| How much does your system retail for? A bit over $ 14,000. It feels like so much more though! | |
| Totem Forests vs Hawks...which is superior? Well, I had this same dilemma. I listened to both on my same equipment for hours and hours. Cost being no object (or only a very slight object), I wanted to get the most pleasing sound to my ears. I was downspending from previously sold speakers s... | |
| the best music dvd video?? I second Diana Krall "Live in Paris". Very good. Also, Phill Collins "the final farewell tour". Awesome. I would be remiss if I didn't say Joe Satriani "Live in Sanfransisco". Amazing guitar. | |
| Usher Be 718 or Kitty Kat Revelators? Kitty Kat Revelators look like they were built from Parts Express prebuilt cabinets. Not that their sound won't be good as I haven't heard them. I have however, heard lots of monitors in my day including the Be-718's and I have to say the 718's ar... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame John Curl. The Parasound JC-2, JC-1's, CTC Blowtorch Pre, and Vendetta Phonostage define his accomplishments. All World Class to World Beating products. | |
| Parasound P/LD-2000 I just couldn't help but want to jump into an old argument. I've got a JC-2 nah, na, na na, na! It's awesome as well as sexy. I couldn't help but be entertained with this thread though.For anybody still reading this, go to www.parasound.com, click... | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? I always played with whatever stereo stuff we had laying around the house as a kid, an old turntable and such. But it wasn't until I heard my brother in laws system in my teens, with some monoblock amps that looked like legos he was working on, an... | |

| Power or Integr. amp recommendations for Revel F30 You probably have your solution by now, but if not get the Parasound A21. It's got tons of "juice". I upgraded from the A23 myself, and it is a whole new beast. It really makes any speaker I connect to it sing. I've got some pretty inefficient spe... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Music Hall CD 25.2 is unbeatable for $599. I've got one, up on spikes, with an aftermarket power cord and it sounds fantastic. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I like Glenlivet 12 year. I know a bit plain, but I'm only 30, I haven't even heard of many of the other ones that are mentioned. Also, for a decent bargain J+B 6 year does the trick. Most often it's just a canadian whisky on the rocks. | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I had a girlfriend. I bought a new preamp, and some cables for my system, which she didn't seem to approve of. Then when I sold my speakers, she said "you're probably just going to buy more audio equipment now!", with disdain. Of course if I didn'... | |
| Bellari VP129 thoughts/experiences? I use them in systems with no issues. The manual even talks about how to correct any noise problems, but I haven't had any so it wasn't needed. I think they sound great, and you can't quibble about the price. Certainly the cheapest audiophile comp... | |
| What cartridges are good fits for the Bellari 129 I wouldn't say it's overpriced. It's practically the cheapest phono stage with a tube you can buy, and certainly the cheapest Stereophile class B rated phono stage. It does sound good with high output cartraiges. Fit n' finish could be better, but... | |
| What speakers can b considered as world reference? >And get real, the Wave Radio is much more accurate than those $4.00 cubes and your hoity toity high end garbage speakers.Ahhh lol. That's a good one. The $500 alarm clock Bose makes sounds good compared to $20 Kmart alarm clocks, I will give y... |
