Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Oh my...I cringed through the later half of the above post...Rich, fire that cable guy! 
Innuos Statement Review
@david_ten Thanks for asking. I think this is a great place to discuss "upper tier" servers.  
Innuos Statement Review
@audiotroy @hehaw77 Gentlemen, please give it a rest. Hehaw prefers the Antipodes CX+EX combo and has his reasons. Duly noted. Audiotroy highly recommends people try the Innuos Statement and has his reasons. Duly noted. Now please stop with the ba... 
Innuos Statement Review
There is a very helpful discussion on servers on What's Best Forum. I highly recommend it to those who want some different perspectives on various servers. There you will find the Taiko SGM Extreme is discussed extensively and compared in listenin... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Rich, Congratulations on your purchase. Having followed your journey, I'm glad you pulled the trigger. And as a person who has spent a lot of time in front of Perspectives, I'm confident you are going to find they meet your expectations. As I have... 
Help with an AV processor
@wemfan Just as @loomisjohnson notes, you can use your Oppo as a preamp. See belowhttp://www.oppo-bluray.co.uk/UserFiles/Docs/PDF/BDP-105EU%20Direct%20Power%20Amplifier%20Connection%...I hope this helps you.-Al 
Innuos Statement Review
@hehaw77 I'm not picky about cookies. I basically like all of them. :-) Thanks for the additional information. And I have also found that expanding my digital chain can introduce "handshake" irregularities. I haven't changed the chain since I inse... 
Tonearm/Cartridge Combinations: What Do You Own (Or Have Owned) And Recommend?
I will note that I own a Lyra Delos cartridge that I use with the Reed 3P too. This I also recommend. Different signature than the Reed 3p/VdH Crimson combo, but still very satisfying.  
Innuos Statement Review
@hehaw77 So, you owe me a cookie :-) The Innuos Statement slight "brightness" frankly goes away with sufficient burn-in. As I posted originally, Antipodes makes good products. Its DX3 is a really good product. I'm confident that the EX+CX combo is... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
@ricred1 Thanks for the shout out Richard. I'm glad it worked for you. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Why don't Joseph Audio Pearls get more love from the audio press?
I agree with @bdp24 and @soix. This is one reason I like to attend audio shows. At least I get to hear both what the reviewers say they like and stuff I have never encountered in the formal reviews. I had no intention of being a Joseph Audio owner... 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Rich, this post makes me happy. Let us know when you obtain the Perspectives. I'm waiting on Jeff Joseph to tell me what the graphene upgrade cost is going to be on Pearl 3s. 
RMAF 2019!
@prof I understand your point about the Vivid sound, except that the Vivid/Rowland/Grand Prix room at AXPONA 2019 and the Vivid/Rowland/Grand Prix room at RMAF 2019 translated in a different way to my ears. For whatever reason, IMO this combinatio... 
RMAF 2019!
I basically agree with this list (although not the order), with one exception, although I didn't get close to listening to very room. Instead of the Revel room, I would replace it with Goebel/CH Precision/Kronos/Nordost room.
