Downward firing speaker port and domestic issues
I lived in  a condo and my neighbors routinely called the popo. You might consider quality headphones for when neighbors are home  
IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them?
Not even 24 hours since firing my system back up, it is sounding way better then I recall from the last time the EVS was center stage, and I bragged about it back then. No doubt better cables and the solid maple table top has helped bring out the ... 
Audiolab 6000CDT
I have owned some really good $3-5,000 players, IMO, the majority of people buying the CDT don’t usually have the budget for a quality dac and cables, but a quality coax and PC transformed my 6000 into a very high value performer; of course the am... 
Recommend a good tube power amp in the 100 wpc range for under $4k
+1 to the guys who know you don't need much power for mid/tweeters. Definitely check out Underwood HiFi's LSA tube amp. Great reviews and a great price  
IcePower1200AS: Who has heard or has them, with what system components? Do you love them?
My EVS 1200 has been on the sidelines ever since getting my LSA Voyager GaN amp. Ive been interested in replacing my vertical audio rack, and came across a 2' x 5' x 2" solid maple table top!, so I broke the system down 2 days ago. The room looks ...

Open Baffle Experience
Eric, click on my UN then click on picture to see my OB Emerald Physics 3.4s. You will notice 4 tall black tubes, 2 by the speakers and 2 on each side of my soon to be replaced vertical rack with a horizontal 2" thick solid Maple table. The 2 by t...

Is it worth upgrading a CD player?
Absolutely! Check out the Project DS 2, a player with a coax output, meaning it can be used as a transport, too Many + reviews. Here's one:    
Nobosound Springs
Instead of buying a bunch of shoes, I  try inexpensive iso/vib devices. I have 4 sets that I will sell for $15/set 4 + shipping  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
I have a pair of Emerald Physics 3.4s OB, 12" concentric woofer with 1" polyester tweeter, outboard XOs, floor standing. The line is no longer made. The 3.4s MSRP was ~ $4500, but Ive seen them go for < $1000. Highly recommended

Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s
I had 2+2s for a couple years with the interfaces with Medallion transformers. Over time I acquired their servo amps, which sounded amazing, but in those days (1996) the amps were very unstable. There is a guy in Florida I think, who repairs/rebui...
