Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs
So you're in Indy? I live in Brownsburg. Howdy neighbor! 
Set-Up Advice for Vandersteen 1Cs
Are they the black pair on ebay last week? I bought a pair a while ago for $265 with free shipping. Was the only bidder, felt like that was a bargain. As for the tube amp in your price range, you'll probably need to look at some of the Chinese mad... 
Audio Refinement Complete 'a' Integrated preouts
Just make sure the outputs are "pre" outs and not "tape" outs. Pre outs are variable with the volume control while the tape outputs are line outs set at full volume. I'm doing the same thing now with a Cairn integrated amp. It has two sets of "pre... 
Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs
So you weren't asking a question of morality. Although, I think it's a much more interesting question, never mind my rely. 
Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs
"Should" they? I'm guessing you're asking a moral question here. we can all have an opinion on the morality of $10k speakers wires but none of them matter. In our capitalist world the marketplace determines what gets reviewed, bought and sold. Mor... 
Dared sl-2000 preamplifier SET preamp tips tp
What don't you understand? Audioman58I don't understand why you would go to the trouble of posting such elaborate opinions in such a poorly written fashion. You seem to have quite a bit to say about the SL2000. It's a shame you don't spend as much... 
Dared sl-2000 preamplifier SET preamp tips tp
I have a pair of the VP20s and am considering this pre to mate with them. That's why I read the thread, or should say tried to read the thread.But I have no idea what you wrote above. Do you ever go back and read what you write before posting? You... 
Revel or Aerial
That is one tough choice. As you're talking about buying new, it makes no sense to purchase without listening to both speakers. I owned a pair of Revel M20s a few years ago, man those are some wonderful little speakers, and now own a pair of Aeria... 
To all that worked in audio salons.
Never worked in one but I remember sales guys always pulling out Audio Alchemy, whoever the hell that is. I would ask, "got any real music?" 
"Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne
Just ordered it. I love tribute albums and have been listening to JB since Saturate Before Using came out. Thanks for the tip. 
A True convert is born
Interesting but the Amazon ad says 3.5 watts. How did you get the 7 watts? 
Proac 3.8 / amp match
When asked what was the best sounding system I have ever heard I recall a pair of Proac 3.8s driven by a pair of Cary tubed monoblocs. Unfortunately for this thread, I can't remember the model number but I think it was Rocket 88. The source was a ... 
Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp
Along with the Vincent you should look at the Unison Research Unico SE. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
03-30-14: AudiofunTimrhu; I hear you and I am not in disagreement with you, however, :) I think you may be taking a different route than the meaning behind this post. I think we are more concerned with a great deal of digital devices NOT being abl... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Digital v analog, blah blah blah....this thread has been alive for years.You can get the "soul of the music" on a stock FM radio in a Ford Focus at 65 mph if the attitude is right. Case in point; years ago I was driving on I70 north of Dayton, Ohi...
