Some impressions from the 2007 RMAF:
Hi Bill. Thanks for the complement. I wish we had met also. I agree Dales room was one of the finer rooms. A room that got my attention and my wifes as we walked by was Usher. We walked by it about 10 feet, we both stopped looked at each other lik... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
At work a few of us were at a training session. One of the guys asked about my system. Another who I know but rarely see asked a question about the LPs and how much the Nitty Gritty cost. When I said "about $100 but that was years ago" he said "I ... 
are any of your friends audiophiles?
I have a friend that lives about 700 miles from me. He got me started in this hobby about 35 years ago. I went into it heavy while he stayed content with his Dynaco and JBLs until about 4 years ago. Now he is putting together a nice system. I have... 
How Much Is Too Much?
I am 52. I cannot listen to music on a car radio not even those expensive car stereos or a reciever system. Radios are for talk shows or ball games for me. About 3 years ago I bought a SPL meter. I listen to music at peak levels about 88 to 92 dec... 
Review: Mosaic Chimera Speaker cable
The speaker cables I had before the Chimeras were MIT 750MH and DH Labs Q-10. I prefered the DH Labs over the MIT even though the MIT is much more expensive. The Chimeras are much better than either cable. I like Rlawry comment about digital. I ag... 
Review: Mosaic Chimera Speaker cable
I have had Essence 10As, which are Dale Pitcher's speakers, for almost 13 years. They were updated about 3 years ago. I purchased 2 pairs of Intuitive Design Chimera speaker cables also. The 10As are biwired with them. Out of the box it is not goo... 
joy killing refridgerator
I like this. Friends co workers, and relatives just dont get it. Where I use to live I had a dedicated room. Next to it was the kitchen. The fridge was on the opposite wall. It was as far from the sound room as possible and I could still hear it. ... 
lack of interest
I also wanted to add a good word for Sound Anchors. Two of the end caps were damaged on the Sound Anchor stands for the LFT-8As. Called Sound Anchors to order new ones. Sound Anchors said " You pay for shipping that's it". Shipping came to 63 cent...

lack of interest
High Chadnliz. I was asking just below the average blue book price the last two times I placed an add. They are a very nice looking speaker and very good sonically. But they are tall and that makes it hard to transport Pbb. So if the co-worker buy... 
lack of interest
Thanks guys. I'm not complaining. I'm just surprised how things happen the way you least expect it to. Also I bought these from a local seller without the original boxes. I will be more carful of that in the future. The boxes for the planar elemen... 
Anyone seen their favorite High End store close?
Salon 1 Audio in Wisconsin Rapids. Lots of hi end products and great people to to have fun talking with. Even my wife enjoyed visiting the place. They would let trusted customers take a component home to audition. Really miss them. 
Jolida 100 level 2 mod?
I have the Jolida JD-100 with the level 1 mod from Wally. Of all the cd players I have had or tried ( CAL, Sony, )the JD-100 is much better tonally. I have heard the Audio Research and it is very good, perhaps better. I still prefer my turntable b... 
Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........
Vandersteen 5As would be the strongest candidate others are Intuitive Design these will be hard to audition but would be worth the effort especially if your about to spend 20 to 30 grand. And Green Mountain Audio C3s. I am sure the Conrad gear wil...
