Infinity Primus P363 TAS review
"I have the original 360 that came out yes ago and Stereo Review raved about..."Stereo Review gave rave reviews on everything. I don't think they ever gave a bad review in the history of the magazine. "Wow REG claims these speakers are "In many fu... 
B&W 802 Bass Removal
Its probably just stuck from being in there so long. Try taking the other one out. If that one comes out easy, it will confirm that the other speaker is stuck. With the other driver out, you should be able to put your hand inside the cabinet and p... 
Supratek out of business?
Now that you mention it, Supra Ply may have been a better choice. 
Tascam DA-3000 PCM 24/192 & DSD Recorder ?
"Question:When should I record with 24/192 or 24/96hz?"Whenever you are recording from a high rez source like LP, SACD, DVD-A, etc.. If you are recording from something that has a lower resolution, like a CD, I don't think you'll hear any type of ... 
VANDERSTEEN 5A
Obviously, something's not right here. I don't know what's wrong with your speakers, but I doubt they are going bad due to some type of quality issue. Something else is causing them to fail. It would probably help to list your system. Also, I assu... 
What speakers for 10k?
"Klipschorns"Sounds like something you would have a doctor remove. 
Supratek out of business?
This is really bad news. It appears that we lost yet another cable manufacturer. There's so few left. If this keeps up, we may not have anyone to turn to. Hang on to your old, used cables. You may not be able to replace them. 
Phono Preamp?
" Another phono stage may or may not offer any significant improvement. Also, upgrades seldom result in huge leaps in performance but rather smaller, incremental steps. Its this last 5% in performance that we all seem to seek. So more info would r... 
What speakers for 10k?
"If you hear less than that at the demo, it's the setup and not the speakers. Setup is not that complicated, but it does take some diligence. Simliarly, amplification doesn't have to be expensive or exotic, but it has to be a good fit. Those 150 w... 
What speakers for 10k?
"I got a pair of Mag 1.7s a year ago and at my budget, that's as good as it's going to get for me."I would say that the Magnepan is a must audition. I tried a pair of 1.7's myself and thought they were just OK. I was kind of surprised because I th... 
Which feet for VPI Scout
Is it really worth the money? I can't help but think $400-$500 is pretty high for new feet, and may put to better use elsewhere. I'm curious because I have a Scout and it never occurred to me that feet would be a big upgrade. 
Behold Gentle G192 Media Player
Does TARA have anything to do with the company? The only reason I ask is that you will probably be eliminating the need for quite a few pairs of cables using a device like this. 
is there an audiophile war going on
I think the war is in their heads, for the most part. 
VANDERSTEEN 5A
What did Vandersteen say? There's no way he would see those amps come back 6 times for repairs and not grab the phone and start asking questions.
