Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Sean- would you be willing to loan it out to a snot noised young punk like myself :) I'd enjoy testing my ac power and finding a possible better way of doing it. Thanks! 
Where do tubes come from?
I was always told if you have to ask you'll never know, for what ever that's worth. :) 
Be careful what you wish for ...an upgrade that...
Marakanetz is right I used a number of different amps on my old avalon's and the more clean power I threw at them the better they performed. Jeff Rowland amps and Accuphase are said to mate up very well with avalons as well, if rowland has an inte... 
Dunlavy's and spikes
Most all speakers benefit from spikes, I prefer Apex and audiopoints "spikes". I have spent some time with SC-IV's and they sounded much more precise(larger soundstage) with more defined bass on cones. Its really simple to install cones, all you d... 
Calling Thiel owners please...
Pops- Are the speakers tipsy or are you, after all bourbon has the same effect on me :^) I'd blame that Booker's fellow who keeps finding its way into my room when I listen! Though this Laphroaig guy keeps showing up as well, the system always see...

Amplifier for Kharma CRM 3.2F
Tenor would be my first choice. Manley amps work well with kharma's as well. What ever you decide enjoy it, you have great speakers! 
How does power cord affect a digital frontend?
From my experiences, power cords effect digital the most! They need clean, refined power and current isn't as important as it is with amps(and other high current components). Even a basic power cord designed to work on digital will get rid of some...

I listen to mostly classical, followed by folk, followed by a little jazz, rock and techno/electronic. My rule of thumb on buying a system is find the gear you like the best in your price range and enjoy the music! You can not put a price tag on a... 
ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better?
¡Hecho en Mexicó! 
ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better?
Audio999- So where are your bose speakers made?? :^) j/k 
Calling Thiel owners please...
I agree with Warren, but they make special spikes for Thiels, I think I would just use them instead of a platform. It would be nearly as good sonically and a fraction of the price. Here's a link to the audiopoints web site that has a picture of th... 
Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........
I am a Sinatra fan, one of my favorites is The summit live in Concert. It may not be the best recording or the best songs, but both are good, and the three of those guys(Frank, Dean and Sammy) are so entertaining! When I listen to that disc, I fee... 
EMM Labs DAC6
Brad you are right, EMM labs is Ed Meitner's company, I believe EMM are his initials.
