best threads out there?
I'd take a Zegna over an armani any day, but I'll take a Jack Victor over either in the blink of an eye. And shoes, its gotta be prada, they may take a year plus to really break in properly but once your there, you've got a pair of shoes for life.... 
best recording of Diana Krall ?
I believe I have all of her redbook CD's, and I listen to "Live in Paris"(no not the Rick Salomon version :) most frequently. I tend to really enjoy live recordings and am not a HUGE fan of Diana Krall, I do enjoy her music and appreciate her skil... 
Best equip stands
Nreddy- I here they are really good, I've heard them in systems and enjoyed the sound- however they take a while to get and seem somewhat expensive for what you get. I know there are DIY versions available(probably from Jon Risch over at AA) that ... 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Brucegel- Which LAGQ album are you referring too? Guitar Legands or Latin? I must admit I was very let down with the sonics of Latin and haven't bothered trying Guitar Legends. What equipment was used during production is interesting but- IMO- oft... 
Anybody blow a ceramic woofer with an OTL amp?
Springbok10- Don't worry about the driver replacement it really is very easy to do. If you have little to no experience soldering ask a friend to help you, if you can't find that practice on some scrap wire until you get the hang of it. Have a fri...

I hate to sound so obtuse but I agree with Labtec, in part. From my experience any time you move a component or unplug it, it will take a few days to settle in again(perhaps capicaters discharging, and need time to fully charge again?), but much p...

Howie- As I understand it the issue is not power handling but distortion/amp cliping which causes the driver failure.

Cinematic_systems- The drivers used are not stock accuton drivers, kharma modifies them in house. So your right its not expensive but it can be time consuming and difficult to find the right replacement driver. 
Review: Audiomod Modified: EMM Labs Phillips SACD 1000 Transport
Divo- The mods are done to the Phillips, to the best of my knowledge NO one will touch any Emm labs equipment- though in time anything is possible.

Hifimaniac- That's not true about the sistrum stands(as I understand there "theory") they do not isolate perfectly, in fact they do not isolate at all. They couple, or so they claim that's how they work. My intention is not to have this become yet...

I am a machina dynamica fan, there stands just make sense. There are no whistles, bells, snake oil or foolish claims; just facts. And they are affordable, which makes it even better! I have heard the neaunce(sp?)/ mana combo and while it seemed go... 
What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?
I think I may have some form of audiophile OCD, nothing is older then 8 months now. 
Anybody else bothered by $8call.00
I ignore those ads, its a waste of time to view them- IMO 
In search for Roger Sanders
Nice to see you around these parts again Angela! Sad news about innersound, I heard about this a week or so ago and was hoping all was ok. Things have a funny way of working out one way or another; though you know that all too well. Don't be a str...
