Gene Pitney RIP
I was lucky,...very lucky to see Gene Pitney at Summerfest in Milwaukee about 10 years ago. I have seen many, many people live...both from the past and from the present. This guy was just super live. I will never forget how much energy, effort and... 
help me spend money-which high end speakers?
You might want to give the big Magnepan set up a listen...the one that Pearson of TAS is using with the 20.1 as main front L/R. 
What Brand of Audio Stand in this Photo?
Thanks! 
Why so many Gallo 3 or 3.1 for sale on A'goN?
Grant, have you always been this full of yourself?

"Don't as the question if you don't want the truth"... "your original question was superficial"...."on this site, the info you receive...etc."Sorry, self-righteousness..may be a bit of an understatement.But you are correct, I guess I could have gi... 
Why so many Gallo 3 or 3.1 for sale on A'goN?
With the exception of the self-righteousness in a couple of posts, thanks to most for your thoughts.I have listened to these speakers, but only once in a showroom and with gear and music that I am not familiar with.Being used to Maggie 1.6, 3.6 an... 
Help Please Woofer Pumping Is it Amp, CD or ?

Best Gene Pitney collection...sonically?.....
I was lucky enough to see Pitney at Summerfest in Milwaukee a few years ago....his hair may be white...but he sounded as good as ever.The early Musicor albums are almost as good, sonically, as the Paramount Roy Obrison recordings. 
Any New Magnepans In The Future??
True....and perhaps a new 1.7(?) could have as much improvement without the push pull thing.... Jim Winey was quoted on the 20.1 that he had not realized how much improvement making the midrange push-pull would make... 
Any New Magnepans In The Future??
Could be...but that is not the impact it has had on the 20.1. 
Tuner Information Center...gospel?
Well guys and gals....here's my last foray into the fantasy. The one I will call the "Ferrari for the price of a Fiat"...and once again, it doesn't exist.I picked up a used Kenwood KT-5020, #8 on the tuner shootout list, and after burn-in, some cl... 
Tuner Information Center...gospel?
Sorry, guess my dislike for that shade of blue-green may have had influence,..more a fan of verdigris. 
Tuner Information Center...gospel?
Viridain,...interesting approach. 
Today was Count Basie's Birthday
The Count was one of the greatest ever! He brought out more in Sinatra than any other. 
Tuner Information Center...gospel?
Hi Albert,Understand what you are saying, and as you can see in my post I am not questioning the man's honesty. Just feel that people are taking the shootout as being the last word on tuners. Also, I trust my own ears. Most of the tuners that I ha...
