Calling all Horn lovers
Duke if you are starting to look for dealers will you be showing at CES 2014? This is the place to get dealers not RMAF. 
New KT150 tubes?
Is the KT-150 similar to the KT-120 in that it is not a direct replacement for a KT-88? 
RIP Panny Plasmas
I have one of the last Pioneer Kuro Plasma 60 inch display that was made. I still love the picture and would only sell when OLED becomes available in this size for a reasonable amount of money.

Dayglow, do you still live in MI? 
Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D
Melbguy1 you have been a member since 2008, I think you should stay. This is just a fun hobby and should not be a source of pain or disappointment. 
Tascam DA3000: Analog to Digital Recording
Al, I don't want to get close to the performers. By setting up the mikes further back, I can also get some of the room sound as well. I guess one would have to practice with setup to get this just right. Thanks Jeff

Magico S5 vs Wilson Alexia
Yes, I agree Magico to me is also clinical. I'm not that much of a fan for Wilson either, but I would pick it over Magico. 
Audio Desk Systeme Record Cleaner
I have had mine for 6 months now and never had a problem. It cleans great and leaves no water droplets or smudges on the edge of the record. Now with my positive experience and I'm sure there are 100's more are you still not going to buy one becau... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Bobbob, not really the Modright 105 sounds fantastic the way it is. I'm just wondering if the performance can get even better with the Dueland Cast caps. I think these are the best caps out there right now.
