Review: Bel Canto Design e.One S300 Amplifier
That is one very well written review. It conveys your impressions without all the audiophile jargon too many reviews rely on.I currently own the evo2i and couldn't be happier. If there is a downside it's that my search for a better amp seems to be... 
Need wiring help.
If the sub has speaker in and speaker out terminals then it is ok to connect the sub to the same speaker outputs on the amp that your stereo speakers are connected to. Some people find this better sounding than using a subwoofer input or line leve... 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
Sufjan Stevens' "Come On Feel The Illinoise." Even though I found this late in 2007, There was a two week period where I listened to this cd at least once a day. I haven't done that since my early years.Next was Jane Siberry's "Bound By The Beauty... 
Most helpful audio companies
Let me add another to my previous list; Bel Canto Design. I recently had a question concerning my evo2i and answers came directly from John Stronczer. Always quick too. 
Please recommend amp or integrated for Polk LSI 15
Having no remote was what made me sell the Portal also. Thought I was upgrading with the Classe but was mistaken so I sold it and bought a NAD C-352 as an interim. In all honesty I preferred the warmth of the NAD to the dry lifeless Classe. My sea... 
Please recommend amp or integrated for Polk LSI 15
I owned the LSi-15s about two years ago and agree they are very nice sounding speakers. Much more refined than I expected. During the time I owned them I used two different integrated amps, a Portal Panache, and a Classe CAP-151.Even though the Po... 
Polish for adagios?
I just finished polishing my Silverline Audio SR-11s with Mothers California Gold Carnuba Cleaner Wax and they look wonderful. I am the only person in the house who loves the gloss red finish but man they look as beautiful as they sound. Although ... 
The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find
Given that I now know that the woofers are wired in parallel, it would make sense that it is an 8 Ohm woofer.I'm not a speaker designer but doesn't this mean the internal woofer is operating at the same frequency as the other and not full range? 
I need new music....
How could I forget Sufjan Stevens - Come On Feel the Illinoise." I hate to be one of those people who recommend something over and over but this is cd is exceptional start to finish. 
I need new music....
Listening to Laurie Anderson -- Life On A String right now. This is some fun stuff. The bass on track 6 is shaking my walls.Listen to Greg Brown, Jane Siberry, kd lang, Jeff Buckley. This is not new if new means released in the last year or two bu... 
Shipping damage protocol? Please Help.
Regardless how well the speakers you purchased were packed, the seller owes you a refund immediately. This buying and selling online is not risk free.As a seller I learned very early the importance of proper packing when I sold a very heavy amp wi... 
Beatles Session Musicians Who?
The most interesting trivial fact for me concerns "The End" from Abbey Road. For years I wondered who plays the guitar solo on "The End" as it's obviously three distinct instruments. Paul, George and John, in that order, perform the guitar solos o... 
Beatles Session Musicians Who?
"BEATLESONGS" by William J. Dowlding is a fascinating read if you want to know who played or sang what. This book provides a complete profile of every Beatles song ever written. From the back cover, "Beatlesongs nails down dates, places, participa...

How about Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, I'm going to paint our bedroom tomorrow and this one of their cds will be spinning for sure. Nothin but souped up covers of classic oldies.
