What's your favorite Patricia Barber album?
I must be the only one. Anyone have A DISTORTION OF LOVE. Antilles label. Great recording. Summertime, My Girl, just two of the cuts. Album done back in 1991. Anyone heard this baby? Put it on your list. peace, warren 
What's your favorite Patricia Barber album?
I've got all her stuff, as well. You won't go wrong with any one of 'em. Nice recordings. I find her voice to be pretty weak and fatiguing. Still enjoy her music, though. peace, warren 
Julian Hirsch dies
Julian Hirsch. My AR 4x speakers, Garrad turntable and Sony integrated amp taking over for my Lafayette receiver- Thanks Julian. And Stereo Review, of course. I haven't read him in years. But there was a time: he be da man. My man. 
Plinius or YBA?
Why would a thread with a direct comparison matter to you? Your ears are the deal. If you know the guy selling both: check each one out. I own the Passion. I'm not going to say that the Plinius can't go 1 round with the Passion. I'm not saying the... 
Stands make a huge difference with ProAc
Audiopoints/Starsound Technologies has a money back guarentee. 30 days to see if I'm crazy or dead on. After the 30 days you can post your thank you. True, my stands are twice the price, so they may be a bit steep for some. They are well worth it,... 
Stands make a huge difference with ProAc
I don't know anything about Target stands. I cringe when I hear the word sand filled stands. A big no no when you're (like I am) into resonance transferrence. I'd bet anything that those Proacs (as good as they sound on the Targets) would sound ev... 
Thiel 1.5's vs, 2.2's? Any thoughts?
I've owned the 1.5s. A sub is a definite. Wonderful, coherent speaker. Top end was a weak point, for me, however. I enjoyed the Thiels for a long while, until I didn't. peace, warren 
Interconnects:Dazed and Confused
Before you do anything, get acquainted with your new separates. REAL ACQUAINTED! Pick a moderately priced IC, that you've read some good press. Now moderation, of course, is a relative word, and can go as deep or shallow as your pocketbook will le... 
PS Audio Ultimate Outlet
You're right on with your thinking. Digital and analog: never the twain should meet. As to those output outlets of yours: CDP first. Always the source... peace, warren 
Jeff Rowland Concentra VS Krell KAV300i???????
Keith, I think we're talking Krell's integrated. At least I thought that was the deal. Mono blocks? Apples and oranges. 
limited outlets in wall and need for electricity
Digital and analog: never the twain should meet. The only way to do this is to have each one on their own line. Have your electrician put in another line for your digital. A Juice Bar, or better yet, a killer power conditioner (you know I favor Au... 
Jeff Rowland Concentra VS Krell KAV300i???????
Hey, it's been a year. Give us an update. Don't be ashamed if you bought the Krell. 
Jeff Rowland Concentra VS Krell KAV300i???????
All the more reason to check out the Passion. I liked it better than the Concentra. Also, marvelously built, with a world class remote. Let your tympanics guide you to nirvana. You won't be sorry with the Concentra or the Passion. But, I do agree,... 
Does anyone have any experience with JM Labs Alto?
Happy listening with your new babies. That was one high class problem you were able to take care of. Lucky guy. peace, warren
