Modwright Platinum Truth Sony 999ES
I have two local audiophile friends, each of whom owns a Modwright 999ES as part of reference systems. They have both experimented with several power cords on the player and power supply including Poiema!!!, DCCA Extreme Reference, Revelation Audi...

best digital set up 2006
I own some duplicate titles on both redbook and DVD-A, and I listen exclusively in two channel. The DVD-A versions are significantly better in every regard than their redbook siblings. Whether this is due to the DVD-A format or more careful re-mas... 
Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio
I just got "WaltzFor Debby", wonderful. Like you I get a kick out of all the background noise. It's almost like people didn't realise they were taping the show.Samac (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)Have you ever been to the Village Vanguard?... 
Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio
Some great stuff here. I'd add one more along Sbank's line of thought. Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis' "Somethin Else" - specifically the Classic Records re-master on DVD-A.  
Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE
An update on the Odyssey monos. I spoke with Klaus today, who suggested perhaps the amp's brightness was a result of them being out of bias. Over the telephone, I worked with Klaus' associate, Michael, and tested the bias of the Left Channel amp u... 
I think it is time to retire
I just hope KISS is still playing in their 70s. It'll be fun to see four saggy and baggy white guys in black spandex and Halloween wigs still kickin' out "Detroit Rock City".

differences between tube and solid state designs
05-14-06: Bartokfan"slight differences"...not sure which amps you are listening to. Take any Cayin tube, put it in a room with any ss amp, even 3X's the Cayin price. Then come back and post a comment.The results of that comparison will no doubt de... 
Vacuum Tube Valley Magazine VTV Show Report
Lots of unidentified photos, and not much else. Kind of like looking at a stranger's photo album without any commentary to explain what I'm seeing. Am I missing something here? 
Insurance for audiophiles
Be sure to have receipts for all your purchases, and serial numbers and photos. Take it from someone who has dealt with a burglary claim. The insurance adjuster is going to want proof of ownership of all the gear you are claiming...and he or she w... 
Talon Raven's and Bryston 14bsst synergy?
Consider Odyssey Stratos Mono Extremes. I have owned a Bryston 14B SST, and it's an outstanding amplifier. The Odyssey Monos are very, very competitive as far as sonics are concerned, with perhaps a touch more sweetness in the highs, and a less cl... 
Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE
The Odyssey Extreme Monos are extended, clear and bring lots of muscle, which presents a very large image.I've found that with the Odyssey monos in the system, the Lamm LL2 preamp requires rolling the 6922 tubes to soften the upper mids and highs....
