Tom, you are again condemning something about which you know nothing! How can anyone believe anything you say based on these foolish assertions?You have never seen Joe Lavrencik's Isolation System, nor have you studied his papers. Your comments ma... 
Is this the best analog has to offer?
jyprez, if you don't mind mentioning where you live maybe someone could help you with your set-up. This is not to imply that you are dumb. Proper set-up is a very difficult process. There are times when even the veterans feel like they could use s... 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
I have propounded on this topic many times here already, but like any good pragmatist here goes...The company is a name know to EVERYONE, but not as a speaker manufacturer. Sony made a series of speakers which were American designed and made with ...

I have also met Joe and talked to him very briefly. He was at the CAS meeting to listen to the music and products, while I unfortunately was headed for the door at that time. I left the meeting with a profound respect for the person who had develo...

theaudiotweak, your statements are inflamatory, not to mention foolish. Even if a stand or piece of equipment does not operate at 100% performance does it mean that the piece is of no value? Are you currently getting 100% from all of your gear? To...

The most impressive system I have seen was at the Chicago Audio Society gathering a couple of months ago.It is a 'stand' for lack of a better term that is designed to 'Isolate' (neutralize the degrading effects of ground borne vibrations) and to '... 
Analog Selection Dilemma: Aries V. Scout
I would also suggest the better table. It will make a difference. The cartridges though are another issue. You can get a better cartridge for less money by going with the Shelter 901, or possibly even the 501. Lyra makes a good product, but they g...

New Guy asking for help
Earlier in the thread someone suggested listening to the systems of some of your friends, perhaps as a point of reference. This can be helpful, but often dangerous advise!At one point I attempted this same thing. I listened to the systems of sever...

Kublakhan, are you out of your mind? "This" will never go with "that" unless you enjoy the shrill screaming of bands like Rush. The biggest problem other than your obvious complete ignorance of this entire hobby, is your equipment rack. The cables... 
Vocabulary question
Some amplifiers will not have the power reserves to reproduce a sudden burst of musical energy. An amplifier which does possess this reserve power is able to reproduce this difficult passage of music. When the sudden burst of musical energy occurs... 
A Tough Question
Distortion, I loved your last post. It made me laugh. Say "hi" to the neighbor if you ever see him again!We can have different opinions and still share the same enjoyment!Cheers! 
A Tough Question
Distortion, that's like the alcoholic who says "I can stop drinking any time I want." Unless you stop there is no real reason to beleive that you can.It is disengenuous to say you are not owned by your possesions, cars wives, homes. They are the c... 
A Tough Question
I think some of us misunderstand the philosopher (Brad Pitt). That's a joke. The issue is when we buy a 'thing' we now have the responsibilty to use it and care for it. When one buys a '73 Corvette they have to maintain it, they have to wash and p... 
I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile
I have been subscribing to Stereophile on and off since the eighties. JGH was the editor and chief crumudgeon then and I can say with volumes of proof that there was plenty of advertising in the magazine then. I will admit that there is more now. ...
