| have you ever bought stereo without listening first I don't think David Belles ever designed a bad component, and he's been working on the Virtuoso for years (it was originally supposed to have rolled out 2 or 3 years ago), so I can't imagine how you could be disappointed. Because of the delay, th... | |
| Non Analytical Sounding DAC Upgrade- Budget $1,500 or less All the above plus Border Patrol. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados The last movements of 2, 3 and 9 are all clear runners up, but I’m a sucker for the Adagietto in 5.Otherwise: Vaughan Williams, Five Variants of Dives and Lazarus. | |
| Subwoofer Recommendation for Harbeth SHL5+ Surely there are ways of running a main speaker full range and adding a pair of subs.Isn't this what REL actually recommends in this kind of situation? | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains The Panamax isn't really a power conditioner; it's a distributor/surge protector. To get noticeable results, you'd need to stretch outside your budget range, to the Inakustik 3500. | |
| Power Conditioners There are power distributors, surge protectors, and power "conditioners" (of a great variety of technologies). To hear a significant difference, my experience is that you need to invest some fairly substantial $$. | |
| Audio reviews: too many analogies, never simple, but most of all, never clear. Let's talk about incomprehensible analogies. Herb R. is a major offender. Listening to this pair of headphones was like hiking half way up Kathmandu and slipping into a tepid bath of pulped avocados and sriracha. I lost myself in the poignant d... | |
| Opinions on the current market Andreas Capellanus and Hole. Little-known bunch of troubadours who made a few great albums. | |
| System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains Don't listen to naysayers. Salks are great. I happen to prefer the Encore series, but I can't imagine you not being pleased with your choice. | |

| Tuning Collars on speaker cables - concept and any good? Are these available for musical ministers? | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? When the power cord is heavier than the component to which it's attached, you know you've got a problem.Of course, that's why they invented scuba diving weights.The same way Nature equipped up with two ears so we'd be able to wear glasses. | |
| 12 years or 18 years? The basic Glenmorangie is excellent; very good flavor and costing less than most other single malts. You can go up the line from there.I do like a bit of smoke and peat; of the Islay malts Laphroiag is probably the most widely distributed, but th... | |
| Integrated amplifier help Vitus? Aavik? | |
| Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers. Marantz champagne.Honestly, I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't taken the plunge into designer colors, a la Focal Kanta. |
