Dunlavy SC IVa or B&W 802
No competition in my mind. Dunlavy! As a matter of fact, I have watched the prices of the Dunlavy IVa and V models since they closed the doors. The first two years showed a small reduction in resale value, but now they have risen above the prices ...

Aurios MIB Pro vs. Pro-Max?
My understanding is it's a replacement. I too have been curious about how they preform against the Pros, I personally have found the performance of the 1.2 is quite a step down from the pro...jd 
Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp
Paul, I hope your still checking into this thread. I have tried now four separate times to write you back, but I am receiving a delivery delay and/or failure message. I'm so sorry I can not get back to you directly. To contact Jim White go to the ... 
Cable auditions - Hard Work?
S23chang, great points. First I love your concept of getting rid of the "system dependant" comments. Cables are only system dependant if they are making up for weaknesses in the system. A strong system will help us determine what the cable is doin... 
Cable auditions - Hard Work?
Yuri, I am sick of this ^%$# out of your mouth. You stand on your soap box telling us “folks” to listen to you because your Toys ‘R Us system can not discern the difference in Sonics between different cables and components. Then you “dare” me to c... 
Cable auditions - Hard Work?
Yun, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah! That's all I hear. 
Sade - The Best of......
Thank you for the review. I first heard Sade in 1985(?) and finally discovered how to spell her name on a vacation in Hawai while resting in our room after too much sun. The children's programing we were watching (with my son) had Sade as the sing... 
Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso?
Mr. man of no mistakes; I think the feeling of closed in may be an illusion created through a rounder more human image to the edge of instruments and voices on the soundstage. With the dampers there is a slight lessening of the "cut out" appearanc... 
Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp
I must take a second to thank you Tim for the extremely kind thoughts. I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity to write for any magazines or E-review sites because I have not pursued it. I enjoy this hobby more than anything I am able to due given ... 
Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso?
Hi Perfecto man,I just received four of Herbie's tube dampers a couple weeks ago. This is the first of the four products I have tried that were a step forward. The others gave me little or no improvement and the Mapleshade brass dampers were horri... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Excellent description of some extremely complicated topics put into terms even I could understand. After reading for most of the day through papers coming from Rice University and spin off company profiles into nanotechnology I see the excitement ... 
Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp
Hi Tim,Thank you for the kind words. I used to have two SA-102 amps in a vertical bi-amp configuration. (running both in stereo. I found the mono block configuration to be a bit too aggressive for my room and ears. I imagine your set-up as describ... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
Hi Joe,Damn you... the problem with respecting you despite not agreeing fully is I then give consideration to your opinions. Over the last four years some truly revolutionary thinking (and in some cases actual science) has raised the bar in cable ... 
Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp
I have indeed been doing some trial and error (tube rolling) with the 6922. I was under the false impression that this tube set (V2 socket) would have little affect. I was grossly wrong. After reading “Joe’s tube lore” (Google Joe’s tube lore) at ...
