How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage
Well said Tubegroover! Perhaps you read between the lines in my initial post, but some of those speakers I auditioned did leave me concerned about listener fatigue as a trade-off for imaging. Speakers that are midrange dominant and congested are n... 
Audio Rack with Positive "waf"
What are people's feelings about materials. Is all wood OK, if it's a high density wood? I've got a Berning ZH270 and it should be kept away from steel or iron. That leaves wood, aluminum, glass. Any feedback on using these materials? I know there...

I'm thinking I should ship it back to David. The shipping wouldn't be costly for such a light amp (insurance could be >> the shipping cost), and he would be most qualified to test the amp thoroughly (including the tubes). Perhaps that would ...

The amp only has about 10 hours on it total. The other CDP I'm using with it is an Arcam FMJ CD23. 
Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco
I went to Harmony Audio. They were great! I spent 2 hours in a room without interruption auditioning the Totem Mani-2's, Model 1s, and B&W N805'2. Frank and Smitty were generous with their time and information. Only several speaker lines repre...
