Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?
btw, Swampwalker I ALSO love Loreena McKennitt and suppose the similarity of the names is what originally raised my curiosity. 
Folkies, do you know Lori McKenna?
Just running throught the threads, this leads to that that leads to this etc... I FOUND this one and for whatever reason was curious enough to check Lori out on youtube and proceeded to listen to them all, preferring her solo recordings most. I lo... 
Two speakers enter; one speaker leaves.
I'm with you Bigkidz on general principal although I haven't heard any of the above speakers. It is absolute folly to purchase a new speaker without listening, don't do it, do your homework unless you are prepared to start over again if things don... 
new refrence 3a mm de capo
Don't know who the question is directed towards Ryriken but my advice, as it should be, listen for yourself and you decide. This is the only way to get a satisfying answer. I've never heard the TSMXE but have lived with the Merlin VSM-M, an older ... 
new refrence 3a mm de capo
I recently purchased a new pair after a 3 week audition. Am running through a Berning zh270 amp with a Modwright Oppo 95 truthmod and a custom tube switch mode power supply bass booster designed by David Berning to augment the missing octave 5db a... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Good question Jwm, I'll leave that duty to you and please report back with the results!:) Seriously, a good question and maybe one to present to Dan for his opinion? 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
"He is a class act and wonderful to talk to on the phone."Yes he is Jwm, someone you want to do business with. When I purchased the Modded Oppo it also became evident how well his ears work as well as the build quality and engineering put into thi... 
Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution?
I totally agree with Atmasphere on this one and it has been my experience also. This is one of those things that you really have to listen to in a side by side comparison to realize the general truth of it if you can't believe it on face value. It... 
What audio components are heirloom quality?
"My parents never had high end gear, but they left me with a love of music. Music was always in the house. Piano, records, and singing. I still thank them for that."Amen to that Rok2id, me too. 
What audio components are heirloom quality?
Consider a pair of vintage McIntosh or Marantz tube amps, if you can find a nice pair. You really can't go wrong with either. In any case it must be TUBES. Surely no SS amp 20 years or more hence will make the grade. There is just something about ... 
tube amps?
Quicksilver IS a winner. I just heard some of their products quite recently and was very impressed. It is a mystery why there is so little buzz. At the price offerings you should definitely check out this line.

Czarivey you really make some excellent points about the business side of the music biz and how someone could be one of the choosen few based on the criteria you've outlined but wouldn't you agree that for sustainability in this business there has...

You have totally confirmed my suspicions, thanks Schubert for your response. 
Norah Jones
Hi Schubert I like a good argument as well as the next guy but so far your argument is going all over the board and for me at least has entered the area of entertaining, man am I relieved, I hate to get too serious on line. There really is no prob... 
Stillpoints ERS cloth for EMI/RFI
Hi PtssThis is one of those products you have to experiment with, too much and you'll get the results that Geoffkait notes as I too have experienced. I've been using it for about 10 years. It DOES work in making things quieter but you don't want i...
