H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
S7horton. Virtually every speaker made benefits from the use of a properly selected and integrated subwoofer(s) system. The Caravelle is not unique in this regard. 
The most emotional amp out there?
With the right speakers, which is the case for all reference amps, Ralph Karsten's amps are superb and priced quite fairly vis a vis their quality. 
Thiel 7.2 vs Wilson Sophia
Both are great speakers but the Thiels need a lot of juice. 
cable break in
Maybe he meant no brain here.:-) 
Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo
Perhaps Truthseeker has not had experience with a high end system using a pair of properly integrated subs but the difference vis a vis a single is quite pronounced. I would suspect most audiophiles that have switched from a single sub to a pair w... 
Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used
For classical only Quads are superb. 
Listening triangle
I spent a fair amount of time tweaking positions; optimal for my room and system was 9' between the mains with the subs alongside (inside). Reading this thread seems to indicate that the 8'-9' mains separation is the most frequently used. But of c... 
Is solid state obsolete?

Preamp w/ big sound AND extended frequencies ?

Passlabs X2.5 + X150 + SF Grand Piano Home?
FWIW, about 2 years ago I was driving Quad 988 (86dB) with the Pass 2.5/150 (I assume you meant 2.5 not 2.3) combo and was quite pleased. The 988 impedance drops to 2 ohms around 10Khz if I'm not mistaken and the 150 didn't miss a beat. I believe ... 
Getting and keeping records clean................
Automatic record cleaning machines are a great convenience I suppose. I use a manual machine, the Record Doctor II, and I guarantee that with a little elbow grease and the right cleaning solutions, no machine will get your records any cleaner. You... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
As a few other have done, I installed a pair of Mundorfs and a pair of V-Caps in my Grange. You'll need to find a new spot for the Mundorfs as they will not fit in the same position as the factory supplied caps and the leads must be extended. If y... 
Michael Brecker...
First of all I'm very sorry for your loss. Make no mistake about that. However, for you to make assertions that there is some type of conspiracy by the drug companies without a shread of proof is totally irresponsible. I'm sure you are far from in... 
Michael Brecker...
MarakanetzThanks for the 2 sites. My "Oliver Stone" reply was a sardonic response to Tiday's Where did you hear this? post regarding the insane assertion by Digsmithd that the drug companies and government are conspiring. Digsmithd is either jokin...
