THE NEW POLK LEGEND SERIES
Kenjit..It is absolutely essential to burn in the components on the crossover boards. Quite often, you will notice that high end speakers have several crossover boards as compared to low end speakers with one board. The parts that make up the boar... 
HAIL TO THE KING..GINGER BAKER
Why did Buddy Rich call Ginger Baker a clown? Because Baker really ticked off Buddy Rich for a very good reason. Back in the late 60's I use to "read" my older brothers' Playboy magazines. (sure I did!). During that time period Playboy had their a... 
THE NEW POLK LEGEND SERIES
Whats the point? A completely deceptive review that could easily scare away a budding or casual audiophile. 
Most annoying song, period.
Definitively Yoko Ono's screeching voice. The first time I heard Yoko Onoon the White Album, my living room window cracked, and my ears bled for two days and I almost blew my brains out. Its to bad the Mother ship never picked her up. 
Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer?
I concur on the Sax. I have all the original master tape recordings of Stan Getzs' very best work. The number one selling jazz album of all time, as many are aware is "Kind of Blue" by Miles and an album that will stand the sands of time which we ... 
HAIL TO THE KING..GINGER BAKER
Good point about John Bonham. Buddy Rich the greatest drummer? Maybe, if you judge him for speed. But hes' old school. Very mechanical playing like so many other jazz drummers from his era. But no way could he ever match Bakers' foot work on doubl... 
I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
As many are aware, ELAC purchased Oscar Heils' AMT tweeter patentin 1993, and took it much further with design upgrades that has resultedIMO the finest tweeter on the planet. Their current jet 5 tweeter is killer.During the past six months, while ...

DAVID BELLES-VIRTUOSO COMPONENTS
Hey Johnny R at Audio Connect. By chance if you happen to come across this thread would you mind sharing with us your listening experience with the new Virtuoso amplifier you've had on display at your store for the past month, assuming that its bu... 
DAVID BELLES-VIRTUOSO COMPONENTS
facten973...How silly! David Belles has one of  strongest word of mouth reputations globally and does not need to advertise in the magazines to stay afloat. His design work at Magnum Dynalab and OCM Labs in the past speaks for itself. I've listene... 
BELLES VIRTUOSO INTEGRATED UPDATE
One note of importance I neglected to mention regarding an interview I read online with Dave Belles and the Virtuoso line in late 2017. David Belles is retiring and his home in New York which is also his corporate address for Power Modules, is up ... 
Where on earth is the Belles Virtuoso?
UPDATE ON THE BELLES VIRTUOSO INTEGRATED...Spoke to Johnny yesterday at Audio Connect and he informed me that the production platform for the Virtuoso has finally been completed and set up just days ago and production, according to his recent talk... 
Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records
In addition to cleaning your vinyl with the best hardware, there is an electronic device that makes your vinyl as quiet as a CD, but it will cost you. The price on the component varies between $1600.00 and $2000.00 depending who you buy from. The ... 
Balanced cables
Just wanted to reiterate that if designer lays out his signal path to be more direct to the XLR and the gain is set higher to that output it will always sound better which is the intention, if the opposite is done to the RCA out, it will always so... 
Balanced cables
The only reason James Cannon designed the XLR is for very long cable runs beyond 25 feet. A very well designed solid state preamp is quiet as a tomb and its redundant to use a 1 meter pair of XLR's since there is no noise to deal with. To create t...
