| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening to Helene Grimaud performing Chopin Piano Sonata 2. The piano recording sounds very good to me, as does the interpretation. | |
| A CD player for....CD’s Denon's 1600 model is very nice. | |
| Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers Swanepoel: well-known philanthropist. | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues There are many DC blockers available, at different price points. PS Audio used to make a popular one, occasionally available used. Audio by Van Alstine, Emotiva, and Isotek all have models. | |

| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp Or one of the Raven integrated. A strong alternative to Rogue and PrimaLuna. | |
| Pure Class A SS vs Tube Amp If that 100dB figure is accurate (manufacturers often inflate it), then I would have thought you could use one or other of the Pass First Watt amps. There are several. Talk to Reno Audio about matching.Also take a look at Sugden, often overlooked. | |
| Harbeth speakers vs Audionote Heard both at Deja Vu a couple of years ago, systems undoubtedly somewhat different. The 40.2's completely blew me away--all I could say was Wow. I liked the Audio Note: I found they had an unequalled purity of timbre, i.e. a particular instrume... | |
