| Who 'won' the show at CES Audio Research had an "off campus" showing at the Gold Nugget, using their gear, SME turntable and Vandersteen model 5 speakers. I thought it and the Soundlab, Purist Audio Wolcott exhibit at T.H.E. show were the two best sounds. | |
| What time do you wear? I was a Rolex President guy for many years, and as stated above by another poster, began to see way too many of what I owned. Four years ago, I sold the Rolex, and bought an Omega Titanium Seamaster. Yes there are smaller, lighter watches, but thi... | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? I think a position has been overlooked. I am basically a very high end analog guy that plays my CD's on a Sony 7700 DVD/CD player. The reason I bought this unit in the first place was to watch movies. The CD player is a bonus, and although it will... | |
| Who R U? Vetgonpunk@aol.com, I clearly remember when I was your age and discovered my perfect amp. My only advise to you is to enjoy your youth, the music, and your friends. Hopefully some of which will be females who like the same tunes you do. You are al... | |
| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? Khry, you are someone else who hears the same sound from these speakers as I do. I have heard these at three CES shows, and although the show is no place to make a final decision, I did not hear enough of what I wanted to pursue it further. I do p... | |
| Romantic HiFi Getaway Weekend?!? If you choose the San Francisco area, I think you and your wife would be amazed at the wine country, north of SF. I just completed a photo assignment there, and although San Francisco is a world class city, it is BIG and VERY busy. Wine country is... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Alberta_steve, thanks for your interest. That is the big Morman Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was in Utah doing photography for the Ski brochure for Southwest Airlines, and got permission from the leader of the church to do that photography. T... | |

| Best Low Volume System Quad electrostatics are difficult to beat in the close quarters you describe, and their sound is excellent both at low, and "room filling" sound pressure levels. You may be able find a good clean pair for sale on the used market, as they have been... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larryh, I make my living doing commercial and advertising photography, then I come home and attempt to make my stereo sound like live music. Do I succeed in achieving sound that is exactly like real music? No, and neither do my photographs fool an... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). One year at CES, when we were making our way down one of the hallways, the cardboard signs sticking out from the doorways indicate who is displaying in each of the rooms. One year the signs lined up, in such a way as to be irresistible. I commente... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). That story about the Jingle Cats is hysterical! I have a huge white Persian cat, and I've played this CD every Christmas and New Years for the last three years. My guests laugh, and my cat listens with a strange look on her face. It is priceless, ... | |
| Best Phono stage under $1200? Audiomat? The latest version of the Lukaschek from Switzerland, has a retail price of $1350. I do not think it would be a problem to find a dealer to sell one at the $1200.00 limit you set. This tiny phono is designed and built by Albert Lukaschek, the same... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). Ray, in response to your question in new postings, copied and pasted here at this site: Does anyone know of any collections of audio-related humor on the web? I miss the Lirpa articles in Audio (I know there are two listings on Audioreview). This ... | |
