Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
matt0404 any additional comments with your speakers and amp combo?  I recently bought a pair of these speakers with the upgraded tweeter module and am finally going to get a chance to decide on an amplifier to use with them.  Any other recommendat... 
Any Young Audiophiles Out There?
I don't know if I fit the young category anymore at 31 yrs old. I have been into audio and music since I was a teenager and always had decent systems from that point on.I only got hooked on the really expensive and excellent sounding equipment abo... 
Has anyone had their units modified by ASi Tek....
I have a Behringer DCX 2496 with custom mods from Doug. He transformed the unit from a budget piece to a world class sounding piece of electronics. His workmanship is top notch and his ideas and modifications are very innovative. I have also heard... 
What's the best HD DVD player under $1,500
If you want to invest in one of the new HD formats I would recommend the Sony PS3. I have owned one for just over a year and enjoyed many blu ray movies and the player has performed perfectly.If you are just talking about standard DVD playback jus... 
How far would you drive to audition a component?
About 3 years ago I drove from Michigan to New Hampshire to buy a pair of Coincident Super Eclipse II speakers. I did this over a two day weekend. I swore I would have the speakers forever. I enjoyed them very much but they only stayed for about 1... 
I want to thank Audiogon for all the help given.
That was a great post and one I would like to chime in on. In addition to all the help with equipment I have found Audiogon a great forum to promote new friends. I met several local audiphiles and even some across the country that I have become fr... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
I will sometimes email a seller and ask for his/her best delivered price on an item to find out if they are flexible on the price and are willing to include shipping and or paypal. I hope I am not coming across as a moron. I seem to have good luck... 
Artemis Labs LA-1: Anybody ever audition it?
I heard the Artemis Labs LA-1 preamp at an audio show (I know not the best conditions) where they had it paired with Nuforce monoblock amps and Harbeth HL-5 speakers. They used a high end turntable with the Artemis Phono preamp and a couple nice d... 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
The fans were urging him to talk in between songs but he really didn't until pretty late in the show and even then he was extremely soft spoken. He was very humble and thanked the crowd numerous times. He is wonderful and I will not miss him when ... 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
Tristan Prettyman opened the show and that was my first time hearing her and her band. They sounded really nice with a laid back sound. She has a very nice voice. Ray came on and from the first words he sang I knew I was in for a special performan... 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
This thread was right on time. I have the opportunity to go to see him in a 1,600 seat cathedral tonight (in Detroit) with my brother and a friend. I will report back after the show. I am really looking forward to it. 
Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff
I own both of his cds and really like his music. After I saw him on Austin City Limits I knew I wanted to buy some of his music. I hope to have the chance to see him in person. 
A great article on Class D/switching amps
I got a chance to read the article and thought it was pretty well written. I wish I could have had the chance to hear all the amps in the article. I own a pair of Nuforce monos and like the price to performance. They do many things very well and f... 
DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization
I had Parts Connexion modify a DK VS1mkII a while ago. It was a great improvement over the stock amp. If I didn't have problems with changing gear every couple months I would have probably kept it & been happy. It sounded killer. I think it wa...
