Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Hi Jazzybs - hmmm not easy, try hanging out at concerts or live music events and you will have a better avenue to meet women who appreciate music (not to be confused with giving the green light in spending 25K on Boulder Monoblocks and 25K Wilson'...

That's funny.:o) I think we should add "mysterious woman from the Ukraine who appreciates sound quality, loves music and is not looking for that golden oppurtunity to be a US citizen and not leave said new hubby, taking HALF of his possesions" :o)... 
Rowland 625 versus Audio Research DS450
Optimus - Did you prefer the 201's over the Model 10? 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Sure, they care about the look of it so it matches the window treatments. But I don't think this should be confused as a "turn-on".Now since you bought the NAD for her that is great - I gave my wife some Epos speakers....which is about to go on Au...

Grab a lawnmower, rake, edgetrimmer, weedwhacker - grab a bucket and water some Meguires car wash, then wash her car. Show her you can move more then just biasing the tubes and changing out a CD -and show you have some amount of physical fitness a... 
Belles 150A with Totem Arros
Hi Liptrop - How is the V2 upgrade compared to the stock Reference?Does the V2 version have a softstart or warmup? 
Belles 350A Reference vs. Pass INT-150
The latest stereophile has a review of the INT-150, and he does compare it against the XA-30.5 and I beleive the Rogue Monoblocks - so it may be worth taking a browse through that to get an idea of its personality (at least in the reviewers system... 
Anyone compared 6922 Sovtek & Electro-Harmonix
I can advise of both in a Quicksilver Pre-amp. I find the EH much smoother and more lush. As Newbee mentioned I too find them a bit muddy in the bass department. Sovteks have better bass but can be a bit edgy with vocals and symbals with my pre-am... 
YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison?
Hi Hiendmuse - best of luck to you and enjoy the experience. Who knows you may see another speaker that blows you away :o)Lou. 
YG Acoustics vs. Avantgarde Duo series comparison?
For the money that a potential buyer would be shelling out to buy either of these speakers and assuming that the buyer has that much $$ of disposable income to purchase equipment, IMO it would be better to just take a trip or fly out to the closes...

I think what we have here, are some lonely(no offense and it is not a general statement):o) audiophiles who have spent big $$ in Audio gear (much of the high priced gear reviewed in Abs. Sound and Stereophile)and have made that their priority - ra... 
Synergistic Research ART Basik, any opinions?
I agree with you Ckoffend - I think Synergistic makes fantastic cables, top notch in all the cable swapping/comparisons I have done.But this apparatus (and the COST!!!!) has me baffled. Some of it is set up at my local dealer. They say it works, I... 
Best tube pre-amps under $1,000
I agree with you Mingles - he may be getting paralysis by analysis at this point.For under 1K the choices are pretty limited. Used.For under 1K the only Modwright is the 9.0SE which is not the tube rectified version - so it may not give the warmth... 
Solid State to Tubes and Back Again
Hi Hawk28 - I think all the reasons given and more are why people swap. Some people have money to burn and just change for sake of changing. Some people are never happy, some people have to keep up with the Audiophile Jones's, others want to exper...
