| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room Among brands that are more commonly found out there in stores, definitely try to listen to Vandersteen and Sonus Faber. But just because a brand is stocked by a bunch of stores (B&W, Focal, Paradigm, etc.) don't assume that it's best bang for... | |
| The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" When dealing with Underwood, it’s best first to check out very carefully their return/non-return policy on new goods. This is another area where Underwood is very different from Crutchfield, Music Direct, Audio Advisor, etc. | |
| Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps Budget? Devore and Audio Note come to mind. | |
| Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room You can do a lot better than what the dealer suggested. As per others, the first thing to do is to find two or three brands of speakers that you really like, which may require a bit of travel, but it will be worth it. Once the speakers are set, ... | |
| WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I'm surprised that you find the system a little bright. What kind of room is it in? Size? Windows? Absorbent vs. non-absorbest surfaces? You also don't mention what ICs and SCs you're using. | |

| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo Make an effort! Between Ralph’s refutation of ricevs’s pointless proposed modifications, and the Cook’s Tour of the inside of the amp that he gives in the San Francisco video (posted somewhere above), there’s plenty of technical informatio... | |
| Buckeye amps Nord (UK), Apollon (Austria), Rouge (Italy). ATM in Spain (Valencia) is very interesting, but doesn't manufacture for the US market. https://atm-audio.com/ | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard As far as I am aware, Nordost, Harmonic Tech, and Neotech are the principal manufacturers of "flat" cables with multiple wires. Harmonic Tech already posted above. Silversmith and Goertz make the true ribbon cable. There are probably others... | |
| Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went? Working for me. You just need to go to details first. | |
| Ribbon Cables vs. Standard I think the theory behind something like this: and something like this: is going to be very different. Anyone heard both styles? | |
| Mozart-Clarinet Quintet As far as I can see, Buffet-Crampon and LeBlanc (two of the premier French clarinet makers) have offerings in the field of modern basset clarinets. There are probably others. Every other instrument will have their own group of specialized makers. | |
