it as well. Sounds like a great piece of gear. I'd really like to get something with X... 
The Hub: Numbers unclear, but strongest RMAF yet!
I'll be there if I'm not on deployment. Guess I better put in for leave now! Got dates yet? hehe 
What makes strings sound "sweet"?
There is one thing no one mentioned. That is the type of violin and strings used in that recording. That will have a significant effect on what you here (obviously). The recording is part of it, yes, but I can tell you you'll run screaming if I pl... 
B&W 603s gone; I'm lost down the rabbit hole
You can get Monitor Audio GS10s for around $700-800 now. Mine have done me great justice and have nailed every kind of music I could throw at them (nine inch nails was a little taxing but they survived). However, I mostly listen to acoutic guitar ... 
For crying out loud
Is this something inherent in the circuit topology? Is this something that could be avoided but it was easier to design the PCB with the display in-line with other circuits so they added, yet, another switch that is a sound killer to turn off the ... 
What if you designed your ultimate speaker?
I agree with C1ferrari. :-)I heard a set of B&W 800D Sigs several months ago. Problem I heard was I could here the crossover point distinctly from driver to driver. It was terrible and thought it was poorly executed. I don't want to hear sever... 
koss portapro vs grado iphones
Here's a link for you to a dealer I go to. Shoot him an email or call him. It's pretty much his specialty and he won't steer you wrong. And no, **I DO NOT WORK FOR HIM**. He has done some demos for me at his place and I've made some purchases. Ver...
