| What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films I found Fargo brilliant, seen it a dozen times it always makes me laugh. | |
| JM Labs Altos The Altos can be fabulous but you must make sure you have the proper room for them. The BE tweeter could be bright in a poor dampened room and bass will not be full if attention to traps and absorbtion are not correct. Mezzos cabinet have higher r... | |
| Vandersteen 5A vs Mcintosh XRT28 Xrt28 uses 32 1 inch soft dome tweeters, eardrums will remain intact. ;-) | |
| How to replace bulbs in McIntosh MX130? Mcintosh sells them for a buck each, might be 2.00 now. Some light soldering is needed but pretty easy to change. Do yourself a favour and swap out all the bulbs, the others are sure to follow. | |
| Center & Rears To Match Avalon Indra? Check out Isophon FRC, I heard the Arabbas at the CES along with the Indras and in my opinion both the Indras and Arabbas were my favorites. | |

Bat vk300, older version with 6922, or if you have the scratch then go for an Einstein. If your not limited to an integrated then the sky is the limit wit... | |

| Best sound at RMAF I enjoyed room 509, Amber Wave tube amp and the Intuitive Design speakers. Hard to believe those small 2 way Summits filled the room with such authority, bass was amazing and the speakers just gripped every note. Those Monos sure threw off some he... | |
| Tubes for Cary CD301 Ive tried many 12au7's and found great success in the inexpensive Jan Philips 5814a for 7 to 12 dollars a tube. Lots of air snd detail, a real pleasure in my Jadis. Im sure the PQ Amperex is a nice tube but give the Jan a try before you drop some ... | |
