Vapor Breeze
Typo in my previous post. Fourth sentence should read, "I don't think you can get anywhere near this type of sound quality with any speaker near this price range." 
Vapor Breeze
Yes I did! Just got them today and am listening. VERY good sound especially considering their price. I don't think you can get anywhere near this type of sound quality with any speaker. They will have tough competition though, as I'll be comparing...

Hi Todd,How long did it take you to get a pair of the Breeze? I'm wondering if it's faster to get than the Cirrus

Audience ClairAudient Speakers
I also have a pair of 2+2 and they are fantastic speakers with electrostatic like transparency and lots of detail without being too analytical. They are very fast and provide enough bass for me in my small 12 x 13 room. They are very revealing of ... 
MM Micro one comparison.
I have heard the micro ones in Kevin malmgrens listening room and they were very impressive. They filled the large room ver well for such a small speaker and disappeared as far as imaging. Very dynamic and fast. I would purchase a pair but for the... 
speakers for a small room
I am in a 12 x 13 x 9 room. I currently am using audience clairaudient 2+2 monitors and they work very well. I had quad esl63 before and the room was definitely too small for them. Most planers, electrostats need room to breathe. I would advise ag... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Thanks for your response TVAD. I was assuming that Blue Book wouldn't have a small company like Supratek. My Cortese was used; I bought it for $3,000 and that's what it was insured for with FedEx. I wonder what they will do if there is no Blue Boo... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi,Does anyone here know what the Blue Book value is for the Cortese? FedEx damaged my Cortese in shipping. They haven't resolved my claim yet, but the claim agent tells me that the reimbursement will be based on "blue book". I'm wondering if the ... 
Oritek X-1 as phonocable ?
Hi,I used the X-1 as a phono cable (I now use the X-2) and it worked beautifully. Prior to the X-1, I was using Kijmber's $600 cable; I felt that the X-1 was just as good, if not better than the Kimber. Of course, YMMV.Winston 
Ph.D. or Cat SL 1
Hi,I have a CAT SL-1 Reference that has been modified to be phono only. I haven't tried the PHD, but I recently purchased a K&K Audio SE Stereo phono kit with volume control off Audiogon. At first, I preferred the CAT as it seemed to impart mo... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Pat is one of the great contributors that makes this forum work. He has definitely greatly enhanced my enjoyment of music through his advice. I am extremely saddened to hear of this news. My wishes and prayers are with Pat and his family.

Getting into analog is tough....
I just got into analog about a month ago. I bought a VPI Scout/JMW9 tonearm and an Ortofon OM20 MM cartridge. Here are my thoughts. In my mind, it was worth the plunge (which will probably cost about $3000+ once all is said and done). The sound is...
