| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's Gamut is worth considering. As for weight, I have 200 lb Classe Omegas, and have learned how to move them around the room just fine. There are ways of doing this - just like the Egyptians built the pyramids. If you have to get them up/down some st... | |
| Kudos to Peter Ledermann at Soundsmith Peter was amazing fixing my Airtight PC-1 for minimal $$ - very honest about doing just what needs to be done - not gouging customers. Very impressed! | |

| HDtracks American Beauty Swanny - I know what you're talking about. I think some of the things that I'm hearing that I never heard before may be increased emphasis on existing vocals. Sometimes it even seems like its an alternative vocal track altogether - but it's probab... | |
| Perlite Speaker Stand Filler As a geologist, I can tell you that gravel does not have more porespace then sand. They are about the same. The best case, is to mix fine sand into gravel, because the sand will fill the pore spaces between the gravel. | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? Maybe you can figure out a way to add a motorized volume control to it? | |

| Audioquest Dragonfly I am very impressed with it with Sennheiser HD580 headphones. It drives them really well (good synergy) - so an added bonus could be headphone capability. If you are using it in a fixed location, my gut feeling is that you could spend an extra hun... | |
| Do I really need a Dac? I think you should get a Schidt Bitfrost from Audio Advisor and audition it for 30 days. You can return it for free, and it's a very good DAC at the $400 level. | |
| Audio Research Ref 250s for Magnepan 20.1s? If you like EL34's, you might consider Wolcott 220's. VTL 750's would be great with the Maggies - the older models are more affordable. | |
| Window acoustic treatment... Rrog has a good idea. First, get some decent looking flat curtains and mount them up against the glass. Then, go to your local insulation distributor and buy (or special order) 12" or 16" or 10" pressed fiberglass pipe insulation sleeves. Bring th... | |
| Any other AQ Dragonfly Early Adopters out there? Great if you can use your internal disk instead of external. The Dragonfly manual recommends using a different Bus if you are going to attach an external HD. Specifically, use a firewire for your HD and USB for your DAC. | |
