Austin Texas area Audio folks?
getfrog, whart, and others the best way to connect with many local Austin Audiophiles is through two Facebook groups these days.  One is a private group called 5one2Audio and the other is the Austin Audio Society.  Not all Austin audiophiles are m... 
Austin TX — February, 2009
As someone who has personally hosted twelve get-togethers of various iterations for audio or HT groups over the last 11 years and organized or planned 4 more that were hosted by various local dealers. At all of these attendance has varied from 15-...

I just sent Rebbi the contact list, so he can send out invites for whatever he decides to do.I maintain a list of audiohiles in the area that have an interest in these sort of things. It has about 40 folks on it.I am willing to share the list with... 
Thoughts on New Audio Frontiers
Too late I know, but I have had their preamp for about 4 years now, and it has been a great find.I have compared it against a decent amount of preamps and it is tough to beat, especially a the current asking price. At that price it is probably the... 
Has anyone listened the new Argento Flow?
Geo, you need to try at least one FMR PC in your system. I hate it, because they are so expensive but even above the Flow they are like a component upgrade.I got to meet Ulrik a couple of weekends ago, what a great guy. Around his visit I also got...

Good $250 Power Cord
TG Audio Silver used is a low cost fave of mine.Another one that you could possibly get for close to this price is the LessLoss DFPC. It is a really nice cord. 
Outlets

Argento cables - any experience?
As you can see by looking at my system, I have a good amount of experience and have ended up purchasing as much Argento stuff as I can afford. My IC's will switched to Argento as well once the bank account recovers.I have extensive experience in c... 
what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh
As others are saying, you aren't hearing the Shindo to its full capacity. However I think it goes beyond just the wires you are using. Your entire system just isn't like 100% of other Shindo user systems seen on Audiogon or elsewhere.All of your o... 
Mint Tractor
I just ordered one for my recently ordered Tri-planar arm, which will go with my DPS-2 and Zyx Atmos.It should be interesting to use and contrast, as I also have experience setting my table up with a friend's Dr. Feickert alignment disc.But I like...

Since this thread has attracted a lot of knowledgeable Avantegarde owners, I wanted to see if any of you have experience with a couple of mods available.1)http://www.nonamehifi.com/suspension_legs.htmOzhan Atalay designed these to decouple his twe... 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
What is the difference between the Ultrapure and the SP15 units?Does the Ultrapure basically just add more levels of filtration over the SP15, in addition to the balanced power?
