Best Looking components / your vote please
Shanling CD player is quite cool looking. I always have and always will think Avalons are the bench mark from what other finishes are judged. Most tube amps with exposed tubes are good looking(to me) add a little wood and then you have something r...

What percent of your system cost is for cables?
I was expecting a higher number, I am running about 11% cables, it sure feels like they cost a lot more then that! ~Tim 
Audioweb/ What a bear
I once sold something through audioweb- it was also listed here- and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to mark the ad as sold and have it removed! So I let it run its course and fortunatly I didn't have any sort of explaining to do ;) I...

bad experiences buying on line
Audiogon doesn't like this sort of stuff, let them know(as stated above) if you don't get the product or your money back they will more then likely create a dispute and in the end he could lose his membership- this isn't something to take laid bac...

Is a Tube Amp Capable of High Current?
I have a 6ohm speaker(87dB) and use a 60 watt per channel tube amp with out any issue, and from time to time I like to let it rip. btw I use the 4 ohm taps on the amp- to me it sounds better. ~Tim

CD Player with a Front Row Presentation?
I have heard several set's of them at various shows(model numbers slip my mind- one tends to see a lot in a day and its hard to remember all the details) it is just the way I felt they sounded(among others that I know and trust) it isn't a bad thi...

CD Player with a Front Row Presentation?
If you don't want laid back and you want the sound thrown at you- so to speak- and money is not a concern, get a pair of wilson watt/puppies, they give you 'in the front row if you like it or not sort of sound' which many people don't care for whe...
