| Marantz PM-11 S3 - thoughts? I, too, have the Marantz PM-15S2b and love it. I can only imagine how nice the PM-11S3 sounds. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Stephen Colbert hits one close to home, LOL Steven Colbert is one of the funniest people on TV in many a year. He finally got the Emmy he deserved. | |
| Principles of audiophile cable construction? It might have been the article that Mofimadness referred to but if not, there is one that came out recently that concluded that conductors should be thick or you'll never get what the high end can offer. I found the exact opposite to be true, for ... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Pinot Noir, a good Cab or Pilsner or Ale, but not all the time. Fridays and weelends for sure, sometimes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,...I'd like to mention how nice and grown up folk have become to allow pot into the conversation without the usual ... | |

| Tekton Lore or Tonian Speakers I can only comment on the Tonians: I love them. I haven't heard the Tekton so I can't really say how they'd fare. If you are in the Los Angeles area, it would be worth it to check out the Tonians. Elliot Midwood might still have a pair to demo ove... | |
| Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home The best speaker I've ever heard was the Tonian Labs Classic 12.1S.I settled on his little brother, the TL-D1 and as he grew up, he no longer stood in his brother's shadow.All the best,Nonoise | |

| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen Yes, Anouar Brahim is an excellent choice. For a more traditional take, there's Negar Bouban with "Continu". As for others, check out the recommended music over at 6moons.com or just do a search on top rated oud players over on Amazon. I'm sure th... |
