A blood oath among Audiogonistas
COUNT ME IN. MEKKA-LEKKA-HI-MEKKA-HINEY-HO. 
Your pick of CD player....
I love my APL Denon 3910, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else at the moment. Having said that, I have heard the Modwright Sony 999ES in my system and I have compared it to the APL. The Modwright is darn close, especially with the clock upgra... 
Improvements from av preamp to 2 channel preamp?
Welcome to the APL Jungle, Stenho. 
This sucks
Pawlowski6132, I heard the Zu Audio Tone monitors at Zu Audio's Los Angeles demonstration in September. I was very impressed. They are 101dB sensitive, and cost $1795/pair. I haven't heard them in my room, but if I was in the market for some very ...

Barb, it's clear that Pat was blessed to have you in his life. He expressed this many times and many ways in his posts.We are all richer for having known you and Pat through this thread.Thank you. 
Von Schweikert VR4 III SE vs. VR4 SR4
I'd simply like to add that the VR4 Gen III HSE's bass can be tightened up by adding a handful (or more) of Dacron fill in the bass port of the speaker. This is a technique mentioned in the VR4 Gen III HSE manual, and I have used it with good succ...

Cardas Golden Cross and Audience Au24 
Which iPod?
Amal, like you I was sold on the Shure E4c earphones until I read this review of Shure E4c vs. Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5pro. Take a look at the review before you buy the Shure earphones.As far as iPods go...buy the smallest and lightest with the mo... 
Dakiom stabilizers vs Bybee purifiers.
When I tried the Bybees and Dakiom stabilizers, my equipment consisted of: Empirical Audio modified Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP, First Sound Presence Deluxe II, Bryston 14B SST, Audience Au24 interconnects, MAS Signature speaker cabling. I do not rec... 
Elrod EPS-3 or EG Epiphany Please Help
I want to be clear. I'm a strong advocate of recommending several options from which others may choose. I never claim that any product is going to be the last of it's kind you'll ever purchase, because it's never been true for me.I own and use a D... 
Dakiom stabilizers vs Bybee purifiers.
I did this exact comparison. I tried the Bybee speaker purifiers, the Bybee RCA bullets, and the Dakiom stabilizers. I owned them all at the same time.The Bybees let all the music flow with extreme clarity, whereas in my system the Dakiom stabiliz... 
CD Redbook versus DVD Audio
Tvad...If it's too much trouble for you, then it's too much trouble for you. For me...no problem. Compared with the ritual that playing vinyl requires, it's nothing.Amen, Eldartford.By the way, Lrsky, I'll have to trust what you say regarding the ... 
Opinions on Music Angel or Pacific Creek Tube Int.
As it obvious appears that no one else is willing to be of any assistance.That's a harsh slap in the face to the Audiogon community, don't you think, El34eh?Music Angel and Pacific Creek aren't exactly household names in the high end audiophile ma... 
Watch out for your Paypal Account
It'd be a good idea to change your Paypal password. Shortly after I opened an account at AuctionSniper.com, I received notice from E-Bay that my E-Bay account had been corrupted (someone tried to use my ID to buy or sell items). After I changed th...
