Ref-75-SE delivered ...
Actually, there won't be a REF 75 SE Mk11...there will be a REF 85, LOL.Will put out 10 watts more /channel and will make the REF 75SE sound like a boat anchor. Nice thing is that the REF 85 will ONLY cost 50% more than the REF 75SE and will be av... 
Kevin gets the
Kevin, very sorry to hear about your wife. The time period that you spoke about would have coincided with the conversation with my Dr. friend. I'm sure that would explain a lot and I will make sure to contact him and explain. Hopefully, he will be... 
Kevin gets the
I have a friend who asked Kevin what Cryo'ed tubes were. Boy, was that a mistake! After a complete talking down to, my friend ( who happens to be a Dr.) was left with such a bad taste in his mouth he took his biz elsewhere. To the tune of buying $... 
What's going on with Mobile Fidelity?
I agree with Actusreus. The practice of pre-releasing but not committing to a definite release date, or stating a release date and then backing off from that needs to stop, IMO. Several of the Miles Davis LP's have gone this route. MOFI under Musi... 
Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge
Actusreus, I also read this review and thought along the same lines as you. IMHO any manufacturer who is "beta" testing on the public has no right to be in business. The cartridge in question had better produce and produce from the get-go. OTOH, I... 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
Hifihv, I said 'he, who lives in glass houses" referring to you, my friend.You wish for 'privacy' which is why you don't post a system.....Sure.The Pioneer in that thread belonged to a friend, which IF you bothered to read the thread is exactly wh...

Hifihvn, I think it is you who should have a nice day...You seem to be a little "uptight"....makes sense since I said:"he who lives in glass houses".

Hifihvn,--- "he, who lives in glass houses" 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
Hifihvn, to answer your question, because that's my TT...can I ask you a question.... how come YOU have NO system link? 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
Musicpod and Hifhvn, it is NOT that I believe that speaker driver's have a ZERO failure potential. Instead, I am saying that of all components that are delivered new to a consumer in our hobby; I would say that speaker drivers are on the VERY low ... 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
Musicpod why would a driver fail? I can understand it if you over drive the speaker, which would be your fault, but under normal use....I don't get it.What reason was there for your Vienna drivers failing in such a short period of time?? My point ... 
Do not buy any Sonus Faber used
I have had very good service whenever I have talked to Sumiko. However, I have to wonder how often a speaker will need warranty repair anyway? After all, what's to really fail....the driver, the x-over the connectors...???? I could see that an amp... 
Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
Raquel, I'm fairly certain that the Wilsons still use that nasty tweet-- sourced from Focal...an 'inverted titanium dome'. Rings like crazy and gives me a serious headache. Which of course drives my hubby a little crazy also..;0)Why DW cannot hear... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Original question relates to single women...as a married woman, I'm pleased to know where the hubby is when i hear him listening to his system...he probably thinks the same way about me.LOL. 
Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding?
Spiritualized, I'm pretty sure that your'e right regarding the X-can. I noticed today that the latest version has been removed from the market. I have come to believe that all Musical Fidelity gear is nothing more than mid-fi at best.Yesterday, I ...
