Upgrade Suggestions
If you haven't already upgraded your AC to dedicated lines, that would be an excellent place to make an upgrade. You can also experiment w/PC's & outlets. Tune your room too & spend the rest of your budget on music. 
Power Cord Stress
I have a wood rack & screwed a small plastic telephone cable clamp directly above the IEC jack & used a shoestring w/two half hitches & tied up the IEC ends of the PC's. That holds the biggest PC in place.I recently purchased the 688 P... 
1st song you remember???
Since my mom dropped me on my head when I was a toddler & I had a fever of 105, my memory is very foggy as a little one. I remember sitting in our 1960 Dodge in the Bamberger's parking lot in New Jersey watching heat lighting & "Downtown" ...

Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's?
Like many others, I would not trade my current system for any I had before. Even though I started listening to the Beatles when we lived in Germany before they came to the states, my favorite time frame is from '67-'77. I started high school in '6... 
Any experience with the Pass Labs Aleph 5???
One of the best amps I had, especially in the midrange. I had it paired with an Aleph P & it was magical on female vocals & jazz. It didn't work like I wanted it to on rock so I sold it, but for anything else it's hard to beat.As far as th... 
Where are you at on the curve?...
I'm like, in the middle of a high speed maneuver with my foot firmly on the floor. The faster I go the better it feels but I have no idea how long I can keep at this pace before I lose control. It's been a fun ride but since I'm thinking about it ...

Best used speakers around 500 for clasic rock
A set of the older style Infinity Kappa's or RS series will rock your house. I can't comment on the newer Kappa version (.1 stuff). I had a set of Kappa 8's hooked to a set of Adcom 565's & put that system together strictly for rock.There's a ... 
What's your favorite speaker finish?
Black is my favorite and if anybody has ever owned a custom painted black Harley, you understand the affinity. Every single piece I own is black and the wood accents/racks are light. (oak, maple) Of course, having VR4 Gen III's helps contribute to...

Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
Hey, I only bought $5,000.00 speakers & drive a 1984 Honda Civic!!! Really!!! Well, the speakers list for almost that (4750.00) but I paid less. I actually like driving the beater around because nobody messes with it. The wife bought a new car...

Sorry to hear of your problems & wish you the best of luck. Hope you can get off those pain killers too.A good friend of mine & I were involved in a very bad accident in 1980. Lots of broken bones, internal injuries, etc. After 4 years of ...
