Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Just my own opinion, but I have had stereo REL Stentor IIIs (a few years ago) and now have stereo Fathom F112s and I prefer the Fathoms by a fairly significant margin. The RELs are nice and I enjoyed them but the Fathoms exposed the RELs limitatio...

GREAT CD!! 
Aethetix IO Signature Question
Thanks for the input John. I know what you mean about re-tuning one's system after a component change. This is why I try not to be a "gear hound" and have had most pieces in my system for years. That said, I am still always amenable to increasing ... 
Aethetix IO Signature Question
It's funny yet typical that people have different experiences with the same piece of gear. I agree wholeheartedly with Jafox's tube discussion as his experience is the same as mine - I have 8 Telefunken 12AX7s and 4 Brimars in mine (and I bought t... 
Aethetix IO Signature Question
Again, I agree with Ruston on the noise issue as mine was also not too noisy with the stock tubes and my Dynavector XV-1s. Sure it has a little tube rush when the music is not playing but I never noticed it when I dropped the cartridge, That said,...

Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal
Michael,I went from a $100,000 pair of Kharma Exquisite Diamonds to the Verity Sarastro II and I can ASSURE you without any doubt that they will do rock at real world volumes. As far as their bass goes, this is where set-up is crucial and, as Cenl... 
Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal
Argyo,While I agree with Jaybo that you have a good speaker, I disagree with his conclusion since you listed your exact objective. I too went from Kharma to Verity and you will get exactly what you are looking for. Again, not to say the 3.2 isn't ... 
Paradigm Signature Servo vs JL-Audio F112
I usually don't post much here anymore but do have a strong opinion (and this all this ever really is) on this topic. I've owned Kinergetics, Paradigm, Velodyne, M&K, ACI, B&W and owned and reviewed the REL Stentor III subs and all I can s... 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
Not bad FrankG!! I certainly can't complain (well, I could but no one would listen!). How are you? I assume your system is still top notch? 
The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ?
My best guess is that this would be a 6-way tie:1. Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns: "Let the Healing Begin"2. Doc Kupka's Strokeland Superband: "Bumped Up To First Class"3. Judith Owen: "Lost and Found"4. Chris Jones: "Roadhouses and Automobiles"5...

What made you select "audio" as your hobby

Lula and Williamredburry, if either of you are near the Detroit Metro area you can stop by and hear for yourself. If not, e-mail me privately and I can give you my impressions. While I am not a politically correct guy, there is much to like about ...
