| Your top 3 worst purchases ever The problem is many worst purchases may be a result of a system mismatch of some sort, and is no reflection of the quality of the product itself. | |
| The Audiophile and the Frog .. True Story My kids are like that frog, lots of talent, but often seem content to keep it a secret. | |

| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier I've heard 97 db zu essence off 6 watt set amp. It worked pretty well with much of the music demoed but Zu guy admitted when I queried that the amp was under powered for certain kinds of music like the Rush lp I asked to hear. Bass was noticeably ... | |

| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Tube amp + Orangutan (very cool name for those speakers BTW) is likely a very good match, but I would still lean towards 30 w/ch Pass SS amp with 90+ db efficient Orangutans rather than any 30 w amp, tube or SS with 86 DB efficient speakers, Harbe... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Low,Maybe. Would not surprise me.Axis is easier to setup which would appeal to more people than LP 12, which is more for the enthusiast. Proper setup is 80% or more of the game when it comes to good vinyl sound. In hindsight, if I were Linn I woul... | |
